  • Variability in Ocean Currents Around Australia
    State and Trends of Australia’s Oceans Report 1.4 Variability in ocean currents around Australia Charitha B. Pattiaratchi1,2 and Prescilla Siji1,2 1 Oceans Graduate School, The University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia 2 UWA Oceans Institute, The University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia Summary Ocean currents also have a strong influence on marine ecosystems, through the transport of heat, nutrients, phytoplankton, zooplankton and larvae of most marine animals. We used geostrophic currents derived satellite altimetry measurements between 1993 and 2019 to examine the Kinetic Energy (KE, measure of current intensity) and Eddy Kinetic Energy (EKE, variability of the currents relative to a mean) around Australia. The East Australian (EAC) and Leeuwin (LC) current systems along the east and west coasts demonstrated strong seasonal and inter-annual variability linked to El Niño and La Niña events. The variability in the LC system was larger than for the EAC. All major boundary currents around Australia were enhanced during the 2011 La Niña event.

  • Wintertime Circulation Off Southeast Australia: Strong Forcing by the East Australian Current John F
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 110, C12012, doi:10.1029/2004JC002855, 2005 Wintertime circulation off southeast Australia: Strong forcing by the East Australian Current John F. Middleton School of Mathematics, University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Mauro Cirano Centro de Pesquisa em Geofisica e Geologia, Universidade Federal da Bahia, Salvador, Brazil Received 21 December 2004; revised 18 April 2005; accepted 22 September 2005; published 13 December 2005. [1] Numerical results and observations are used to examine the sub–weather band wintertime circulation off the eastern shelf slope region between Tasmania and Cape Howe. The numerical model is forced using wintertime-averaged atmospheric fluxes of momentum, heat, and freshwater and using transports along open boundaries that are obtained from a global ocean model. The boundary to the north of Cape Howe has a prescribed transport of 17 Sv, which from available observations represents strong forcing by the East Australian Current (EAC). Nonetheless, the model results are in qualitative (and quantitative) agreement with several observational studies. In accord with observations, water within Bass Strait is found to be driven to the east and north with speeds of up to 30 cm sÀ1 off the southeast Victorian coast. The water is colder and denser than that found farther offshore, which is associated with the southward flowing (warm) EAC. In agreement with observations the density difference between the two water masses is about 0.6 kg mÀ3 and leads to a cascade of dense Bass Strait water to depths of 300 m and as a plume that extends 5–10 km in the cross-shelf direction.

  • Analysis of Hydrographic and Stable Isotope Data to Determine Water Masses, Circulation, and Mixing in the Eastern Great Australian Bight Laura E
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 114, C10016, doi:10.1029/2009JC005407, 2009 Analysis of hydrographic and stable isotope data to determine water masses, circulation, and mixing in the eastern Great Australian Bight Laura E. Richardson,1 T. Kurt Kyser,2 Noel P. James,2 and Yvonne Bone3 Received 26 March 2009; revised 29 July 2009; accepted 6 August 2009; published 17 October 2009. [1] Hydrographic and stable isotope data from waters in the eastern Great Australian Bight (GAB) sampled during March–April 1998 indicate that both mixing and evaporative processes are important on the shelf. Five water masses are defined on the basis of their temperature, salinity, d2H and d18O values. Two of these are end-members, the Flinders Current (FC) and the Great Australian Bight Plume (GABP), whereas the other three are a result of mixing between these two end-members. Water mass distribution reflects an anticyclonic gyre in the eastern GAB. Cool and fresh water present at depth along the Eyre Peninsula is sourced from upwelling of Flinders Current water directly from the shelf break. This water is progressively heated, evaporated, and mixed with warmer and more saline shelf waters as it flows around the gyre. High temperatures, salinities, and d2H values in surface waters in the central GAB suggest that the Great Australian Bight Plume has a greater spatial extent than previously recorded, also occurring along the shelf edge between 130°E and 133°E. A high temperature, high salinity, low d2H water mass that is isotopically similar to the Flinders Current occurs in the west of the study area, indicating intrusion of Flinders Current water into the central GAB.

  • Baroclinic Transport Variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current South of Australia (WOCE Repeat Section SR3) Stephenr
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 106, NO. C2, PAGES 2815-2832, FEBRUARY 15, 2001 Baroclinic transport variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current south of Australia (WOCE repeat section SR3) StephenR. Rintoul and SergueiSokolov CSIRO Marine Research and Antarctic Cooperative Research Centre Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Abstract. Baroclinic transport variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) near 140øEis estimatedfrom six occupationsof a repeat sectionoccupied as part of the World OceanCirculation Experiment (WOCE sectionSR3). The meantop-to-bottom volume transport is 147+10 Sv (mean+l standarddeviation), relative to a deep referencelevel consistentwith water mass properties and float trajectories. The location and transport of the main fronts of the ACC are relatively steady: the Subantarctic Front carries 105+7 Sv at a mean latitude between 51o and 52øS;the northern branch of the Polar Front carries 5+5 Sv to the east between 53ø and 54øS;the southern Polar Front carries 24+3 Sv eastward at 59øS; and two cores of the southern ACC front at 62ø and 64øS carry 18+3 and ll+3 Sv, respectively. The variability in net property transports is largely due to variability of currents north of the ACC, in particular, an outflow of 8+13 Sv of water from the Tasman Sea and a deep anticyclonicrecirculation carrying 22+8 Sv in the Subantarctic Zone. Variability of net baroclinic volume transport is similar in magnitude to that measuredat Drake Passage.In density layers, transport variability is small in deeplayers, but significant(range of 4 to 16 Sv) in the SubantarcticMode Water. Variability of eastwardheat transportacross SR3 is significant(range of 139øCSv, or 0.57x 10•5 W, relativeto 0øC)and large relative to meridionalheat flux in the Southern Hemispheresubtropical gyres.

Lead author email: [email protected] Summary: The East Australian Current (EAC) is a complex and highly energetic western boundary system in the south-western Pacific off eastern Australia. The EAC provides both the western boundary of the South Pacific Gyre and the linking element between the Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres. The EAC is weaker than other western boundary currents and is dominated by a series of mesoscale eddies that produce highly variable patterns of current strength and direction. Seasonal, interannual and strong decadal changes are observed in the current, which tend to mask the underlying long-term trends related to greenhouse gas forcing.
