Dense shelf water (DSW) is formed in East Antarctica from enhanced sea‐ice production
driven by air‐sea interaction in coastal polynyas. Cross‐shelf export and downslope mixing …

The carbonate chemistry in the Dalton Polynya in East Antarctica (115°–123° E) was
investigated in summer 2014/2015 using high‐frequency underway measurements of CO2 …

Formation of dense shelf water (DSW) in coastal polynyas (open water or thin sea-ice cover)
in the sea-ice zone around Antarctica supplies Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) through …

The seasonality of carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO 2), air-sea CO 2 fluxes and
associated environmental parameters were investigated in the Antarctic coastal waters. The …

We quantify the transport of inorganic carbon from the continental shelf to the deep ocean in
Dense Shelf Water (DSW) from the Mertz and Ninnis Polynyas along the Adélie Land coast …

Abstract Although the Ross Sea is one of the most productive regions in Antarctica, it is not
clear to what extent this region is an atmospheric CO2 sink. We calculate instantaneous …

Abstract The formation of Antarctic Bottom Water—the cold, dense water that occupies the
abyssal layer of the global ocean—is a key process in global ocean circulation. This water …

We report results from two surveys of pCO2, biological O2 saturation (ΔO2/Ar) and
dimethylsulfide (DMS) in surface waters of the Ross Sea polynya. Measurements were …

We report the first simultaneous measurements of surface water pCO2, biological oxygen
saturation (ΔO2/Ar) and dimethylsulfide (DMS) concentrations in polynya waters and the sea …

The net community production (NCP) of the Ross Sea, from the early austral spring (mid-
October) to the austral summer (mid-February), has been estimated from the seasonal …
