abstract = "We investigate the impact of buoyancy and wind stress on Southern Ocean transport through a fully resolved idealised direct numerical simulation model. A scaled re-entrant channel with zonal wind forcing, differential heating over the surface and bottom topography is used to model transport in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Cooling over the southern portion of the domain triggers convection. Our simulations fully resolve all length scales, resulting in a more accurate representation of small-scale processes like convection and eddy formation and their impact on mean transport. Results suggest that surface wind stress enhances the isopycnal slope across the channel, leading to baroclinic instability and the formation of small-scale baroclinic eddies.",
