Zonal Asymmetry of the Belt-like Dynamic Sea Level Change in the Southern Ocean

Satellite altimetry (1993–2024) reveals that the Southern Ocean dynamic sea level (DSL) exhibits a distinct belt-like pattern, with smaller rises south of 50°S and larger rises to the north. This zonal belt is not uniform but strongly asymmetric, with the largest DSL increase in the Pacific sector and weaker changes...
