Validity of the Ice Shelf Water plume concept under Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf
Read more of: Validity of the Ice Shelf Water plume concept under Filchner-Ronne Ice ShelfIn winter, brine rejection from sea ice formation and export in the Weddell Sea, offshore of Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS), leads to the formation of High Salinity Shelf Water (HSSW). […]

800,000 years of abrupt climate variability
Read more of: 800,000 years of abrupt climate variabilityWe constructed an 800,000-year synthetic record of Greenland climate variability based on the thermal bipolar seesaw model. Our Greenland analog reproduces much of the variability seen in the Greenland ice […]

Provenance changes between recent and glacial-time sediments in the Amundsen Sea embayment, West Antarctica: clay mineral assemblage evidence
Read more of: Provenance changes between recent and glacial-time sediments in the Amundsen Sea embayment, West Antarctica: clay mineral assemblage evidenceThe Amundsen Sea embayment is a probable site for the initiation of a future collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the […]

The evolution of a breaking mesospheric bore wave packet
Read more of: The evolution of a breaking mesospheric bore wave packetAll-sky CCD observations of mesospheric gravity waves have been made from Halley Station Antarctica (75.5°S, 26.7°W) as part of a collaborative research program between British Antarctic Survey, U.K. and Utah […]

On the effective aerodynamic and scalar roughness length of Weddell Sea ice
Read more of: On the effective aerodynamic and scalar roughness length of Weddell Sea iceWe study the effective aerodynamic roughness length z0_eff and scalar roughness length for temperature zT_eff over different compact sea ice types in the Antarctic Weddell Sea by aircraft measurements during […]

Getting around Antarctica: new high-resolution mappings of the grounded and freely-floating boundaries of the Antarctic ice sheet created for the International Polar Year
Read more of: Getting around Antarctica: new high-resolution mappings of the grounded and freely-floating boundaries of the Antarctic ice sheet created for the International Polar YearThe boundary of grounded ice and the location of ice transitioning to a freely floating state are mapped at 15-m resolution around the entire continent of Antarctica. These data products […]

Sensitivity of interglacial Greenland temperature and δ18O: ice core data, orbital and increased CO2 climate simulations
Read more of: Sensitivity of interglacial Greenland temperature and δ18O: ice core data, orbital and increased CO2 climate simulationsThe sensitivity of interglacial Greenland temperature to orbital and CO2 forcing is investigated using the NorthGRIP ice core data and coupled ocean-atmosphere IPSL-CM4 model simulations. These simulations were conducted in […]

The “tipping” temperature within Subglacial Lake Ellsworth, West Antarctica and its implications for lake access.
Read more of: The “tipping” temperature within Subglacial Lake Ellsworth, West Antarctica and its implications for lake access.We present results from new geophysical data allowing modelling of the water flow within Subglacial Lake Ellsworth (SLE), West Antarctica. Our simulations indicate that this lake has a novel temperature […]

Snow optical properties at Dome C, (Concordia), Antarctica: implications for snow emissions and snow chemistry of reactive nitrogen
Read more of: Snow optical properties at Dome C, (Concordia), Antarctica: implications for snow emissions and snow chemistry of reactive nitrogenMeasurements of e-folding depth, nadir reflectivity and stratigraphy of the snowpack around Concordia station (Dome C, 75.10 S, 123.31 E) were undertaken to determine wavelength dependent coefficients (350 nm to […]

Improved magnetic anomalies of the Antarctic lithosphere from satellite and near-surface data
Read more of: Improved magnetic anomalies of the Antarctic lithosphere from satellite and near-surface dataThe Antarctic magnetic anomaly map compiled marine and airborne surveys collected south of 60 degrees S through 1999 and used Magsat data to help fill in the regional gaps between […]
