Variability in the location of the Antarctic Polar Front (90°-20°W) from satellite sea surface temperature data

Creator:

Moore, J. Keith, Abbott, Mark R., and Richman, James

Abstract:

The path of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) is mapped using satellite sea surface temperature data from the NOAA/NASA Pathfinder program. The mean path and variability of the PF are strongly influenced by bathymetry. Meandering intensity is weaker where the bathymetry is steeply sloped and increases in areas where the...
