Wind-blown Antarctic sea ice helps drive ocean circulation
Read more of: Wind-blown Antarctic sea ice helps drive ocean circulationAntarctic sea ice is constantly on the move as powerful winds blow it away from the coast and out toward the open ocean. A new study published today in the journal Nature Geoscience (Monday 27 June) shows how that ice migration may be more important for the global ocean circulation than anyone realized.
