HF echo types revisited: aspect angle attenuation effects Annales Geophysicae, 2009 (Ref: 14070)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The high-spatial-resolution observations of the auroral … E-region echoes by the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network … (SuperDARN) HF radar at Pykkvibaer, Iceland considered … in a previous study are re-examined.

Temperature of mesospheric ice retrieved from the O-H stretch band Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 (Ref: 14067)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

[1] For the first time, the temperature of mesospheric ice … particles is retrieved directly from ice infrared extinction … spectra measured in the solar occultation regime. The … position of ice O-H stretch band peak varies from … 3230cm1 at T = 120K to 3246cm1 at T = 155K…

Effects of atmospheric ionization during the ground level enhancement of 2005 Jan 20 6th Annual Meeting, Asia Oceania Geosciences Society, Singapore, 11-15 August 2009, 2009 (Ref: 14077)
Category 3: Abstract

We evaluate atmospheric ionization during the Ground Level Enhancement (GLE) of 2005 Jan 20 using two methods: a Monte-Carlo (MC) air-shower simulation [1] and a continuous slowing down (CSD) energy loss approximation [2,3]. For both methods…

Testing the utility of ice core records of 10Be as proxy indicators of past ground level enhancements in cosmic rays 6th Annual Meeting, Asia Oceania Geosciences Society, Singapore, 11-15 August 2009, 2009 (Ref: 14076)
Category 3: Abstract

radionuclide 10Be may provide information on the timing and magnitude of past ground level enhancements (GLEs) in cosmic rays. In this paper, ice core 10Be concentrations from recent decades are compared with neutron monitor data in order to test this hypothesis.

Projected changes to the Southern Hemisphere ocean and sea ice in the IPCC AR4 climate models Journal of Climate, 2009 (Ref: 14083)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Fidelity and projected changes in the climate models, used for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate … Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), are assessed with regard to the Southern Hemisphere … extratropical ocean and sea ice systems.

Effects of climate change on polar microbes Microbiology Australia, 2009 (Ref: 14094)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

It is a glaring fact that climate, and in particular global warming and associated climate change, is having a major impact on life on Earth, and will continue to do so into the forseeable future 1, 2.

Chapter 12: Phytoplankton Report Card of Marine Climate Change for Australia: detailed scientific assessment, NCCARF Publication 05/09, 2009 (Ref: 14084)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Prediction of the impact of global climate change on marine phytoplankton is fraught with uncertainties. Increasing temperature, enhanced surface stratification, alteration of ocean currents, intensification or weakening of local nutrient upwelling, stimulation of photosynthesis by elevated CO2…

A systematic survey of breeding Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) along Mawson and Kemp Land coasts, east Antarctica: new colonies and population counts Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13959)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Ade´lie penguin is broadly distributed throughout the … Antarctic, with a minimum breeding population of c. 2.5 … million pairs (Woehler 1993). This value is based on many … separate, independent studies at smaller scales…

Incomplete search effort: a potential source of bias in estimates of Adélie penguin breeding populations in the Australian Antarctic Territory Polar Record, 2009 (Ref: 13958)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Potential Ad´elie penguin Pygoscelis adeliae breeding habitat in the AustralianAntarctic Territory (AAT: 45◦E–136◦E, 142◦E–160◦E) was mapped using a geographic information system (GIS)…

Comparing Present and Paleo Ice Flow in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica First Antarctic Climate Evolution Symposium, Granada, Spain, 7-11 September 2009, 2009 (Ref: 13923)
Category 3: Poster

Reconstructing and modeling extent and dynamics of ice sheets is crucial in … understanding and predicting the evolution of ice sheets. Key to ice sheet dynamics are ice … streams, which drain most of the ice from the ice sheet interior to the ice shelves, where most of … the ice is lost.

Properties of a marine ice layer under the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica Journal of Glaciology, 2009 (Ref: 13931)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, undergoes high basal melt rates near the southern … limit of its grounding line where 80% of the ice melts within 240km of becoming afloat. A considerable … portion of this later refreezes downstream as marine ice.

A method for sub-pixel scale feature-tracking using Radarsat images applied to the Mertz Glacier Tongue, East Antarctica Remote Sensing of Environment, 2009 (Ref: 14061)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Tracking features between pairs of satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images using image crosscorrelation … methods is a powerful tool for defining regions of image movement such as ice flow of Antarctic … glaciers. Unlike optical images…

Ice sheet mass balance and sea level Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13839)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Determining the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets (GIS and AIS) has long … been a major challenge for polar science. But until recent advances in measurement technology…
