The Antarctic Slope Current in a changing climate
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 …

[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 …
