Mesoscale eddies play a crucial role in the dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) by facilitating horizontal redistribution and vertical penetration of the momentum, contributing to the meridional heat transport and the budgets of energy and momentum of the ACC. This chapter discusses the dynamics of the ACC based on results of numerical models that permit or resolve the mesoscale eddies. Conclusions are drawn by comparing and contrasting results from different models, including both quasi-geostrophic and primitive equation models.
