Ocean warming and increased stratification of the upper ocean caused by global climate
change will likely lead to declines in dissolved O2 in the ocean interior (ocean …

Abstract The Weddell Gyre (WG) is one of the main oceanographic features of the Southern
Ocean south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current which plays an influential role in global …

The Antarctic source of bottom water to the abyssal layer of the World Ocean is examined, as
well as its large-scale flow pattern and ultimate entrainment rate into the deep water above …

The sensitivity of a global thermodynamic‐dynamic sea ice model coupled to a one‐
dimensional upper ocean model to degradations of the model physics is investigated. The …

Time series of ocean properties provide a measure of global ice volume and monitor key
features of the wind‐driven and density‐driven circulations over the past 400,000 years …

In 1974, newly available satellite observations unveiled the presence of a giant ice-free
area, or polynya, within the Antarctic ice pack of the Weddell Sea, which persisted during the …

More than 90% of the global ocean dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is refractory, has an
average age of 4000–6000 years and a lifespan from months to millennia. The fraction of …

Ocean overturning circulation requires a continuous thermodynamic transformation of the
buoyancy of seawater. The steeply sloping isopycnals of the Southern Ocean provide a …

In contrast to the Arctic, where total sea ice extent (SIE) has been decreasing for the last
three decades, Antarctic SIE has shown a small, but significant, increase during the same …

Ice in the Ocean examines sea ice and icebergs and their role in the global climate system. It
is comprehensive textbook suitable for students, pure and applied researchers, and anyone …
