Variability in the Southern Ocean

Key collaborators: SANAP, UCT This SANAP funded project was initiated to further understand the interaction of the (Southern Annular Mode) in the Southern Ocean with the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), its relationship with subtropical sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and the resulting influence on Southern African climate. This project has now come to an end but two masters students (co-supervised by Juliet) graduated working on this project, one paper is in press and the other is undergoing corrections. Through this project SANAP also contributed to the Argo floats.
