  abstract = {{M}ajor pathways and transport of the {A}ntarctic {C}ircumpolar {C}urrent ({ACC}) crossing the {K}erguelen {P}lateau were directly observed during the 2009 {T}rack cruise. {T}he net eastward transport to the south of the {H}eard/{M}c{D}onald {I}slands is estimated as 56 {S}v (1 {S}v = 10(6) m(3) s(-1)), 43 {S}v of which is tightly channelled into the {F}awn {T}rough that appears as a predominant cross-plateau gateway of circumpolar flow associated with the {S}outhern {ACC} {F}ront ({SACCF}). {T}here are also two secondary passages, with one (6 {S}v) being attached to the nearshore slope just south of the {H}eard/{M}c{D}onald {I}slands and the other (7 {S}v) passing through the northern {P}rincess {E}lizabeth {T}rough. {W}ith an additional 2 {S}v inferred just south of the {K}erguelen {I}slands, the transport across the entire plateau amounts to 58 {S}v, accounting for similar to 40% of the total {ACC} transport transiting through the region, 147-52 {S}v, quantities consistent with other independent estimates in the {I}ndian sector of the {S}outhern {O}cean. {C}itation: {P}ark, {Y}.-{H}., {F}. {V}ivier, {F}. {R}oquet, and {E}. {K}estenare (2009), {D}irect observations of the {ACC} transport across the {K}erguelen {P}lateau, {G}eophys. {R}es. {L}ett., 36, {L}18603, doi:10.1029/2009{GL}039617.},
