Sprite observations in the Northern Territory of Australia
Read more of: Sprite observations in the Northern Territory of AustraliaSprites, a form of brief luminous discharge in the upper atmosphere above a thunderstorm, were observed and imaged on two video cameras in Australia’s Northern Territory. These were the first […]

A search for ENSO teleconnections in the west Antarctic Peninsula climate in austral winter
Read more of: A search for ENSO teleconnections in the west Antarctic Peninsula climate in austral winterEvidence is sought for El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnections in the South Pacific extratropical atmospheric circulation and in seasonal temperatures in the west Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) during austral winter. Emphasis […]

Multi-decadal glacier surface lowering in the Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Multi-decadal glacier surface lowering in the Antarctic PeninsulaFrom approximately 400 glaciers of the western Antarctic Peninsula, no in situ records of mass balance exist and their recent contribution to sea level is consequently poorly constrained. We seek […]

Iceberg Scour and Shell Damage in the Antarctic Bivalve Laternula elliptica
Read more of: Iceberg Scour and Shell Damage in the Antarctic Bivalve Laternula ellipticaWe document differences in shell damage and shell thickness in a bivalve mollusc (Laternula elliptica) from seven sites around Antarctica with differing exposures to ice movement. These range from 60% […]

Incorrect likelihood methods were used to infer scaling laws of marine predator search behaviour
Read more of: Incorrect likelihood methods were used to infer scaling laws of marine predator search behaviourBackground: Ecologists are collecting extensive data concerning movements of animals in marine ecosystems. Such data need to be analysed with valid statistical methods to yield meaningful conclusions. Principal Findings: We […]

Foraging ranges, diets and feeding locations of gannets Morus bassanus in the North Sea:evidence from satellite telemetry
Read more of: Foraging ranges, diets and feeding locations of gannets Morus bassanus in the North Sea:evidence from satellite telemetryWe used satellite telemetry to examine the foraging ranges, feeding locations and travel speeds of 17 chick-rearing gannets Morus bassanus from the Bass Rock, SE Scotland. Regurgitates indicated that birds […]

Particle Acceleration in the Presence of Weak Turbulence at an X-Type Neutral Point
Read more of: Particle Acceleration in the Presence of Weak Turbulence at an X-Type Neutral PointWe simulate the likely noisy situation near a reconnection region by superposing many 2D linear reconnection eigenmodes. The superposition of modes on the steady state X-type magnetic field creates multiple […]

The reliability of Antarctic tropospheric pressure and temperature in the latest global reanalyses
Read more of: The reliability of Antarctic tropospheric pressure and temperature in the latest global reanalysesIn this study, surface and radiosonde data from staffed Antarctic observation stations are compared to output from five reanalyses [Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40), ECMWF Interim […]

Field comparison of an LHPR net sampling system and an Optical Plankton Counter (OPC) in the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Field comparison of an LHPR net sampling system and an Optical Plankton Counter (OPC) in the Southern OceanA field comparison of an optical plankton counter (OPC) and a Longhurst-Hardy Plankton Recorder (LHPR) was undertaken around the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia during austral spring, 1997, to investigate […]
