Recent recovery of Antarctic Bottom Water formation in the Ross Sea driven by climate anomalies

A Silvano, A Foppert, SR Rintoul, PR Holland… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Abstract Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) supplies the lower limb of the global overturning
circulation, ventilates the abyssal ocean and sequesters heat and carbon on multidecadal to …

Freshening by glacial meltwater enhances melting of ice shelves and reduces formation of Antarctic Bottom Water

A Silvano, SR Rintoul, B Peña-Molino, WR Hobbs… - Science …, 2018 - science.org
Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool
and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the …

Heat transport across the Antarctic Slope Front controlled by cross-slope salinity gradients

Y Si, AL Stewart, I Eisenman - Science advances, 2023 - science.org
The Antarctic Slope Front (ASF) is a strong gradient in water mass properties close to the
Antarctic margins, separating warm water from the Antarctic ice sheet. Heat transport across …

Abrupt climate and weather changes across time scales

G Lohmann, M Butzin, N Eissner, X Shi… - Paleoceanography …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The past provides evidence of abrupt climate shifts and changes in the frequency of climate
and weather extremes. We explore the nonlinear response to orbital forcing and then …

Antarctic icebergs reorganize ocean circulation during Pleistocene glacials

A Starr, IR Hall, S Barker, T Rackow, X Zhang… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The dominant feature of large-scale mass transfer in the modern ocean is the Atlantic
