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 …

A review of the role of submarine canyons in deep-ocean exchange with the shelf
SE Allen, X Durrieu de Madron - Ocean Science, 2009 - os.copernicus.org
Cross shelf-break exchange is limited by the tendency of geostrophic flow to follow
bathymetric contours, not cross them. However, small scale topography, such as canyons …

Ice-shelf collapse from subsurface warming as a trigger for Heinrich events
Episodic iceberg-discharge events from the Hudson Strait Ice Stream (HSIS) of the
Laurentide Ice Sheet, referred to as Heinrich events, are commonly attributed to internal ice …

Heat transport across the Antarctic Slope Front controlled by cross-slope salinity gradients
The Antarctic Slope Front (ASF) is a strong gradient in water mass properties close to the
Antarctic margins, separating warm water from the Antarctic ice sheet. Heat transport across …

Ocean tide influences on the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets
Ocean tides are the main source of high‐frequency variability in the vertical and horizontal
motion of ice sheets near their marine margins. Floating ice shelves, which occupy about …
