Variability of sea salt and methanesulfonate in firn cores from northern Victoria Land, Antarctica: Their links to oceanic and atmospheric condition variability in the Ross Sea

open access: yesFrontiers 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]

open access: yesThe 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

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...

Distribution of total alkalinity and pH in the Ross Sea (Antarctica) waters during austral summer 2008 [PDF]

open access: yesPolar Research, 2014
Measurements of total alkalinity (AT) and pH were made in the Ross Sea in January–February 2008 in order to characterize the carbonate system in the Ross Sea and to evaluate the variability associated with different water masses. The main water masses of

Weekly Mapping of Sea Ice Freeboard in the Ross Sea from ICESat-2

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
NASA’s ICESat-2 has been providing sea ice freeboard measurements across the polar regions since October 2018. In spite of the outstanding spatial resolution and precision of ICESat-2, the spatial sparsity of the data can be a critical issue for sea ice ...

Mechanisms and impacts of anomalous high-salinity shelf water formation in the Ross Sea [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
High-salinity shelf water (HSSW) acts as a precursor to the Antarctic Bottom Water and plays a critical role in regulating the global ocean circulation system.

Glacial history of Pyramid Trough, southern McMurdo Sound, Antarctica: Constraints on Koettlitz Glacier during the last glacial maximum and termination

open access: yesQuaternary Science Advances, 2023
Reconstructions of past glacier extent and timing afford perspective on the efficacy of mechanisms thought to control ice-sheet fluctuations. Here, we present data concerning the interactions between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and a local glacier (Koettlitz

Extent of the Ross Orogen in Antarctica: new data from DSDP 270 and Iselin Bank [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Ross Sea is bordered by the Late Precambrian–Cambrian Ross–Delamerian Orogen of East Antarctica and the more Pacific-ward Ordovician–Silurian Lachlan–Tuhua–Robertson Bay–Swanson Orogen.

Anthropogenic carbon distribution in the Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesAntarctic Science, 2007
AbstractThe Ross Sea is an area of dense water formation within the Southern Ocean, hence it potentially plays an important role for anthropogenic CO2 sequestration. In order to estimate the penetration of anthropogenic carbon in the Ross Sea from total inorganic carbon (TCO2) measurements carried out in 2002–03 Antarctic Italian Expedition, we applied
