模拟了一个理想的，但旋涡解析的南极环极流（ACC）通道模式，研究了ACC输送对风和表面浮力强迫的敏感性。结果与涡旋饱和极限的理论预测一致，在该极限中，输运与风应力无关。在这一参数体系中，浮力力是对ACC输送的主要控制。引文：Hogg， A. McC。（2010），表层浮力驱动的南极环极流，地球物理学报。卷。， 37, L23601, doi:10.1029/2010GL044777。
Simulations of an idealised, but eddy-resolving, channel model of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) are used to investigate the sensitivity of ACC transport to wind and surface buoyancy forcing. The results are consistent with theoretical predictions of the eddy-saturated limit, where transport is independent of wind stress. In this parameter regime, buoyancy forcing provides the primary control over ACC transport. Citation: Hogg, A. McC.
