Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

[HTML][HTML] Global view of sea-ice production in polynyas and its linkage to dense/bottom water formation

KI Ohshima, S Nihashi, K Iwamoto - Geoscience Letters, 2016 - Springer
Global overturning circulation is driven by density differences. Saline water rejected during
sea-ice formation in polynyas is the main source of dense water, and thus sea-ice …

GD Williams, L Herraiz-Borreguero, F Roquet… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
A fourth production region for the globally important Antarctic bottom water has been
attributed to dense shelf water formation in the Cape Darnley Polynya, adjoining Prydz Bay …

Eddy‐mediated transport of warm Circumpolar Deep Water across the Antarctic shelf break

AL Stewart, AF Thompson - Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Antarctic Slope Front (ASF) modulates ventilation of the abyssal ocean via the
export of dense Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and constrains shoreward transport of warm …

Mapping of active frazil for Antarctic coastal polynyas, with an estimation of sea‐ice production

K Nakata, KI Ohshima, S Nihashi - Geophysical Research …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The importance of the area of active frazil and associated high sea‐ice production in

Since 2010, an intense effort in the collection of in situ observations has been carried out in
the northwestern Mediterranean Sea thanks to gliders, profiling floats, regular cruises, and …

Dominant frazil ice production in the Cape Darnley polynya leading to Antarctic Bottom Water formation

KI Ohshima, Y Fukamachi, M Ito, K Nakata… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) occupies the abyssal layer of the world ocean and
