Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The geographic distribution, stocks and vertical profiles of phytoplankton of the seasonal ice zone off … east Antarctica were determined during the 2005–2006 austral summer during the Baseline Research … on Oceanography, Krill and the Environment-West (BROKE-West) survey.

First E region observations of mesoscale neutral wind interaction with auroral arcs Journal of Geophysical Research, 2010 (Ref: 14112)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We report the first observations of E region neutral wind fields and their interaction … with auroral arcs at mesoscale spatial resolution during geomagnetically quiet conditions at … Mawson, Antarctica. This was achieved by using a scanning Doppler imager…

Comparing the Upwelling of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water in Three Southern Ocean Sectors 17th AMOS Conference, 27-29 January 2010, Canberra, Australia, 2010 (Ref: 14113)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) is the most extensive water mass in the Australian Circumpolar Current (ACC). Upper CDW (UCDW) is studied here over the period 1958-2005 using Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis data.

Metaproteogenomic analysis of a dominant green sulfur bacterium from Ace Lake, Antarctica International Society of Microbial Ecology Journal, 2010 (Ref: 14093)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Green sulfur bacteria (GSB) (Chlorobiaceae) are primary producers that are important in global … carbon and sulfur cycling in natural environments. An almost complete genome sequence for a … single, dominant GSB species (‘C-Ace’)…

Optimal sampling regime for detecting significant differences in peak mass of chicks: a case study with the wandering albatross Diomedea exulans Endangered Species Research, 2010 (Ref: 14065)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Special emphasis should be placed on determining optimal sampling regimes to detect … statistically significant differences in key indicators between populations for species with high conservation … values, especially when invasive handling techniques are the only method of gathering … data.

Precursors of the Forbush decrease on 2006 December 14 observed with the Global Muon Detector Network (GMDN) The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 (Ref: 14066)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We analyze the precursor of a Forbush decrease (FD) observed with the Global Muon Detector Network on 2006 … December 14. An intense geomagnetic storm is also recorded during this FD with the peak Kp index of 8+.

Diurnal Variations of Global Thunderstorms and Electrified Shower Clouds and Their Contribution to the Global Electrical Circuit Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2010 (Ref: 14045)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The long-standing mainstay of support for C. T. R. Wilson’s global circuit hypothesis is the similarity … between the diurnal variation of thunderstorm days in universal time and the Carnegie curve of electrical … potential gradient.

On the connection between the atmospheric electric field measured at the surface and the ionospheric electric field in the Central Antarctica Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2010 (Ref: 14044)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Regular measurements of the atmospheric electric field made at Vostok Station (φ=78.451S; … ë=106.871E, elevation 3500 m) in Antarctica demonstrate that extremely intense electric fields … (1000–5000 V/m) can be observed during snow storms.

Texture-based classification of sub-Antarctic vegetation communities on Heard Island International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2010 (Ref: 14046)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This study was the first to use high-resolution IKONOS imagery to classify vegetation communities on … sub-Antarctic Heard Island. We focused on the use of texture measures, in addition to standard … multispectral information, to improve the classification of sub-Antarctic vegetation communities.

Spatial and seasonal distribution of adult Oithona similis in the Southern Ocean: Predictions using boosted regression trees Deep-Sea Research I, 2010 (Ref: 14041)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We applied a multivariate statistical modelling technique called boosted regression trees to derive relationships between environmental conditions and the distribution of the adult stage of the cyclopoid copepod Oithona similis in the Southern Ocean.

Through a glass less darkly—New approaches for studying the distribution, abundance and biology of Euphausiids Deep-Sea Research II, 2010 (Ref: 14043)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Euphausiids are vital components of many oceanic foodwebs. Due to their large size, they are key prey … species for many vertebrates, and several species are subject to commercial fisheries. The best studied … euphausiid species is Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)…

Seabird assemblages observed during the BROKE-West survey of the Antarctic coastline(30°E–80°E), January–March 2006 Deep-Sea Research II, 2010 (Ref: 14040)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Seabird surveys in January – March 2006 of a poorly known area of the Southern Ocean … adjacent to the East Antarctic coast identified six seabird communities, several of which were … comparable to seabird communities identified both in adjacent sectors of the Antarctic…

Comparison of OH and O2 rotational temperatures with SABER and SCIAMACHY temperatures in the context of the first NDMC measurement campaign EGU General Assembly, Vienna, Austria, 02 – 07 May 2010, 2010 (Ref: 14035)
Category 3: Abstract

The Network for the Detection of Mesopause Change (NDMC) is a global program with the mission to promote international cooperation among research groups investigating the mesopause region (80-100km) with the goal of early identification of changing climate signals. From September 01 to October 31…
