Dynamics of the Upper Oceanic Layers in Terms of Surface Quasigeostrophy Theory (2006, background): “The parameter settings correspond to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), one of the regions of the real ocean where the idealized geometry and forcings that we use applies well (Karsten et al. 2002).”
The Dependence of Southern Ocean Meridional Overturning on Wind Stress (2011, methodology): “As a result, channel-only models that attempt to investigate the Southern Ocean MOC without representing other basins find vanishingly weak deep residual circulations (Karsten et al. 2002; Kuo et al. 2005; Cessi et al. 2006; Cerovečki et al. 2009).”
Simulated changes in the extratropical Southern Hemisphere winds and currents (2006, background): “However, a simple theoretical argument based on residual-mean theory [Rintoul et al., 2001; Karsten et al., 2002; Marshall and Radko, 2003] can be made to suggest that strengthening and poleward shifting of the zonal wind stress over the Southern Ocean should result in strengthening and poleward shi”
Residual-Mean Solutions for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and Its Associated Overturning Circulation (2003, background): “(31) was first derived heuristically by Johnson and Bryden (1989)—see the discussion in Karsten et al. (2002) and Olbers and Ivchenko (2002).”
Estimating Eddy Stresses by Fitting Dynamics to Observations Using a Residual-Mean Ocean Circulation Model and Its Adjoint (2005, background): “The eddy-induced circulation exactly opposes the Eulerian circulation, and the residual circulation is zero (see Karsten et al. 2002 for a numerical illustration).”
Constructing the Residual Circulation of the ACC from Observations (2002, background): “Air-sea buoyancy fluxes play an essential role in the transformation of water masses (Deacon, 1984; Speer et al., 2000; Karsten et al., 2002 ).”
Eddy stirring in the Southern Ocean (2011, background): “Estimates of ce in the literature are based chiefly on the analysis of numerical simulations of a fully developed mesoscale eddy field [e.g., Holloway and Kristmannsson, 1984; Visbeck et al., 1997; Karsten et al., 2002], and generally fall in the range 0.01– 0.4.”
Oceanic Restratification Forced by Surface Frontogenesis (2006, background): “Marshall et al. (2002) and Karsten et al. (2002) have proposed a theory, based on numerical simulations, to relate the stratification setup over the whole water column in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to lateral and vertical eddy fluxes.”
The dynamical balance, transport and circulation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (2004, methodology): “The shortcut described by Karsten et al. (2002) and Karsten & Marshall (2002) where φres is simply set equal to the Eulerian transport τ0/f (or a specified fraction of it) lacks physical grounds.”
VERTICAL MIXING, ENERGY, AND THE GENERAL CIRCULATION OF THE OCEANS (2004, background): “The importance of eddies in the ocean circulation varies from slight over most of the open ocean, to very important in western boundary regions, and in the Southern Ocean (e.g., Karsten et al. 2002).”
