Vertical Exchange In The Southern Ocean
Southern Ocean Vertical Exchangehistorically, The Global Ocean Has Played A Critical Role In Mitigating Global Climate Change By Taking Up Most Of The Excess Heat And About 30 % Of The Anthropogenic Co2 Emissions From The Atmosphere. The Greatest Part Of This Process Occurred Through The Renewal Of Subsurface Waters In The Southern Ocean. However, Global Climate Models Still Fail To Represent The Region’S Past Climatic Changes, Leading To Significant Uncertainties In Future Projections. The Eu-Funded Vertexso Project Will Study Vertical Transport Processes In Observations And Model Simulations, With A Particular Focus On Convective Plumes. Vertexso Will Improve The Representation Of Vertical Transport Processes In Models, Assess Their Impact On Vertical Heat And Carbon Exchange, And Develop Innovative Methods To Monitor Them.
