2. High resolution observations of Weddell Sea surface currents using ERS-l SAR sea-ice motion vectors

   Abstract Two areas of the Weddell Sea, one in the south and one in the west, were chosen for a preliminary investigation of sea-ice motion tracking from ERSt Synthetic Aperture […]

3. An evaluation of a self-calibrating infrared radiometer for measuring sea surface temperature

   Satellite radiometer measurements of global sea surface temperature (SST) with an accuracy of 0.3 K are required for climate change monitoring. In order to validate that this accuracy can be […]

4. Validation of Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperatures measured by the ERS-1Along Track Scanning Radiometer

   During the period from October 1991 to May 1992 the royal research ship Bransfield made its annual voyage from the United Kingdom to Antarctica and back. Whenever the measurement swath […]

5. Distribution patterns of macrozooplankton assemblages in the southwest Atlantic

   A zooplankton net sampling survey was conducted in the southwest Atlantic between 34* and 55* S during austral spring 1990. The survey grid covered shelf, slope and oceanic regions and […]

6. Climatic severity and the response to temperature elevation of Arctic aphids

   1  Theory suggests that any given rise in temperature resulting from climate change will have its greatest effect on high Arctic ecosystems where growing seasons are short and temperatures low. […]

7. The role of mantle plumes in continental breakup: case histories from Gondwanaland

   After thirty years of plate-tectonic theory, the reasons why supercontinents disintegrate and disperse to form smaller continental plates remain enigmatic. Possible causes range from abnormally hot mantle upwellings, or plumes, […]

10. Colonization by lichens and the development of lichen-dominated communities in the maritime Antarctic

    Three long-term studies of lichen growth and colonization have been undertaken at Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, in the maritime Antarctic. Small individual thalli of several crustose species and uncolonized […]

12. Petrogenesis of boninites in the Ordovician Ballantrae Complex ophiolite, southwestern Scotland

    Primitive lava and hyaloclastite with unusual, highly refractory compositions, form part of the Early Ordovician Balcreuchan Group within the ophiolitic Ballantrae Complex, southwestern Scotland. They are identified as likely high-Ca […]
