Description:The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) plays a vital role in the interbasin exchange of ocean properties. A robust method to reconstruct the ACC baroclinic transport is helpful to assess the ACC's sensitivity to a changed climate. Here we test the reconstruction methods at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ∼20 ka) using end-member water masses in a fully coupled, isotope-enabled Community Earth System Model. Model results suggest that the density profile at the northern side of ocean margins across the ACC can be reconstructed well from end-member water masses of Subtropical Surface Water (STSW), Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW), and Lower Circumpolar Deep Water.
