Human-caused climate change worsens with every increment of additional warming, although some impacts can develop abruptly. The potential for abrupt changes is far less understood in the Antarctic compared with the Arctic, but evidence is emerging for rapid…
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is integral to Earth's climate system, influencing global energy and water cycles, and ecosystems. Enough ice is stored in regions most vulnerable to rapid retreat to cause sea levels to rise by ?15?m if they completely melted, making their stability a key concern.
Among large cetaceans in the Southern Hemisphere, fin whales were the most heavily exploited in terms of numbers taken during the period of intense industrial whaling. Recent studies suggest that…

Stratosphere-to-troposphere transport (STT) provides an important … natural source of ozone to the upper troposphere, but the characteristics of … STT events in the Southern Hemisphere extratropics and their contribution to … the regional tropospheric ozone budget remain poorly constrained. Here…
Missing gravity wave drag near 60 degrees south has been proposed as the cause of the common cold bias in modelled southern polar stratospheric temperatures [McLandress et al. 2012]. Potential gravity wave momentum sources around those latitudes, such as jets…
Prior to the satellite era, ice core records have been used as a proxy for past sea-ice extent in Antarctica. This information is important for investigating long-term trends in sea-ice coverage.
This study aims to assess the ability of climate models to reproduce observed stratosphere-troposphere coupling. Coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere is examined via the Southern and Northern Annular Modes (SAM and NAM). These modes…
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)…
Antarctic krill (hereafter krill) is the key species of the Antarctic marine ecosystem as well as a target of commercial fishery in the Southern Ocean, which compels careful predictions about potential impacts of Ocean Acidification (OA)…

Shallow-water benthic communities throughout coastal Antarctica share many species and are governed by similar physico-oceanographic processes.
During simultaneous high-altitude balloon flights from College, Alaska, and Macquarie Island, Australia, on March 5, 1962, substantial fluxes of auroral zone X rays were observed in both hemispheres during magnetic bay activity.
Climatological monthly upper-ocean temperature anomalies from the annual mean in the subtropical southwest … Pacific Ocean show a characteristic out-of-phase relationship between the mixed layer and the underlying water.
Arctic ecosystems and global climate are closely related. This paper studies the distributions and the coupling relationship between Chlorophyll a (Chl a) and aerosol optical thickness (AOD) in Greenland Sea (10 degrees W - 10 degrees E, 70 degrees N - 85 degrees N)…
The Dome Summit South ice core from Law Dome, East Antarctica is 1200 m long and reveals an unusually high accumulation rate for Late Holocene precipitation (640 kg m2/a), dating to 90,000 years before present (BP) at its base.
1. The likelihood that seabirds will be hooked and drowned in longline fisheries increases when baited hooks sink slowly. Fishermen target different fishing depths by setting the mainline through a line shooter, which controls the tension (or slackness) in the line.
The total ozone column (TOC) in the 'collar' region outside the Antarctic Ozone Hole exhibits a pronounced wave-1 zonal pattern in austral spring. During the period 1979-2005, the zonal minimum of the pattern exhibited a general eastward shift of approximately 45 degrees of longitude…
OH-equivalent temperatures derived from measurements made by the SABER instrument on board the TIMED satellite and the MLS instrument on board the Aura satellite are compared with rotational temperatures derived from OH(6-2)…
Oceanographic measurements were conducted along WOCE Southern Ocean meridional section SR3 between Tasmania and Antarctica, and along the part of WOCE Southern Ocean zonal section S4 lying between approximately 110 and 162 degrees E, from December 1994 to February 1995.
