The Impact of Sub‐Grid Heterogeneity on Air‐Sea Turbulent Heat Flux in Coupled Climate Models
Abstract Understanding air‐sea interaction is crucial for our ability to predict future states of the climate system, and for decision‐making. However, the representation of air‐sea interactions in climate models is limited by structural errors. Coarse‐resolution climate models do not resolve small‐scale structures at the air‐sea state, which, due to ...

A 40-Y Record Reveals Gradual Antarctic Sea Ice Increases Followed by Decreases at Rates Far Exceeding the Rates Seen in the Arctic [PDF]
Following over 3 decades of gradual but uneven increases in sea ice coverage, the yearly average Antarctic sea ice extents reached a record high of 12.8 by 10 (sup 6) square kilometers in 2014, followed by a decline so precipitous that they reached their

Giant Submarine Landslide on the East Antarctic Margin During the Plio‐Pleistocene
Abstract A giant submarine landslide complex is reported on the George V margin of East Antarctic continental rise. Such landslides are imaged on seismic profiles that display evidence of basal glide planes and headwall scarps. A longitudinal seismic transect, and correlation to nearby drill sites suggest the slide was formed after the early Pliocene ...

The Influence of Ocean Swell and Wind Waves on Iceberg Melting
Abstract Free‐floating icebergs are important sources of cold freshwater to the polar oceans, influencing both ocean circulation and climate. The influence of ubiquitous oscillatory flows, like those resulting from local wind‐driven waves and swells, on melting has not been extensively studied.

Species Distribution Modeling of Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in Australian Waters
In this study, we model the spatial distribution of killer whales in Australian waters using MaxEnt. The presence‐only SDMs identified potential areas of habitat suitability and conservation priority both within and outside of known locations. Moreover, the importance of certain predictor variables indicated a preference for different environmental ...

Antarctic Sea Ice variations 1973 - 1975 [PDF]
Variations in the extent and concentration of sea ice cover on the Southern Ocean are described for the three-year period 1973-75 using information derived from the Nimbus-5 passive microwave ...

Hydraulic Control of Submarine Glacial Melt in Greenlandic Fjords
Abstract Ocean‐driven submarine basal melt of the Greenland Ice Sheet remains a major source of uncertainty in climate projections of future sea level rise based on ice sheet modeling. State‐of‐the‐art parameterizations focus on the properties of the ocean water reaching the marine‐terminating glaciers, processes at the ice‐ocean interface and ...
