Southern Ocean Islands Invaded: Conserving biodiversity in the World’s last wilderness. Plant Invasions in Protected Areas; Patterns, Problems and Challenges, 2013 (Ref: 15145)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Southern Ocean islands are some of the most isolated landmasses in the world. Few of the islands support permanent human settlements or land based industries and as such they remain as some of the most uninvaded landscapes globally.

Ground-based observations of Antarctic clouds using a Rayleigh LiDAR at Davis (69S, 78E). Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly 2013, Davos, Switzerland, 8-12 July 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15129)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

A Rayleigh lidar at Davis, Antarctica (69S, 78E) has made intermittent observations of clouds for the last few years. Radiosondes and a co-located wind-profiling radar provide additional data with which to characterise the clouds and the environment in which they exist.

Quantifying the role of orographic gravity waves in influencing polar stratospheric cloud occurrence. Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly 2013, Davos, Switzerland, 8-12 July 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15130)
Category 3: Poster

Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC) composition class information is extracted from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) curtains for four Antarctic PSC seasons (2007 - 2010) and four Arctic PSC seasons (2006/07 - 2009/10). Orographic gravity wave (OGW)…

Observing the Small Scale Structure of Clouds and Dynamics in the Antarctic Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere (UTLS). Asia Oceania Geosciences Society 10th Annual Meeting, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 24-28 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15133)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) is a highly coupled region of the atmosphere where radiation, dynamics, clouds and chemical processes interact on a wide variety of spatial and temporal scales. We use a suite of instruments at Davis, Antarctica (69S, 78E)…

The 2013 Antarctic ozone hole. Atmospheric Composition and Chemistry Observations and Modelling Conference incorporating the Cape Grim Annual Science Meeting, Aspendale, Victoria, Australia 27-29 November 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15135)
Category 3: Conference paper

The 2013 ozone hole was relatively small, with about 15-17 ozone holes out of the last 20 (1994-2013) having been bigger/deeper (depending on the metric used), and only 2-4 having been smaller (2002, 2004, 2010, 2012).

Atmospheric chemistry measurements over the East Antarctic during the SIPEX II cruise in polar spring 2012. Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly 2013, Davos, Switzerland, 8-12 July 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15128)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Bromine explosion events that occur over first year sea ice in the polar spring cause mercury deposition and dramatically alter the oxidative capacity of the polar boundary layer. Atmospheric chemical measurements made during the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystems eXperiment (SIPEX II)…

Tropical tropopause layer processes driving stratospheric composition - focus on polar ozone relevant species. XXXII SCAR and Open Science Conference, Portland, Oregon, USA, 13-25 July 2012, 2013 (Ref: 15104)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The composition of the stratosphere is driven by transport, temperatures and processes in the tropical tropopause layer – this has implications for ozone, radiation, and surface climate. The properties of the tropical tropopause layer have changed in recent decades, e.g.

Backward movement of ozone minimum position as a possible consequence of ozone recovery over Antarctica. American Geophysical Union 2013 Fall Meeting, San Francisco USA, 9-12 December 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15136)
Category 3: Poster

The ozone hole over Antarctica is formed inside polar stratospheric vortex, which is under influence of large-scale planetary waves. The Quasi-stationary wave (QSW) in the spring Southern Hemisphere (SH)…

The Australian Contribution to CCMI Part II: Model evaluation using Southern Hemispheric ozone observations. Chemistry-Climate Model Initiative Workshop 2013, Boulder, Colorado, USA, 14-16 May 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15134)
Category 3: Poster

Results from the chemistry—atmosphere—climate model version of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) are presented. ACCESS is based on the UK Met Office Unified Model version 7.3 (UM 7.3) including the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosols (UKCA) module.

Influences of circulation changes on the distribution of Antarctic stratospheric ozone. Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly 2013, Davos, Switzerland, 8-12 July 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15132)
Category 3: Poster

The cause of seasonal trends in the zonal asymmetry of the total ozone column (TOC) at high southern latitudes are examined. Using ERA-Interim assimilated meteorological data, we examine characteristics of extra-tropical Rossby waves…

Improving gravity wave drag parameterization in climate models. Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly 2013, Davos, Switzerland, 8-12 July 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15131)
Category 3: Poster

Links between changes in the southern polar stratosphere and tropospheric climate have been identified in both modelling and observational studies, highlighting the importance of an accurate stratosphere in climate models. However…

Ozone loss rates from Concordiasi Balloon experiment comparison with recommended kinetics. World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Special Workshop: Climatic Effects of Ozone Depletion in the Southern Hemisphere, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 25 February - 1 March 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15103)
Category 3: Poster

The ozone loss simulated with climate models is based on laboratory kinetic data. These laboratory data are difficult to conduct at stratospheric pressures and temperatures and there is substantial uncertainty surrounding these parameters.
