Recent accumulation variability and change on the Antarctic Peninsula from the ERA40 reanalysis
Read more of: Recent accumulation variability and change on the Antarctic Peninsula from the ERA40 reanalysisThe Antarctic Peninsula has displayed significant climate change over recent decades. Understanding contemporaneous changes in accumulation is made difficult because the region’s complex orography means that ice-core data are not […]

A survey of Galileo plasma wave instrument observations of Jovian whistler-mode chorus
Read more of: A survey of Galileo plasma wave instrument observations of Jovian whistler-mode chorusA survey of plasma wave observations at Jupiter obtained by the plasma wave instrument on board the Galileo spacecraft is presented. The observations indicate that chorus emissions are observed commonly […]

West Antarctic Peninsula sea ice in 2005: extreme ice compaction and ice edge retreat due to strong anomaly with respect to climate
Read more of: West Antarctic Peninsula sea ice in 2005: extreme ice compaction and ice edge retreat due to strong anomaly with respect to climateIn September-October 2005, the juxtaposition of low-and high-pressure anomalies at 130 degrees W and 60 degrees W, respectively, created strong and persistent northerly airflow across the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). […]

Ocean biogeochemical response to phytoplankton-light feedback in a global model
Read more of: Ocean biogeochemical response to phytoplankton-light feedback in a global modelOceanic phytoplankton, absorbing solar radiation, can influence the bio-optical properties of seawater and hence upper ocean physics. We include this process in a global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) coupled […]

Antarctic sea ice thickness and snow-to-ice conversion from atmospheric reanalysis and passive microwave snow depth
Read more of: Antarctic sea ice thickness and snow-to-ice conversion from atmospheric reanalysis and passive microwave snow depthPassive microwave snow depth, ice concentration, and ice motion estimates are combined with snowfall from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) reanalysis (ERA-40) from 1979-2001 to estimate the […]

“Sunshade World”: a fully coupled GCM evaluation of the climatic impacts of geoengineering
Read more of: “Sunshade World”: a fully coupled GCM evaluation of the climatic impacts of geoengineeringSunshade geoengineering – the installation of reflective mirrors between the Earth and the Sun to reduce incoming solar radiation, has been proposed as a mitigative measure to counteract anthropogenic global […]

Closure of the Panama Seaway during the Pliocene: implications for climate and Northern Hemisphere glaciation
Read more of: Closure of the Panama Seaway during the Pliocene: implications for climate and Northern Hemisphere glaciationThe “Panama Hypothesis” states that the gradual closure of the Panama Seaway, between 13 million years ago (13 Ma) and 2.6 Ma, led to decreased mixing of Atlantic and Pacific […]

Antarctic Peninsula mesoscale cyclone variability and climatic impacts influenced by the SAM
Read more of: Antarctic Peninsula mesoscale cyclone variability and climatic impacts influenced by the SAMThe frequency of mesoscale cyclones in the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region during 1991-94 is correlated with the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode (SAM) index, most strongly during winter and spring.

Biodiversity of echinoids and their epibionts around the Scotia Arc, Antarctica
Read more of: Biodiversity of echinoids and their epibionts around the Scotia Arc, AntarcticaThe Scotia Are, linking the Magellan region with the Antarctic Peninsula, comprises young and old islands both near continents and isolated, and is the only semi-continuous link between cool temperate […]
