The Antarctic continent contains the majority of the global ice volume and plays an important role in a changing climate. The nature and causes of Antarctic climate variability are, however, poorly understood beyond interannual time scales due to the ...

Kinetics of the reactions of OH with CO, NO, and NO2 and of HO2 with NO2 in air at 1 atm pressure, room temperature, and tropospheric water vapour concentrations [PDF]
The termolecular reactions of hydroxyl radicals (OH) with carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and nitrogen dioxides (NO2) and the termolecular reaction of hydroperoxy radicals (HO2) with NO2 greatly impact the atmospheric oxidation efficiency.

New modeling of the Vostok ice flow line and implication for the glaciological chronology of the Vostok ice core [PDF]
We have used new spaceborne (elevation) and airborne (ice thickness) data to constrain a 2D1/2 model of snow accumulation and ice flow along the Ridge B-Vostok station ice flow line (East Antarctica).

Identifying orographic gravity waves in 3D observations via backward ray tracing [PDF]
Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) generated by orography, commonly referred to as mountain waves (MWs), play a key role in driving atmospheric circulation and in modulating phenomena such as sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs). Their contribution, however,

How does sea ice influence δ18O of Arctic precipitation? [PDF]
This study investigates how variations in Arctic sea ice and sea surface conditions influence δ18O of present-day Arctic precipitation. This is done using the model isoCAM3, an isotope-equipped version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research ...

ICES Report on Ocean Climate 2017 [PDF]
ICES Report on Ocean Climate (IROC) combines decades of ocean observations across the North Atlantic ICES region to describe the current status of sea temperature and salinity and atmospheric conditions, as well as observed trends and recent variability.

Impact of Variable Atmospheric and Oceanic Form Drag on Simulations of Arctic Sea Ice [PDF]
Over Arctic sea ice, pressure ridges and floe and melt pond edges all introduce discrete obstructions to the flow of air or water past the ice and are a source of form drag.
