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 …
In this paper we report measurements from the first year‐round mooring underneath sea ice in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, which we combine with full‐depth ocean profiles to identify …
The first oceanographic data from beneath the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, are presented here with synchronous observations from southern McMurdo Sound. Multilevel current …
Barotropic to baroclinic tidal conversion rates and baroclinic tidal energy fluxes are derived from a high resolution ocean circulation and tide model (STORMTIDE) simulation. Two semi …
Two massive tabular icebergs calved from the Ross Ice Shelf in 2000 (B-15) and 2002 (C- 19) and perturbed regional ocean processes for several years. Here we document the …
We present airborne measurements to investigate the thickness of the western McMurdo Ice Shelf in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica. Because of basal accretion of marine ice and …
This is an investigation to quantify the influence of the sub-ice platelet layer on satellite measurements of total freeboard and their conversion to thickness of Antarctic sea ice. The …
Here we describe the evolution through winter of a layer of in situ supercooled water beneath the sea ice at a site close to the McMurdo Ice Shelf. From early winter (May), the …
Small scale spatial patterns (< 10 km) in nearshore internal wave fields are rarely reported on, yet can have a large impact on nearshore mixing and productivity. In this study, the …
