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.

Spatial-Related Community Structure and Dynamics in Phytoplankton of the Ross Sea, Antarctica

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The Ross Sea exhibits the largest continental shelf and it is considered to be the most productive region in Antarctica, with phytoplankton communities that have so far been considered to be driven by the seasonal dynamics of the polynya, producing the ...

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.

Anomalous peak in Antarctic sea-ice area, winter 1998, coincident with ENSO [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The results of an updated satellite analysis of hemispheric and regional Antarctic sea-ice cover are presented based on October 1987-September I999 Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) data.

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

Dissolved oxygen dynamics during a phytoplankton bloom in the Ross Sea polynya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Carbonate system data tracing freshwater inflow into the Ross Sea through the eastern gate and along the Ross Ice Shelf (Antarctica)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The eastern Ross Sea is a key area to understand the role of the Amundsen Sea inflow of freshwater that can influence the Ross Sea water properties and salt budget.

Multianalytical provenance analysis of Eastern Ross Sea LGM till sediments (Antarctica): Petrography, geochronology, and thermochronology detrital data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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.

Long-term and recent changes in sea level in the Falkland Islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Mean sea level measurements made at Port Louis in the Falkland Islands in 1981-2, 1984 and 2009, together with values from the nearby permanent tide gauge at Port Stanley, have been compared to measurements made at Port Louis in 1842 by James Clark Ross.

The Ross Sea and Amundsen Sea Ice–Sea Model (RAISE v1.0): a high-resolution ocean–sea ice–ice shelf coupling model for simulating the Dense Shelf Water and Antarctic Bottom Water in the Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development
The Ross Sea in the Southern Ocean is a key region for the formation of the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) that supplies the lower limb of the global overturning circulation and contributes to 20 %–40 % of the total AABW production.
