Abstract

The waters of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current at Drake Passage show mesoscale horizontal zonation into four water mass regimes horizontally separated by three fronts. Vertical profiles of T, S and O2 on opposite sides of each front are described and compared. Although the surface waters are significantly different across fronts, the vertical profiles from the same side of a specific front are remarkably uniform from year to year and from cruise to cruise....
