Circulation, mixing, and production of Antarctic Bottom Water
The Antarctic source of bottom water to the abyssal layer of the World Ocean is examined, as
well as its large-scale flow pattern and ultimate entrainment rate into the deep water above …

Sensitivity of a global sea ice model to the treatment of ice thermodynamics and dynamics
The sensitivity of a global thermodynamic‐dynamic sea ice model coupled to a one‐
dimensional upper ocean model to degradations of the model physics is investigated. The …

On the structure and origin of major glaciation cycles 1. Linear responses to Milankovitch forcing
Time series of ocean properties provide a measure of global ice volume and monitor key
features of the wind‐driven and density‐driven circulations over the past 400,000 years …

Cessation of deep convection in the open Southern Ocean under anthropogenic climate change
In 1974, newly available satellite observations unveiled the presence of a giant ice-free
area, or polynya, within the Antarctic ice pack of the Weddell Sea, which persisted during the …

Molecular transformation and degradation of refractory dissolved organic matter in the Atlantic and Southern Ocean
More than 90% of the global ocean dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is refractory, has an
average age of 4000–6000 years and a lifespan from months to millennia. The fraction of …

Water-mass transformation by sea ice in the upper branch of the Southern Ocean overturning
Ocean overturning circulation requires a continuous thermodynamic transformation of the
buoyancy of seawater. The steeply slo** isopycnals of the Southern Ocean provide a …

Atmospheric influences on the anomalous 2016 Antarctic sea ice decay
In contrast to the Arctic, where total sea ice extent (SIE) has been decreasing for the last
three decades, Antarctic SIE has shown a small, but significant, increase during the same …
