Ice shelves affect the stability of ice sheets by supporting the mass balance of ice upstream of the grounding line. Marine ice, formed from supercooled water freezing at the base of ice shelves, contributes to mass gain and affects ice dynamics.
Sea-ice surface temperature from atmospheric reanalysis has been used as an indicator of ice melt and climate change. However, its performance in atmospheric reanalyses is not fully understood in Antarctica. Here, we quantified biases in six widely-used reanalyses using satellite observations…
The dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet are key factors affecting global climate change. To project future sea level changes, ice sheet models are developed based on a discrete grid system, which profoundly impacts the accuracy of numerical simulations.
We use Multi-Sensor Reanalysis and ground-based total ozone content (TOC) data to study total ozone variations in Antarctica near the dates of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW). Three events were analyzed, including the warmings in 1988, 2002 (major warming), and 2019.
Estimates of the distribution and density of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana, 1850) were derived from a large-scale survey conducted during the austral summer in the Southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and across the Scotia Sea in 2018–19, the ‘2018–19 Area 48 Survey’.
The 2012 ozone hole was one of the smallest since the late 1980fs due to a warmer than normal mid]lower … stratosphere over the Antarctic region this year. The development and recovery of the 2012 ozone hole will … be shown via a set of metrics based on the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)…
In January 2005, members of a Chinese expedition team … were the first humans to visit Dome A on the Antarctic plateau, a site … predicted to be one of the very best astronomical sites on earth. In 2006, the Chinese Center for Antarctic Astronomy (CCAA)…
PLATO is a fully-robotic observatory designed for operation … in Antarctica. It generates its own electricity (about 1kW), heat … (sufficient to keep two 10-foot shipping containers comfortably above … 0◦C when the outside temperature is at −70◦C)…
