Ocean processes at the Antarctic continental slope
Read more of: Ocean processes at the Antarctic continental slopeThe Antarctic continental shelves and slopes occupy relatively small areas, but, nevertheless, are important for global climate, biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning. Processes of water mass transformation through sea ice […]

Freshwater fluxes in the Weddell Gyre: results from δ18O
Read more of: Freshwater fluxes in the Weddell Gyre: results from δ18OFull-depth measurements of δ18O from 2008 to 2010 enclosing the Weddell Gyre in the Southern Ocean are used to investigate the regional freshwater budget. Using complementary salinity, nutrients and oxygen […]

Dense waters of the Weddell and Scotia Seas: recent changes in properties and circulation
Read more of: Dense waters of the Weddell and Scotia Seas: recent changes in properties and circulationThe densest waters in the Atlantic overturning circulation are sourced at the periphery of Antarctica, especially the Weddell Sea, and flow northward via routes that involve crossing the complex bathymetry […]

Is realistic Antarctic sea ice extent in climate models the result of excessive ice drift?
Read more of: Is realistic Antarctic sea ice extent in climate models the result of excessive ice drift?For the first time, we compute the sea-ice concentration budget of a fully coupled climate model, the Australian ACCESS model, in order to assess its realism in simulating the autumn–winter […]

The Southern Ocean in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5
Read more of: The Southern Ocean in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5The Southern Ocean is an important part of the global climate system, but its complex coupled nature makes both its present state and its response to projected future climate forcing […]

Preliminary description of tardigrade species diversity and distribution pattern around coastal Syowa Station and inland Sør Rondane Mountains, Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica.
Read more of: Preliminary description of tardigrade species diversity and distribution pattern around coastal Syowa Station and inland Sør Rondane Mountains, Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica.Tardigrades are important members of the simple terrestrial ecosystems in the extreme environments in Antarctica. This study provides a baseline description of tardigrade species diversity and distribution pattern within the […]

Inclusion of mountain wave-induced cooling for the formation of PSCs over the Antarctic Peninsula in a chemistry-climate model
Read more of: Inclusion of mountain wave-induced cooling for the formation of PSCs over the Antarctic Peninsula in a chemistry-climate modelAn important source of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), which play a crucial role in controlling polar stratospheric ozone depletion, is from the temperature fluctuations induced by mountain waves. However, this […]

Marine ice regulates the future stability of a large Antarctic ice shelf
Read more of: Marine ice regulates the future stability of a large Antarctic ice shelfThe collapses of the Larsen A and B ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula in 1995 and 2002 confirm the impact of southward-propagating climate warming in this region. Recent mass […]

Foraging behaviour and habitat use by brown skuas Stercorarius lonnbergi breeding at South Georgia
Read more of: Foraging behaviour and habitat use by brown skuas Stercorarius lonnbergi breeding at South GeorgiaTop predators are critical to ecosystem function, exerting a stabilising effect on the food web. Brown skuas are opportunistic predators and scavengers. Although skuas are often the dominant land-based predator […]
