Large-scale
geostrophic wind-driven currents will be
|
|
|
|
strong for
isobaths which are not closed.
|
|
|
|

Wilkinson and
Jordan Basins (which have closed isobaths) will retain
|
|
|
diapausers
efficiently, while Georges Basin (which does not have a
|
|
|
closed 200 m
isobath) may lose or gain organisms through the NEC to
|
|
|
|
and from the
shelf/slope and the MAB.
|
|
|
| • |
Deep-water
circulation may cause some loss of animals out
|
|
|
through the GSC.
|
|
|
| • |
The
counterclockwise gyre circulation in the basins may
|
|
|
|
drive a bottom
Ekman current that can concentrate
|
|
|
|
diapausers in the
deep basins.
