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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
