title:
Eddy saturation and eddy compensation
text:
Eddy saturation and eddy compensation are phenomena found in the Southern Ocean. Both are limiting processes where eddy activity increases due to the momentum of strong westerlies, and hence do not enhance their respective mean currents. Where eddy saturations impacts the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), eddy compensation influences the associated Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC). In recent decades wind stresses in the Southern Ocean have increased partly due to greenhouse gases and
