An episode of anomalous enhance ozone concentration in the mid-stratosphere above … Davis, Antarctica (68.6S, 78.0E) during October 2005 has been linked to a filament of … tropical ozone-rich air that was forced to high latitudes by a disturbance to the … circulation of the polar vortex.
A summary of stratospheric measurements above Davis, Antarctica (68.6°S, 78.0°E) for the winter and spring of 2005 is presented. A rapid warming was observed in the … lower stratosphere during the third week of August.
Growth trends of Antarctic krill with sex, length, season, and region as independent variables … were modelled with a linear mixed model (LMM) using … 10 yr of accumulated instantaneous growth rate (IGR) measurements. A model of inter-moult period (IMP) as … a function of temperature…
Von Bertalanffy (VB) growth models for … Antarctic krill have been calibrated from populationlevel … data consisting of modal lengths obtained from … a time sequence of length frequency samples. We … developed an alternative approach to predicting the … trajectory of length over time…
Nearly 36,000 vertical temperature profiles collected by 15 king penguins are used to map oceanographic fronts south of … New Zealand. There is good correspondence between Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC)…
Antarctic macroalgae survive extended periods of darkness followed by rapid and extreme increases in irradiance when sea-ice … breaks out in summer. Algae from dark, ice-covered locations had low values of saturating irradiance (Ek: 4–19 mmol photons … m2 s1)…
Long-term studies at Bird Island, South … Georgia, show that numbers of wandering, black-browed … and grey-headed albatrosses have been decreasing … since the late 1970s. To determine the status of the total … South Georgia population…
Industrial longline fisheries are considered worldwide as the main threat to albatross and … petrel populations, particularly at open oceans. However, inside countries’ EEZ artisanal … fleets account for a significant fishing effort and eventually…
Measuring the geo-electric field becomes important in understanding the global electric circuit and how it is affected by other phenomena. It is also useful in assessing how the global electric circuit variations can affect climate.
ABSTRACT: Foraging movements of Adélie penguins are constrained both by environmental conditions … (e.g. sea ice cover) and life history factors (e.g. regular offspring provisioning). We describe … within season changes in foraging range…
We use a revised set of seafloor spreading isochrons and updated plate tectonic reconstructions to produce palaeo-age and … basement depth grids for the Southern Ocean. The palaeo-depth maps illustrate the evolution of the ocean basins (widening and … deepening)…
(DMSP) in a variety of sea ice and seawater habitats in the Antarctic Sea Ice Zone (ASIZ) during spring and summer. Sixty-two sea ice cores of pack and fast ice were collected from twenty-seven sites across an area of the eastern ASIZ (648E to 1108E; and the Antarctic coastline north to 628S).
