About this ebook
The ""Southern Ocean"" reveals how this unique body of water significantly influences global climate patterns, sustains fragile marine ecosystems, and drives ocean circulation.
It highlights the ocean's outsized impact on our planet, despite its relatively smaller geographical area.
For instance, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), a dominant feature, impacts global heat distribution and ocean currents far beyond the Southern Hemisphere.
The book also explores the Southern Ocean's crucial role in carbon sequestration, absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide and influencing global climate.
