Abstract The tropical Pacific Ocean plays a significant role in climate change, and the El
Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is considered to be closely related to extreme climate …

Abstract Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is a major component of the global overturning
circulation, originating around the Antarctic continental margin. In recent decades AABW has …

Numerical weather prediction models are very important tools in predicting severe weather
phenomena such as dust storms. However, the prediction accuracy in these models …

Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) occupies the abyssal layer of the world ocean and
contributes to the global overturning circulation. It originates from dense shelf water, which …

Dense, cold waters formed on Antarctic continental shelves descend along the Antarctic
continental margin, where they mix with other Southern Ocean waters to form Antarctic …

Global-and basin-scale ocean reanalyses are becoming easily accessible and are utilized
widely to study the Southern Ocean. However, such ocean reanalyses are optimized to …

The transport of warm deep water (WDW) onto the Weddell Sea continental shelf is
associated with heat flux and strongly contributes to the melting of Antarctic ice shelves. The …

Water mass transformation (WMT) around the Antarctic margin controls Antarctica Bottom
Water formation and the abyssal limb of the global meridional overturning circulation …

We provide a detailed description of the spatial distribution, seasonality and transformation
of the main water masses within MacKenzie Polynya (MP) in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica …

Polynyas play a critical role in the formation of Antarctic Bottom Water and the enhancement
of polar primary productivity. Accurate and exhaustive identification of Antarctic polynyas is …
