    The Southern Ocean is potentially a substantial sink of anthropogenic carbon dioxide; however, the regulation of this carbon sink by the wind-driven Ekman flow, mesoscale eddies and their interaction is under debate. Here, a high-resolution ocean circulation and carbon cycle model is used to study intra-annual variability in anthropogenic carbon dioxide over a two-year time period; the Ekman flow is found to be the primary mechanism of anthropogenic carbon dioxide transport across the Antarctic polar front.
