Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

Elevated ice shelf melt rates in West Antarctica have been attributed to transport of warm
Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto the continental shelf via bathymetric troughs. These …

Ekman pum** induced by horizontally varying wind and sea ice drift is examined as an
explanation for observed seasonal variation of the warm layer thickness of circumpolar deep …

Abstract The Amundsen Sea polynya (ASP) is reportedly the most productive among the
coastal polynyas around Antarctica. However, observational constraints limit our …

Abstract The Amundsen Sea polynya is one of the richest areas of primary productivity in
Antarctica. The Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni, TOA) is a commercially valuable …

Onshore penetration of oceanic water across the Antarctic continental slope (ACS) plays a
major role in global sea level rise by delivering heat to the Antarctic marginal seas, thus …

The mixed layer of polynyas is vital for local climate as it determines the exchange of
properties and energy between ocean, sea ice, and atmosphere. However, its evolution is …

The glaciers that drain the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Amundsen Sea are accelerating
and experiencing increased basal melt of the floating ice shelves. Warm and salty deep …

The vertical front of ice shelves represents a topographic barrier for barotropic currents that
transport a considerable amount of heat toward the ice shelves. The blocking effect of the ice …

Reanalysis surface stress around the Antarctic continent is used to obtain the cross‐shelf
sea surface height (SSH) gradient from the shallow water equations in the long‐wave limit …
