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

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

Dissolved oxygen dynamics during a phytoplankton bloom in the Ross Sea polynya [PDF]
The Ross Sea polynya is one of the most productive regions in the Southern Ocean. However, limited access and high spatio-temporal variability of physical and biological processes limit the use of conventional oceanographic methods to measure early ...

Physical and biological properties of early winter Antarctic sea ice in the Ross Sea
This work presents the results of physical and biological investigations at 27 biogeochemical stations of early winter sea ice in the Ross Sea during the 2017 PIPERS cruise. Only two similar cruises occurred in the past, in 1995 and 1998.

Multianalytical provenance analysis of Eastern Ross Sea LGM till sediments (Antarctica): Petrography, geochronology, and thermochronology detrital data [PDF]
In order to reveal provenance of detrital sediments supplied by West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), 19 glaciomarine cores of Last Glacial Maximum age were analyzed from Eastern Ross Sea and Sulzberger Bay.
