Tides of the Ross Sea and Ross Ice Shelf cavity

Antarctic Science, 2003
Two new ocean tide models for the Ross Sea including the ocean cavity under the Ross Ice Shelf, are described. The optimum model for predicting ice shelf surface height variability is based on assimilation of gravimetry-derived tidal constituents from the Ross Ice Shelf.

Chlorofluorocarbon distribution in the ross sea water masses

Chemistry and Ecology, 2004
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC11, CFC12 and CFC113) data, collected during the 2000-2001 austral summer, within the framework of the activities of the Climatic Long-Term Interactions for the Mass-Balance in Antarctica (CLIMA) Project of the Italian National Program for Antarctic Research (PNRA) in the Ross Sea, are discussed in the context of hydrographic ...

The Ross Sea

2009
We present budgets of carbon and nitrogen for the Ross Sea, Antarctica. The novelty of this study consists in estimating both vertical water-column to sedimentary fluxes as well as horizontal exchanges due to water mass lateral transport between the continental shelf and the open ocean.

A recount of Ross Sea waters

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2009
Abstract Oceanographic observations within the Ross Sea have grown dramatically in recent years, both in number and quality. This has prompted a parallel recount of the circulation and structure of all water masses in the southwestern continental margins of the Pacific Ocean.

Adelie penguin colonies, Ross Sea, Antarctica

2023
In this study, we use metagenomic sequencing of soils/sediments to reconstruct Adélie penguin populations, diet and microbiota throughout the Ross Sea over the past 6000 years. Ornithogenic soil samples representing 15 active and abandoned Adélie penguin sites across the entire extent of the Ross Sea coastline (Ross Island to Cape Adare) were collected

Observations of sea‐level variability in Ross Sea, Antarctica

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2003
Abstract Data from a new sea‐level recorder station at Scott Base on Ross Island and from a long‐established sea‐level recorder at Cape Roberts are analysed for tides and storm surge. Tides are primarily diurnal and their amplitude reduces to almost zero every 13.66 days, corresponding to the Moon's crossing of the equator. Global tide models are shown

Spring Phytoplankton Production in the Western Ross Sea

Science, 1994
Coastal zone color scanner (CZCS) imagery of the western Ross Sea revealed the presence of an intense phytoplankton bloom covering >106,000 square kilometers in early December 1978. This bloom developed inside the Ross Sea polynya, within 2 weeks of initial polynya formation in late November.

The Oceanography and Ecology of the Ross Sea

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2014
The continental shelf of the Ross Sea exhibits substantial variations in physical forcing, ice cover, and biological processes on a variety of time and space scales. Its circulation is characterized by advective inputs from the east and exchanges with off-shelf regions via the troughs along the northern portions. Phytoplankton biomass is greater there

Albedo of summer snow on sea ice, Ross Sea, Antarctica

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2007
Surface all‐wave albedo and physical parameters (grain radius, mass density, surface temperature, and stratification) of an austral summer snow cover on sea ice were measured in the Ross Sea during January‐February 1999. It was observed that (1) from north to south the snow surface temperature decreases, albedo increases, snow mass density decreases ...

The ornithology of the Ross Sea

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1981
Abstract Knowledge of the recent history of antarctic glaciation, sea-ice cover and temperatures suggests that the Ross Sea area has been habitable by birds for some 10,000 years. However, the glaciers in McMurdo Sound precluded colonisation there until about 6,000 yr B.P.
