Exploring the origin of Antarctic precipitation for an improved climatic interpretation of ice-core records
Read more of: Exploring the origin of Antarctic precipitation for an improved climatic interpretation of ice-core recordsTo refine moisture-source and site-temperature reconstructions inferred from measurements from ice cores, we must understand moisture provenance from which Antarctic precipitation originates. Here, we discuss our current understanding of Antarctic […]

The significance of the melt-pond scheme in a CMIP6 global climate model
Read more of: The significance of the melt-pond scheme in a CMIP6 global climate modelThe impact of melt ponds on sea-ice albedo has been observed and documented. In general circulation models, ponds are now accounted for through indirect diagnostic treatments (‘implicit’ schemes), or prognostic […]

Deciphering stable water isotope records of firn cores from a strongly maritime, high-accumulation site on the Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Deciphering stable water isotope records of firn cores from a strongly maritime, high-accumulation site on the Antarctic PeninsulaStable water isotope records of six firn cores retrieved from two adjacent plateaus on the northern Antarctic Peninsula between 2014 and 2016 are presented and investigated for their connections with […]

Temperature variation in the South Orkney Islands, maritime Antarctic
Read more of: Temperature variation in the South Orkney Islands, maritime AntarcticMeteorological records at Signy Station in the South Orkney Islands (SOIs) have recently been digitized to cover the period of 1947–1995. This study compares the newly available near-surface air temperatures […]

Simulations of ocean deoxygenation in the historical era: insights from forced and coupled models
Read more of: Simulations of ocean deoxygenation in the historical era: insights from forced and coupled modelsOcean deoxygenation due to anthropogenic warming represents a major threat to marine ecosystems and fisheries. Challenges remain in simulating the modern observed changes in the dissolved oxygen (O2). Here, we […]

Deleterious effects of mercury contamination on immunocompetence, liver function and egg volume in an Antarctic seabird
Read more of: Deleterious effects of mercury contamination on immunocompetence, liver function and egg volume in an Antarctic seabirdMercury (Hg) is a globally important pollutant that can negatively impact metabolic, endocrine and immune systems of marine biota. Seabirds are long-lived marine top predators and hence are at risk […]

Investigating the Atlantic-Indian monsoon teleconnection pathways in PMIP3 last millennium simulations
Read more of: Investigating the Atlantic-Indian monsoon teleconnection pathways in PMIP3 last millennium simulationsThe Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) is considered as one of the major drivers of Indian Summer monsoon (ISM) multidecadal variability. The teleconnection is thought to take place via two dominant […]

Turbulent diapycnal fluxes as a pilot Essential Ocean Variable
Read more of: Turbulent diapycnal fluxes as a pilot Essential Ocean VariableWe contend that ocean turbulent fluxes should be included in the list of Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) created by the Global Ocean Observing System. This list aims to identify variables […]
