Antarctic atmospheric rivers (ARs) are a form of extreme weather that transport heat and
moisture from the Southern Hemisphere subtropics and/or mid-latitudes to the Antarctic …

Although rare, atmospheric rivers substantially influence the interannual variability of
Antarctic surface mass balance. Here we use MERRA-2 reanalysis to identify characteristics …

Hydrocarbon contamination, including contamination with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs), is a major concern in Antarctica due to the toxicity, recalcitrance and persistence of …

Many glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula have retreated and accelerated in recent decades.
Here we show that there has been a widespread, quasi-synchronous, and sustained …

Abstract The Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) held seven
targeted observing periods (TOPs) during the 2022 austral winter to enhance atmospheric …

Since the start of the satellite record in 1978, the three lowest summertime minima in
Antarctic sea ice area all occurred within the last seven years and culminated in record low …

Contrasting the extensive research on summer atmospheric rivers (ARs) in the Antarctic
Peninsula (AP), winter AR impacts are less understood. This study examines a unique …

This study investigates the impact of glacial water discharges on the hydrodynamics of a
glacial bay in Antarctica, comparing it to well-studied northern hemisphere fjords. The …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) has displayed a propensity for persistent blocking
ridges and anticyclonic conditions, particularly during recent summertime extreme weather …

Abstract Beginning in March 2022, the Antarctic Peninsula's Hektoria Glacier experienced
an unprecedented retreat of∼ 23 km over 1.5 years, one of the fastest observed glacier …
