2. Turbulent transfer over snow and ice

   This paper is a review of the literature on turbulent transfer processes over snow and ice surfaces. Current techniques for modelling these transfers for hydrological purposes are discussed.

3. MERLIN observations of the Wolf–Rayet star AS431 (WR147)-a double radio source

   New interferometric observations of the Wolf-Rayet star AS431 using the MERLIN network are presented. These observations had a sensitivity sufficient to map the stellar-thermal continuum radio emission with a beam […]

4. Dielectric stratigraphy of ice: A new technique for determining total ionic concentrations in polar ice cores

   A 133 m deep Antarctic ice core from Dolleman Island, Antarctic Peninsula, has been profiled by dielectric measurements in the AF‐LF (20 Hz ‐ 100 kHz) frequency range. This has […]

6. A general method for the linear stability analysis of stratified shear flows

   A general method for testing the stability of a stratified, parallel shear flow is presented. The technique allows the routine determination of unstable modes from any high resolution radiosonde data […]

7. The significance of mid-Palaeozoic basement in Graham Land, Antarctic Peninsula

   A mid-Palaeozoic basement to the Antarctic Peninsula is confirmed by a geochronological study of the gneissose country rock of the Mesozoic magmatic arc of eastern Graham Land. Rb–Sr whole-rock ages […]

8. Parental investment in southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina

   The southern elephant seal is among the most sexually dimorphic and polygynous of all mammals: males may be more than 10 times the weight of reproducing females and only the […]

9. Pack-Ice Motion in the Weddell Sea in Relation to Weather Systems and Determination of a Weddell Sea Sea-Ice Budget

   As part of the Winter Weddell Sea Project 1986 (WWSP 86), a buoy, transmitting via TIROS-N satellites to Service Argos, was inserted into an ice floe in the southern Weddell […]

10. Introduced reindeer on South Georgia—A management dilemma

    Introduced mammals have had a major impact on the biota of islands in the Southern Ocean. Management plans for some islands include control measures for both introduced herbivores and carnivores […]

12. Seismic stratigraphy of the Antarctic Peninsula Pacific margin: A record of Pliocene-Pleistocene ice volume and paleoclimate

    Multichannel seismic profiles across the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula show a series of oblique progradational sequences. These sequences exhibit a variety of unusual characteristics that suggest they were […]
