| Abstract: |
| A coupled ice-ocean isopycnal numerical model of the Southern Ocean is established to study the circulation and its seasonal variability in the region around the Kerguelen Plateau.An analysis of the simulated results shows significant stripe-like structure and non-zonal feature of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) in this region.ACC begins to bifurcate and to turn its direction before meeting the plateau.The southernmost branch of ACC is near to the Antarctic coast and displays its strong interaction with the westward Antarctic Slope Current.The northern branch of ACC has a tendency of annual variations while the southern one varies in a semiannual cycle.The variation phases of both branches are coincident with that of the wind stress in this region. |
