Background: Sooty (Puffinus griseus) and short-tailed (P. tenuirostris) shearwaters are abundant seabirds that range widely across global oceans. Understanding the foraging ecology of these species in the Southern Ocean is important for … monitoring and ecosystem conservation and management.
An extraordinary sea ice tongue developed near 85E over a period of 30 days in … April–May 2002. The ice tongue extended to the north more than 800 km from the … surrounding ice edge and covered an area greater than 200,000 km2.
We reexamine the relationship between circulation, bathymetry, and surface … chlorophyll in the Southern Ocean, using new high-resolution maps of the frontal structure … of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) derived from satellite altimetry.
Vertical temperature profiles collected by king penguins and elephant seals are used to map … oceanographic fronts south of Australia and New Zealand. Independently, the Southern … Ocean front locations are derived using satellite synoptic maps of sea surface height (SSH).
Regionalisation algorithms attempt to partition a broad spatial area into discrete spatial regions, each with relatively homogeneous environmental or biotic conditions. Marine regionalisations commonly make use of data that can be represented naturally in a network context…
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)…
Repeat hydrographic sections across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) in Drake Passage are used to derive an empirical relationship between upper ocean … temperature and the baroclinic transport stream function.
A 7 year time series of austral summer expendable bathythermograph (XBT) sections between Tasmania and Antarctica is used to describe the subsurface structure of Southern Ocean interannual temperature anomalies. Comparison of the discontinuous XBT record with a continuous (weekly average)…
