The Antarctic Slope Current in a changing climate
Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the
Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

Antarctic offshore polynyas linked to Southern Hemisphere climate anomalies
Offshore Antarctic polynyas—large openings in the winter sea ice cover—are thought to be
maintained by a rapid ventilation of deep-ocean heat through convective mixing. These rare …

The role of bottom friction in mediating the response of the Weddell Gyre circulation to changes in surface stress and buoyancy fluxes
Abstract The Weddell Gyre is one of the dominant features of the Southern Ocean circulation
and its dynamics have been linked to processes of climatic relevance. Variability in the …
