The recent increase in high quality data for the Antarctic              Circumpolar Current with advances in computer technology allows                 the possibility of constructing high resolution numerical models                that can be forced with real winds and verified against                         observations. One such set of data is the FGGE (First GARP Global               Experiment) wind fields estimated twice daily on a grid of 1.875x               by 1.875x and the current measurement on the Drake passage made                 during the DRAKE 79 experiment. Both datasets span the same time                interval for more than one year (1979). The Australian Bureau of                Meteorology surface pressure analysis and the FGGE surface                      drifters give additional datasets that can be used by the models.                       The investigator proposes to use three models of increasing             complexity. A verticclly integrated, quasi-geostrophic model,                   a two-layer, quasi-geostrophic model and a three-level primitive                equation model. These models will be used to determine the                      fundamental dynamical balances for the Antarctic Circumpolar                    Current and the frequency response of the circulation to the                    forcing winds.
