Rebound of shelf water salinity in the Ross Sea
Nature Communications, 2019 Ross Sea Bottom Water, a major source of Antarctic Bottom Water, has experienced significant freshening in recent decades. Here the authors use 23 years of summer measurements to document temporal variability in the salinity of the Ross Sea High Salinity

Formation and distribution of water masses on the shelf and continental slope around Antarctica
Лëд и снег, 2015 Field studies of the last decades show that the structure and characteristics of the waters on the continental shelf of Antarctica have significant spatial differences.

Variability of the Antarctic slope current system in the northwestern Weddell Sea [PDF]
, 2017 The dense water outflow from the Antarctic continental shelf is closely associated with the strength and position of the Antarctic Slope Front. We explore the short-term and spatial variability of the Antarctic Slope Front system and the mechanisms that ...

Ocean Science (OS), 2020 . Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is known as a long-term sink for anthropogenic CO2 (Cant), but the sink is hardly quantified because of the scarcity of observations, specifically at an interannual scale.

Dynamical Pathways of Antarctic Bottom Water in the Atlantic
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2000 Abstract A reduced-gravity model is developed to represent the flow of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) over realistic bathymetry in an Atlantic domain. The dynamics are based on the steady, planetary–geostrophic, shallow-water equations, including a linear bottom friction and a uniform diapycnal upwelling through the top of the model layer.

Quantifying Antarctic Bottom Water and North Atlantic Deep Water volumes [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2008 A near‐global census of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is essayed through a nonnegative least squares analysis of conservative and quasi‐conservative seawater properties. AABW thickness generally decreases from south to north, modulated by ocean bathymetry.

Seismic characteristics of sediment drifts: An example from the Agulhas Plateau, southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2001 Sediment drifts provide information on the palaeoceanographic development of a region. Additionally, they may represent hydrocarbon reservoirs. Because of this, sediment drift investigation has increased over the last few years. Nevertheless, a number of

The role of tides in bottom water export from the western Ross Sea
Scientific Reports, 2021 Approximately 25% of Antarctic Bottom Water has its origin as dense water exiting the western Ross Sea, but little is known about what controls the release of dense water plumes from the Drygalski Trough.

Quaternary sediment patterns in the Weddell Sea: relations and environmental conditions [PDF]
, 1988 Sediment patterns such as texture, composition, and facies from three selected areas of the Antarctic continental margin of the Weddell Sea are discussed in relation to environmental variations of the Quaternary hydrosphere and kryosphere.

Seasonal Evolution of Cape Darnley Bottom Water Revealed by Mooring Measurements
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 This study examines the seasonal evolution of Cape Darnley Bottom Water (CDBW), using the results of mooring and hydrographic measurements in the slope region off Cape Darnley in 2008–2009 and 2013–2014.
