Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is derived from dense water that sinks from the Antarctic continental shelf to the deep ocean. The sinking of AABW is balanced by a return flow of lighter water, and the resulting overturning circulation determines the density stratification of the deep ocean…
Newly formed sea ice can incorporate considerable amounts of organic matter including phytoplankton during its freezing and growth. This initial incorporation influences the standing stocks of ice algae, a fundamental component of high-latitude marine ecosystems.
The Totten Glacier in East Antarctica, with an ice volume equivalent to >3.5?m of global sea-level rise, is grounded below sea level and, therefore, vulnerable to ocean forcing. Here…
Ocean–cryosphere interactions along the Adélie and George V Land (AGVL) coast are investigated using a coupled ocean–sea ice–ice shelf model. The dominant feature of the Mertz Glacier Tongue (MGT), located at approximately 145°E, was a highly productive winter coastal polynya system…
Interdecadal water mass changes in the Indian -Western … Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean were investigated … using the Japanese Antarctic Research Expeditions and … historical hydrographic observations from the 1950s to … 1990s.
The spatial and temporal characteristics of cyclonic eddies in the Antarctic … Divergence off Ade´lie Coast are described using repeated in situ observations between … 2001 and 2003, satellite observations, and results of a high-resolution ocean general … circulation model.
We describe the circulation and seasonal development of the upper ocean … in the Seasonal Ice Zone (SIZ) of the Southern Ocean along 140°E. The 140°E section … was repeated four times between November 2001 and March 2002, spanning the period … from early spring to autumn.
Repeat summer hydrographic observations along … 140E are used to document significant changes in the … properties of the Ade´lie Land Bottom Water (ALBW) between the mid-1990s and 2002–2003. Water on the 28.35 … kgm3 neutral density surface cooled by 0.2C and … freshened by 0.
A second East Antarctic Baseline Regional Oceanography Krill and Environment survey, termed BROKE-West, was conducted January 10th – February 25th 2006 and covered … CCAMLR Area 58.4.2 west of the Princess Elizabeth Trough in the Weddell-Enderby Basin.
Eddy-like distributions of chlorophyll a were clearly … detected in the Antarctic Divergence zone around 140E … by SeaWiFS ocean color images. The distribution was also … supported by in-situ measurements.
