The Antarctic Ocean, along with the adjacent southern seas, is of substantial importance for global climate and for the distributionofwater masses because itprovides large regions ofthe world ocean with intermediate and bottom waters. In contrast to the North Atlantic, the Southern Ocean acts more as an "information distributor", as opposed to an amplifier. Just as the North Atlantic is influencedby the South Atlantic through the contributionofwarm surface water,the incomingsupply ofNADW - in the area of the Southern Ocean as Circumantarctic Deep Water - influences the oceanography ofthe Antarctic. The competing influences from the northern and southern oceans on the current and mass budget systems can be best studied in the South Atlantic. Not only do changes in the current systems in the eastern Atlantic high-production regions affect the energy budget, they also influence the nutrient inventories, and therefore impact the entire productivity ofthe ocean. In addition, the broad region of the polar front is a critical area with respect to productivity-related | 出版日期 | Book 2004 | 关键词 | Arctic Ocean; Atlantic Ocean; Ocean; Oceanography; Sediment; Sedimentation; Southern Ocean; diagenesis; ecol | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-18917-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-62354-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-18917-3 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004 |
