Unprecedented Summer Phytoplankton Bloom in the Ross Sea
Geophysical Research LettersHigh‐resolution glider sampling in the southwestern Ross Sea revealed an extensive phytoplankton bloom in austral summer 2022–2023 that persisted for over one month and extended through the upper 100 m of the water column. The temporal mean euphotic‐zone

Sea Ice Thickness in the Western Ross Sea [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractUsing airborne measurements, we provide a first direct glimpse of the sea ice thickness distribution in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica, where the distinguishing sea ice process is the regular occurrence of the Ross Sea, McMurdo Sound, and Terra Nova Bay polynyas.

Tintinnid ciliates (marine microzooplankton) of the Ross Sea
Polar Research, 2022 For the Ross Sea, the only Marine Protected Area in Antarctica, available data on the tintinnid ciliates of the marine microzooplankton are mostly limited to nearshore waters near Terra Nova Bay or the vicinity of the McMurdo Sound.

Past ice-sheet behaviour: retreat scenarios and changing controls in the Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Studying the history of ice-sheet behaviour in the Ross Sea, Antarctica's largest drainage basin can improve our understanding of patterns and controls on marine-based ice-sheet dynamics and provide constraints for numerical ice-sheet models.

Dissolved Trace Metals in the Ross Sea [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The dissolved (D) trace metals zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), lanthanum (La), yttrium (Y), and lead (Pb) were analyzed via ICPMS in samples from the Ross Sea obtained during a cruise between 20 December 2013 and 5 January 2014. The concentrations of DZn, DCd, DCo, DCu, DFe, DMn,

Carbonate saturation state of surface waters in the Ross Sea and Southern Ocean: controls and implications for the onset of aragonite undersaturation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Predicting when surface waters of the Ross Sea and Southern Ocean will become undersaturated with respect to biogenic carbonate minerals is challenging in part due to the lack of baseline high-resolution carbon system data. Here we present ~ 1700 surface

Seasonal variations in Circumpolar Deep Water intrusions into the Ross Sea continental shelf
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Intrusions of the warm and nutrient-rich Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) across the Ross Sea shelf break play an important role in providing heat for ice shelf basal melting and setting the physical environment for biochemical processes.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The potential ice core proxies of variability in oceanic and atmospheric conditions over the Ross Sea were evaluated. This study examined sea salt sodium (ss–Na+) and biogenic sulfur (methanesulfonate, MS–) records, covering 23 years between 1990 and ...

Atmospheric forcing of sea ice anomalies in the Ross Sea polynya region [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 We investigate the impacts of strong wind events on the sea ice concentration within the Ross Sea polynya (RSP), which may have consequences on sea ice formation.

Climatology and decadal variability of the Ross Sea shelf waters
Advances in Oceanography and Limnology, 2011 The World Ocean Database 2001 data located in the Ross Sea (named WOD01 and containing data in this region since 1928) are merged with recent data collected by the Italian expeditions (CLIMA dataset) in the period November 1994-February 2004 in the same ...
