From atmosphere to space: a new scientific frontier
Progress in the science of weather – on Earth and in space – depends on understanding the whole of the atmosphere, from the surface of the Earth into space. Tracy […]

Biotic interactions as a structuring force in soil communities: evidence from the micro-arthropods of an Antarctic moss model system
Read more of: Biotic interactions as a structuring force in soil communities: evidence from the micro-arthropods of an Antarctic moss model systemCurrent meta-community theories postulate that the structure of local communities depends on dispersal, environmental filtering, and biotic interactions. However, disentangling the relative effects of these factors in the field and […]

The Amundsen Sea low
Read more of: The Amundsen Sea lowWe develop a climatology of the Amundsen Sea low (ASL) covering the period 1979–2008 using ECMWF operational and reanalysis fields. The depth of the ASL is strongly influenced by the […]

Hypoxia impacts large adults first: consequences in a warming world
Read more of: Hypoxia impacts large adults first: consequences in a warming worldFuture oceans are predicted to contain less oxygen than at present. This is because oxygen is less soluble in warmer water and predicted stratification will reduce mixing. Hypoxia in marine […]

Predictive ethoinformatics reveals the complex migratory behaviour of a pelagic seabird, the Manx Shearwater
Read more of: Predictive ethoinformatics reveals the complex migratory behaviour of a pelagic seabird, the Manx ShearwaterUnderstanding the behaviour of animals in the wild is fundamental to conservation efforts. Advances in bio-logging technologies have offered insights into the behaviour of animals during foraging, migration and social […]

Impact of atmospheric forcing on Antarctic continental shelf water masses
Read more of: Impact of atmospheric forcing on Antarctic continental shelf water massesThe Antarctic continental shelf seas feature a bimodal distribution of water mass temperature, with the Amundsen and Bellingshausen Seas flooded by Circumpolar Deep Water that is several degrees Celsius warmer […]

Movements and activities of male black-tailed gulls in breeding and sabbatical years
Read more of: Movements and activities of male black-tailed gulls in breeding and sabbatical yearsLong-lived animals sometimes skip one or more breeding seasons; however, little is known about their movements and activities during such ‘sabbatical’ periods. Here we present novel data on year-round movements […]

Recent oceanic changes in the Arctic in the context of long-term observations
Read more of: Recent oceanic changes in the Arctic in the context of long-term observationsThis synthesis study assesses recent changes of Arctic Ocean physical parameters using a unique collection of observations from the 2000s and places them in the context of long-term climate trends […]

Antarctic crabs: invasion or endurance?
Read more of: Antarctic crabs: invasion or endurance?Recent scientific interest following the “discovery” of lithodid crabs around Antarctica has centred on a hypothesis that these crabs might be poised to invade the Antarctic shelf if the recent […]

Solar wind dynamic pressure effect on planetary wave propagation and synoptic-scale Rossby Wave Breaking
Read more of: Solar wind dynamic pressure effect on planetary wave propagation and synoptic-scale Rossby Wave BreakingWe provide statistical evidence of the effect of the solar wind dynamic pressure (Psw) on the northern winter and spring circulations. We find that the vertical structure of the Northern […]
