The Southern Ocean

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

The surface waters and winds of the Southern Ocean drive constantly, without interruption by land, from the west around the Antarctic continent. The Antarctic convergence zone dramatically bounds the cold waters of the Southern Ocean at its northern edge, and encloses a marine ecosystem characterised by fewer species than warmer climes and simple, short, ecological relationships among its animal and bird inhabitants.
