Horizontal momentum fluxes associated with tides in the MLT over Antarctica. 38th COSPAR Scientific Assembly, Bremen, Germany, 18-25 July 2010, 2010 (Ref: 14287)
Category 3: Poster

A consequence of the wave-number rich tidal activity that has been observed in the southern polar MLT is that the horizontal flux of horizontal momentum (u'v') is likely to be non-zero. This quantity is affected by the phase angle between the zonal and meridional wind perturbations.

Sources of Sea Salts to Coastal Antarctica. Abstract C24A-02 presented at 2010 Fall Meeting, AGU, San Francisco, Calif., 13-17 Dec., 2010 (Ref: 14273)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Coastal Antarctic sea salt aerosols are partitioned into two main sources, namely ocean sea spray and surface sea ice. The sea spray source is related to windiness over the surface ocean and the action of bubbles bursting.

High resolution climate proxy records from Australian Antarctic ice core research. Australia New Zealand Climate Forum, Hobart, September 2010, 2010 (Ref: 14253)
Category 3: Conference paper

The Antarctic ice sheet holds a wealth of information on past climate variability, locked away in successive layers buried by further snowfall. In the coastal regions of Antarctica, snowfall rates can be high enough to hold layers of climate data on monthly, or better, time resolution.

Impacts of ocean acidification and temperature increase on juvenile Antarctic heart urchin Abatus nimrodi. SCAR Open Science Conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 3-6 August 2010., 2010 (Ref: 14677)
Category 3: Conference paper

Effects of ocean acidification in conjunction with temperature change warrants investigation as little is known about potential interactive effects of these parameters on Antarctic benthic species.

Using genetic algorithms to calibrate a dimethylsulfide production model in the Arctic Ocean. Chinese Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 2010 (Ref: 14670)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The global climate is intimately connected to changes in the polar oceans. The variability of … sea ice coverage affects deep-water formations and large-scale thermohaline circulation patterns. The … polar radiative budget is sensitive to sea-ice loss and consequent surface albedo changes.
