Abstract
One- and two-layer models of the Antarctic Ocean are examined. Both the peripheral discharge (caused by melting and ablation) and the surface wind stress (due to an easterly wind system) are taken into account. It is shown that these two driving mechanisms partially counteract each other. As a result, the net zonal transport is smaller than that in the case of purely wind driving.
