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 …

This study presents a comprehensive review of the development and progression of
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in polar regions, aiming to synthesize past …

Solar-warmed surface waters subduct beneath Antarctica's ice shelves as a result of wind
forcing, but this process is poorly observed and its interannual variability is yet to be …

Thwaites Glacier is one of the fastest‐changing ice‐ocean systems in Antarctica. Basal
melting beneath Thwaites' floating ice shelf, especially around pinning points and at the …

Around most of Antarctica, the Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) shows a warming trend. At
the same time, the thermocline is shoaling, thereby increasing the potential for CDW to enter …

Abstract Model projections suggest that the continental shelf in the southern Weddell Sea
may experience a shift from today's near‐freezing temperature to a much warmer state …

Abstract The South Scotia Ridge, in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, is a key
region for water mass modification. It is the location of the Weddell‐Scotia Confluence, an …

The transport of water masses with ocean circulation is a key component of the global
climate system. In this context, the Filchner Trough in the southern Weddell Sea is critical, as …

Bottom water formation in the Weddell Sea and mass loss from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf
are tightly linked by the supply of Warm Deep Water to the continental shelf. Heavy sea ice …

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 …
