Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a complex and highly variable role in air‐sea‐ice interaction
processes and the Earth's climate system. Using data collected mostly during the past 10 …

A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

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 …

Sea ice exhibits a marked transition in its fluid transport properties at a critical brine volume
fraction pc of about 5 percent, or temperature T c of about–5° C for salinity of 5 parts per …

Numerical experiments are conducted with a coarse‐resolution global ice‐ocean model in
order to determine to what degree the sea ice‐ocean exchanges of heat, salt/freshwater …

Ship‐based observations are used to describe regional and seasonal changes in the
thickness distribution and characteristics of sea ice and snow cover thickness around …

This paper is the first part of a twofold contribution dedicated to the new version of the
Louvain-la-Neuve sea ice model LIM3. In this part, LIM3 is described and its results are …

The substantial reduction in summer Arctic sea ice extent observed in 2007 and 2008 and its
potential ecological and geopolitical impacts generated a lot of attention by the media and …

Enhanced sea ice production (SIP) in Antarctic coastal polynyas forms dense shelf water
(DSW), leading to Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation that ultimately drives the lower …

As part of a large interdisciplinary study of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean
(SHEBA), we installed more than 135 ice thickness gauges to determine the sea ice mass …
