New hydrographic and nutrient data obtained on a section across Drake Passage (F/S Meteor January 1990, World Ocean Circulation Experiment Hydrographic Program section S1) are in close agreement with property sections reported previously. The chlorofluoromethanes CFM 11 and CFM 12 were measured in Drake Passage for the first time. CFM concentrations are found to decrease from the surface down into the Upper Circumpolar Deep Water, for which they confirm water renewal from the south. For the Lower Circumpolar Deep Water, in which CFM concentrations were above detection limit only south of the Polar Front, very little water renewal on the CFM time scale is implied. Nonvanishing CFM is again found in the Weddell Sea Deep Water and the Southeast Pacific Deep Water toward the bottom in the south, but recent ventilation for the latter water mass is rejected. CFM 11 and CFM 12 concentrations vary essentially in constant proportion down to very low concentrations, questioning the possibility of using CFM ratios as “age” markers. The observed ratios are shown to be a natural feature of the upwelling regime of the southern ocean. Property concentrations on isopycnal surfaces display large undulations, reaching down into the Upper Circumpolar Deep Water. Their extrema, due to varying contribution of young water of southern origin, are situated at the boundaries of the current bands of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current The feature is ascribed to property advection by rings and is taken to support previous claims that rings are an important transport mechanism across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and that they might assist in maintaining its fronts. |
