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 …

Warm Circumpolar Deep Water transport toward Antarctica driven by local dense water export in canyons
Poleward transport of warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) has been linked to melting of
Antarctic ice shelves. However, even the steady-state spatial distribution and mechanisms of …

Antarctic slope current modulates ocean heat intrusions towards Totten Glacier
The Totten ice shelf (TIS) in East Antarctica has received increasing attention in recent years
due to high basal melt rates, which have been linked to a presence of warm modified …

A numerical investigation of formation and variability of Antarctic Bottom Water off Cape Darnley, East Antarctica
At several locations around Antarctica, dense water is formed as a result of intense sea ice
formation. When this dense water becomes sufficiently denser than the surrounding water, it …

Closing the loops on Southern Ocean dynamics: From the circumpolar current to ice shelves and from bottom mixing to surface waves
A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

Mesoscale, tidal, and seasonal/interannual drivers of the Weddell Sea overturning circulation
AL Stewart - Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2021 - journals.ametsoc.org
Abstract The Weddell Sea supplies 40%–50% of the Antarctic Bottom Water that fills the
global ocean abyss, and therefore exerts significant influence over global circulation and …

Controls of topographic Rossby wave properties and downslope transport in dense overflows
Abstract Antarctic Bottom Water is primarily formed via overflows of dense shelf water (DSW)
around the Antarctic continental margins. The dynamics of these overflows therefore …
