Abstract The Southern Ocean is a critical component of the global climate system and an
important ecoregion that contains a diverse range of interdependent flora and fauna. It also …

Changes in the strength and position of Southern Hemisphere westerly winds during the
Last Glacial cycle have been invoked to explain both millennial and glacial–interglacial …

We present an update of the 'key points' from the Antarctic Climate Change and the
Environment (ACCE) report that was published by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic …

Ocean fronts, characterized by narrow zones with sharp changes in water properties, are
vital hotspots for ecosystem services and key regulators of regional and global climates …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

The Southern Ocean plays a fundamental role in global climate. With no continental barriers,
it distributes climate signals among the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans through its fast …

Satellite remote sensing, in particular by radar altimetry, is a crucial technique for
observations of the ocean surface and of many aspects of land surfaces, and of paramount …

Abstract Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) fronts, defined as water mass boundaries,
have been known to respond to large-scale atmospheric variabilities, especially the …

Abstract The Agulhas Current plays a crucial role in the thermohaline circulation through its
leakage into the South Atlantic Ocean. Under both past and present climates, the trade …

This study examines the role of processes transporting tracers across the Polar Front (PF) in
the depth interval between the surface and major topographic sills, which this study refers to …
