Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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.

Ozone and temperature above Davis, Antarctica, during the austral winter and spring of 2005. BMRC Research Letters, 2006 (Ref: 12373)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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.

Modelling growth of Antarctic krill. I. Growth trends with sex, length, season, and region. Marine Ecology Grogress Series, 2006 (Ref: 12274)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

Modelling growth of Antarctic krill. II. Novel approach to describing the growth trajectory. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2006 (Ref: 12275)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

Tracking the polar front south of New Zealand using penguin dive data. Deep-Sea Research I, 2006 (Ref: 12334)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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)…

Photosynthesis of marine macroalgae in ice-covered and ice-free environments in East Antarctica. European Journal of Phycology, 2006 (Ref: 12332)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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)…

Status and distribution of wandering, black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses breeding at South Georgia. Polar Biology, 2006 (Ref: 12294)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

Artisanal longline fisheries in Southern Chile: Lessons to be learned to avoid incidental seabird mortality. Biology Conservation, 2006 (Ref: 12305)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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 in the Antarctic. Geophysical Research Abstracts, European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2006, Vienna, Austria, 2-7 April 2006, 2006 (Ref: 12292)
Category 3: Abstract

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.

Environmental conditions and life history constraints determine foraging range in breeding Adélie penguins. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2006 (Ref: 12296)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

Circum-Antarctic palaeobathymetry: Illustrated examples from Cenozoic to recent times. Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2006 (Ref: 12291)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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)…

Dimethysulphide and dimethylsulphoniopropionate in Antarctic sea ice and their release during sea ice melting. Marine Chemistry, 2006 (Ref: 12252)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

(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).
