Improved projections of winds at the crossroads between Antarctica and the Southern Ocean
Start date:
1 February, 2021
End date:
1 July, 2024
Winds along the Antarctic coast are small scale but have global importance. Climate models must have a realistic representation of these winds as they influence ice shelves, sea ice and formation of the densest water in the world ocean. This project will improve observational knowledge of these winds and use this to both evaluate the current state-of-the art climate models and help make improvements for the next model generation.
