| Abstract: | The currents in the central part of the Drake Passage are investigated by analyzing the CTD and SADCP data over the section
across the Drake Passage occupied in November 2010 and satellite altimetry data. All eight of the jets of the Antarctic Circumpolar
Current, which are currently identidifed, were resolved by the section. The velocities and water transports of these jets
are estimated. Three synoptic scale eddies with different vertical structures were revealed; hypotheses on the physical nature
of these eddies are discussed. |
