摘要
Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), a key component of the global meridional overturning circulation, is formed in distinct source regions around Antarctica. However, many studies treat AABW as a homogeneous water mass, potentially overlooking significant regional variations. This study uses a classification scheme to delineate AABW into three subtypes based on their source regions: Weddell Sea-originated AABW (WS-AABW), Ross Sea-originated AABW (RS-AABW), and Adélie Land-originated AABW (ADL-AABW). The definition combines salinity and neutral density, building upon in-situ observations. We then assess the capability of multiple datasets—including World Ocean Atlas 2023 (WOA23), an ensemble ocean reanalysis product (GLOBAL_MULTIYEAR_PHY_ENS_001_031), and outputs from 16 CMIP6 models—to exhibit spatial distribution and properties of these AABW subtypes. The results show that WOA23 provides a climatological representation of all three AABW subtypes. The ensemble reanalysis product also performs well compared to WOA23, albeit with an overestimation of ADL-AABW. Almost all CMIP6 models cannot simulate the three types of AABW, but some models can reflect them after bias correction.
