Does Strong Tropospheric Forcing Cause Large-Amplitude Mesospheric Gravity Waves? A DEEPWAVE Case Study
Read more of: Does Strong Tropospheric Forcing Cause Large-Amplitude Mesospheric Gravity Waves? A DEEPWAVE Case StudyOn 4 July 2014, during the Deep Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DEEPWAVE), strong low-level horizontal winds of up to 35 m s−1 over the Southern Alps, New Zealand, caused the […]

BedMachine v3: Complete Bed Topography and Ocean Bathymetry Mapping of Greenland From Multibeam Echo Sounding Combined With Mass Conservation
Read more of: BedMachine v3: Complete Bed Topography and Ocean Bathymetry Mapping of Greenland From Multibeam Echo Sounding Combined With Mass ConservationGreenland’s bed topography is a primary control on ice flow, grounding line migration, calving dynamics, and subglacial drainage. Moreover, fjord bathymetry regulates the penetration of warm Atlantic water (AW) that […]

Cyclone-induced surface ozone and HDO depletion in the Arctic
Read more of: Cyclone-induced surface ozone and HDO depletion in the ArcticGround-based, satellite, and reanalysis datasets were used to identify two similar cyclone-induced surface ozone depletion events at Eureka, Canada (80.1° N, 86.4° W), in March 2007 and April 2011. These two events […]

Oceanic swarms of Antarctic krill perform satiation sinking
Read more of: Oceanic swarms of Antarctic krill perform satiation sinkingAntarctic krill form some of the highest concentrations of animal biomass observed in the world’s oceans potentially due to their prolific ability to swarm. Determining the movement of Antarctic krill […]

The far reach of ice-shelf thinning in Antarctica
Read more of: The far reach of ice-shelf thinning in AntarcticaFloating ice shelves, which fringe most of Antarctica’s coastline, regulate ice flow into the Southern Ocean1,2,3. Their thinning4,5,6,7 or disintegration8,9 can cause upstream acceleration of grounded ice and raise global […]

Contribution of deformation to sea-ice mass balance: a case study from an N-ICE2015 storm
Read more of: Contribution of deformation to sea-ice mass balance: a case study from an N-ICE2015 stormThe fastest and most efficient process of gaining sea ice volume is through the mechanical redistribution of mass as a consequence of deformation events. During the ice growth season divergent […]

Left in the cold? Evolutionary origin of Laternula elliptica a keystone bivalve species of Antarctic benthos
Read more of: Left in the cold? Evolutionary origin of Laternula elliptica a keystone bivalve species of Antarctic benthosThe large, burrowing bivalve Laternula elliptica is an abundant component of shallow-water soft-substrate communities around Antarctica but its congeners are temperate and tropical in distribution and their phylogenetic relationships are […]

Navigating weather, water, ice and climate change information for safe polar mobilities
Read more of: Navigating weather, water, ice and climate change information for safe polar mobilitiesThe Polar Prediction Project (PPP) was conceived and initiated in 2012 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), through its World Weather Research Programme (WWRP), in response to rapid environmental change […]

Seasonality of oxygen consumption in five common Antarctic benthic marine invertebrates
Read more of: Seasonality of oxygen consumption in five common Antarctic benthic marine invertebratesThe waters of the Southern Ocean exhibit extreme seasonality in primary production, with marine life living below 0 °C for much of the year. The metabolic cold adaptation (MCA) hypothesis […]

Modelling present-day basal melt rates for Antarctic ice shelves using a parametrization of buoyant meltwater plumes
Read more of: Modelling present-day basal melt rates for Antarctic ice shelves using a parametrization of buoyant meltwater plumesBasal melting below ice shelves is a major factor in mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which can contribute significantly to possible future sea-level rise. Therefore, it is important […]

Determination of Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in seawater using offline extraction and triple quadrupole ICP-MS/MS
Read more of: Determination of Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in seawater using offline extraction and triple quadrupole ICP-MS/MSHighly resolved temporal and spatial distributions of trace elements in ocean water can provide insight into ocean processes but carry a significant analytical demand which requires methods that combine accuracy […]
