Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) and Antarctic Coastal Current advect heat,
freshwater, nutrients, and biological organisms westward around the Antarctic margin …

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 …

The stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) depends on ocean heat transport toward
its base and remains a source of uncertainty in sea level rise prediction. The Antarctic Slope …

The exchange of water masses across the Antarctic continental shelf break regulates the
export of dense shelf waters to depth as well as the transport of warm, mid-depth waters …

All exchanges between the open ocean and the Antarctic continental shelf must cross the
Antarctic Slope Current (ASC). Previous studies indicate that these exchanges are strongly …

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) circumnavigates the Antarctic continent following
the continental slope and separating the waters on the continental shelf from the deeper …

Ice mass loss in the Wilkes Land sector of East Antarctica and the Amundsen and
Bellingshausen Sea sectors of West Antarctica has contributed to a rise in sea levels over …

Predicting the source areas for Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) requires knowledge of how
cold, dense water masses form and move from the Antarctic shelves to the continental slope …

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current is guided by the topographic gradient of the Antarctic
continental slope and creates a dynamical barrier between the continental shelf and the …

Some of the most rapid melting of ice sheets and ice shelves around Antarctica has occurred
where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is in close proximity to the Antarctic …
