I'm a PhD student at the NOC (Southampton) currently Investigating the impacts of far field forcing on the Southern Ocean Residual Overturning Circulation. I'm interested in investigating how the residual overturning circulation (ROC) changes with different amounts of NADW formation and in how this moderates my surface eddy heat fluxes to give rise to a change in the ROC. Currently I'm investigating this using idealised channel models with the MITgcm and varying the stratification at the northern boundary to represent varying amounts of NADW formation.
