The total transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current has changed significantly over geological and modern timescales.
Geological and modern observational studies confirm that the total transport and dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current have experienced substantial variability across multiple timescales.
The retrieved literature spans geological proxy reconstructions (e.g., Neodymium isotopes) and modern satellite observations (e.g., GRACE), consistently demonstrating that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current changes significantly over both geological epochs and modern interannual-to-decadal timescales. No papers refute the claim.

Paper [0] demonstrates through neodymium isotopes that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current experienced significant developmental changes and varying transport patterns from the Oligocene to the Miocene.
