A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review focuses on connections between different components of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, drawing together contemporary perspectives from different research communities, with the objective of closing loops in our understanding of the complex network of feedbacks in the overall system. The review is targeted at researchers in Southern Ocean physical science with the ambition of broadening their knowledge beyond their specific field, and aims at facilitating better-informed interdisciplinary collaborations. For the purposes of this review, the Southern Ocean dynamic system is divided into four main components: large-scale circulation; cryosphere; turbulence; and gravity waves. Overviews are given of the key dynamical phenomena for each component, before describing the linkages between the components. The reviews are complemented by an overview of observed Southern Ocean trends and future climate projections. Priority research areas are identified to close remaining loops in our understanding of the Southern Ocean system.

关闭南大洋动力学的循环：从绕极洋流到冰架，从底部混合到表面波


结合南大洋动力系统在全球气候中发挥的关键作用及其正在经历的深刻变化，对南大洋动力系统进行了全面审查。该评论的重点是南大洋动力系统不同组成部分之间的联系，汇集了不同研究界的当代观点，目的是在我们对整个系统中复杂的反馈网络的理解中形成闭环。该综述针对的是南大洋物理科学领域的研究人员，他们希望将知识拓展到特定领域之外，并旨在促进更明智的跨学科合作。出于本次审查的目的，南大洋动力系统分为四个主要组成部分：大尺度环流；冰冻圈；湍流；和重力波。在描述组件之间的联系之前，概述了每个组件的关键动力学现象。这些评论还补充了观察到的南大洋趋势和未来气候预测的概述。确定优先研究领域是为了闭合我们对南大洋系统的理解中的剩余循环。
