520 3# ‡aUses numerical sensitivity studies to examine role played by Southern Ocean winds and eddies in determining density structure of global ocean and magnitude and structure of global overturning circulation. Results indicate that explicit eddies affect both structure of overturning and response of overturning to wind stress changes. Presence of resolved eddies alters overturning cells involving Southern Ocean transformation of dense deep waters and light waters of sub-tropical origin into intermediate waters; extends surface-to-intermediate water cell farther south by hundreds of kilometres and causes deep-to-intermediate cell to draw on comparatively lighter deep waters. Overturning response to changes in winds is also sensitive to presence of eddies. In non-eddying simulation, changing Ekman transport produces comparable changes in overturning, involving transformation of deep waters and resembling mean circulation. In eddy-permitting simulations, significant faction of Ekman transport changes are compensated by eddy-induced transport drawing from lighter waters than does mean overturning. Results call into question ability of coarse-resolution ocean models to accurately capture impact of changes in Southern Ocean on global ocean circulation, of potential importance for climatically relevant processes including heat transport and storage, and carbon storage in the interior.
