While the circumpolar current is the dominant feature of the Southern Ocean, there are other important flows in the north-south direction and in the vertical plane. The average depth of the ocean ranges from 2,000 to 4,000 metres.he temperature of the water in the Southern Ocean has a powerful influence on the climate of much of the earth. The current is not always stable. It can develop disturbances called waves or eddies which involve the entire water column.
The main currents in the Arctic. The Arctic surface waters extend to a depth of about 46 meters, and are far less salty than the waters below. The deeper Arctic waters near the ocean floor are very salty and therefore quite dense, and so do not flow readily. Generally, the surface waters of the Arctic Ocean circulate in a large clockwise rotational pattern moving from east to west around the polar ice cap.
