Instrumented ocean moorings are the gold standard for gathering in situ measurements at a fixed location in the ocean. Because they require installation by a ship and must be secured to the seafloor, moorings are expensive, logistically difficult to

Antarctic Peninsula warming triggers enhanced basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica

Autor: Andrew F. Thompson, Mar M. Flexas, Michael Schodlok, Kevin Speer

The acceleration of ice-shelf basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica, as well as their potential to destabilize the ice sheets they buttress, is well documented. Yet, the mechanisms that determine both trends and variability of these melt rates

The ocean is the largest solar energy collector on Earth. The amount of heat it can store is modulated by its complex circulation, which spans a broad range of spatial scales, from metres to thousands of kilometres. In the classical paradigm, fine oc

The wavenumber spectrum of sea surface height (SSH) is an important indicator of the dynamics of the ocean interior. While the SSH wavenumber spectrum has been well studied at mesoscale wavelengths and longer, using both in situ oceanographic measure

The area west of the Kerguelen Islands (20–70°E/45–60°S) is characterized by a weak mesoscale activity except for a standing meander region of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) localized between 20 and 40°E. A unique bio-physical dataset
