On the subtropical front in the South Atlantic Ocean
… gradients to track the surface expression of the Subtropical Front from AMSR and OISST satellite derived sea surface temperature data reveals consistencies with previous literature.

Statistical modelling and variability of the subtropical front, New Zealand
Ocean fronts are narrow zones of intense dynamic activity that play an important role in global ocean-atmosphere interactions. Of particular significance is the circumglobal frontal system of the Southern Ocean where intermediate water masses are formed, heat, salt, nutrients and momentum are …

Characterization of a warm-cored agulhas ring travelling south of the subtropical front
… The majority of Agulhas rings remain within the Subtropical domain, however during the 2008 Goodhope cruise a positive anomaly was observed south of the Subtropical Front in the Subantarctic zone. Studying these features which drift into the Subantarctic domain may be important in understanding …

Phytoplankton community structure, productivity and nitrogen metabolism as a function of light availability in the Atlantic sector of the southern Ocean by Erika Anne Kean.
… legs surveyed the following regions, the Subtropical zone (STZ) north of the Subtropical Front (STF), the Northern Antarctic Circumpolar Current zone (N-ACC) from the STF to the Antarctic Polar Front (APF), the Antarctic zone (AAZ) from the APF to the Southern Boundary (SBdy) of the ACC, …

Trace elements in marine biogenic carbonates: analysis and application to past ocean chemistry
… records from sites north and south of the Subtropical Front on Chatham Rise,<br/>demonstrate the effects of hydrography, foraminiferal habitat and dissolution as controls<br/>on Mg/Ca. Determinations of Cd/Ca in seven species of planktonic foraminifera<br/>confirm that the dominant controls …

Aspects of southern ocean transport and mixing
… 174 ± 22 Sv, mostly associated with the blended Subtropical Front/Subantarctic Front. Significant water mass transformation across isopycnals is not required to balance the budgets in this region. Secondly, results are presented which cast doubt on the advisability of using density profiles …

Diversity of New Zealand Deep-sea Amphipoda
… margins. I conclude that Cook Strait and the subtropical front are important structures responsible for shaping benthic communities on New Zealand continental margins and that vicariance is likely to have played an important role in the evolutionary radiation of the New Zealand deep-sea fauna.

Aspects of Neogene palaeoceanography in the southern Tasman Sea (DSDP site 593)
… describing the Neogene palaeoceanography. The Subtropical Front lies south of Site 593, and has done so throughout the Neogene, separating surface waters of tropical- and antarctic-origin. Cool Subtropical Waters (CSTW) at the modern surface are underlain by Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) …
