In this study, we use an eddy-resolving global ocean-sea ice model, forced by an atmospheric reanalysis, to estimate the subduction due to the mean flow and also, for the first time, directly compute the horizontal and vertical eddy contributions to subduction in the Southern Ocean.

We investigate the influence of a standing meander south of Australia on air-sea heat fluxes, upper ocean structure, and subduction. The standing meander induces trough-to-crest variations in surface heat flux, mixed layer depth (MLD), wind stress curl, vertical velocity, and subduction.

The local separation and regional energy exchange along this deep current contribute to further discussions about the pathways of the AMOC and heat fluxes in the South Atlantic.

We investigate the genesis of a subsurface frontal meander of the NBUC, centred at about 4°S, 36.5°W, called the Potiguar Eddy (PE). The Feature Models (FMs) of NBUC and DWBC are first developed from observed velocity data.
