Abstract

The behaviour of the circulation of the Southern Oceans, with special focus on the Weddell Sea is examined through a simulation with the state-of-the art coupled climate model of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR CCSM 3.0). Results are analized from 1870 to the year 2000 where both solar constant and greenhouse gases vary. (AU)
