2. Mesosphere and lower thermosphere winds and tidal variations during the 2019 Antarctic Sudden Stratospheric Warming

   Realistic modeling of the winds and dynamical variations in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) at Southern Hemisphere (SH) mid-to-high latitudes near 60oS where dramatic motions occur has been a […]

3. Using metabarcoding to assess Viridiplantae sequence diversity present in Antarctic glacial ice

   Antarctica contains most of the glacial ice on the planet, a habitat that is largely unexplored by biologists. Recent warming in parts of Antarctica, particularly the Antarctic Peninsula region, is […]

4. Modelling the exposure of satellites in medium Earth orbit to proton belt radiation

   Geomagnetically trapped protons forming Earth’s proton radiation belt pose a hazard to orbiting spacecraft. In particular, solar cells are prone to degradation caused by non-ionising collisions with protons in the […]

5. The vertical structure and entrainment of subglacial melt water plumes

   Basal melting of marine-terminating glaciers, through its impact on the forces that control the flow of the glaciers, is one of the major factors determining sea level rise in a […]

6. Sea ice concentration impacts dissolved organic gases in the Canadian Arctic

   The marginal sea ice zone has been identified as a source of different climate-active gases to the atmosphere due to its unique biogeochemistry. However, it remains highly undersampled, and the […]

7. Sensitivity of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to +2 °C (SWAIS 2C)

   The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) presently holds enough ice to raise global sea level by 4.3 m if completely melted. The unknown response of the WAIS to future warming remains […]

8. Ducted chorus waves cause sub‐relativistic and relativistic electron microbursts

   During magnetospheric storms, radiation belt electrons are produced and then removed by collisions with the lower atmosphere on varying timescales. An efficient loss process is microbursts, strong, transient precipitation of […]

9. Simulated twentieth-century ocean warming in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica

   Rapid ice loss is occurring in the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This ice loss is assumed to be a long-term response to oceanographic forcing, but […]

10. Physiological and metabolic characteristics of polar diatoms: insights into cold adaptation and potential biotechnology

    The polar regions represent two of the most extreme environments on Earth, with sub-zero temperatures, sustained light in the summer and complete darkness in the winter. Marine diatoms are prevalent […]

11. WMO evaluation of two extreme high temperatures occurring in February 2020 for the Antarctic Peninsula region

    Two reports of Antarctic region potential new record high temperature observations (18.3 degrees C, 6 February 2020 at Esperanza station and 20.8 degrees C, 9 February 2020 at a Brazilian […]

12. Double diffusion as a driver of turbulence in the stratified boundary layer beneath George VI Ice Shelf

    Warmer and more persistent intrusions of Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the West Antarctic Peninsula are a key driver of the recent increase in ice shelf mass loss. The relatively […]
