|a On regional scales, changes in sea level are significantly
affected by local dynamical changes. Westerly winds over
the Southern Ocean have been strengthening and shifting
southward in recent decades, and this change is projected
to continue in the future. This study applies wind forcing
anomalies to an eddy-permitting ocean model to study the
dynamical response to a Southern Hemisphere westerly
wind increase and/or southward shift. It is shown that the
applied wind anomalies result in a change in sea surface
slope across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current such that
a fall in sea level occurs around the Antarctic continental
margin. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current transport and
regional sea level are particularly sensitive to latitudinal
shifts in the wind, with a much more muted response found
when only wind strengthening is applied. In addition to the
local sea level changes, Southern Ocean winds also have a
global effect through changing ocean heat content and the
global overturning circulation. |
