Oceanographic Cruise Summary Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]
Abstract : The Naval Oceanographic Office conducted an oceanographic survey in the Ross Sea from 25 February to 1 March 1969. Temperature and salinity data were obtained at the annual ice prediction stations along the shipping route to McMurdo and Hallett Stations, Antarctica. Twenty-three stations were taken.

Sea ice deformation and thickness in the Western Ross Sea
<p>Sea ice cover is arguably the longest and best observed climate variable from space, with over four decades of highly reliable daily records of extent in both hemispheres. In Antarctica, a slight positive decadal trend in sea ice cover is driven by changes in the western Ross Sea, where a variation in weather patterns over the wider ...

The staggered retreat of grounded ice in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) [PDF]
The retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) in the Ross Sea after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was more significant than for any other Antarctic sector.

Remote Sensing of Antarctic Sea Ice with Coordinated Aircraft and Satellite Data Acquisitions [PDF]
Remote sensing of Antarctic sea ice is required to characterize properties of the vast sea ice cover to understand its long-term increase in contrast to the decrease of Arctic sea ice.

Echinoderms from Cape Hallett, ross sea [PDF]
Summary Fifteen species of echinoderms are recorded from collections made through sea‐ice off Cape Hallett in the Ross Sea; 12 of these are new for this area. Except for one ophiuroid, here described as a new species, all are known to occur elsewhere in the Ross Sea. Crinoids and holothurians were not taken and it is probable that only a portion of the

Evolution of Antarctic Sea Ice Ahead of the Record Low Annual Maximum Extent in September 2023
The 2023 Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE) maximum on 7 September was the lowest annual maximum in the satellite era (16.98 × 106 km2), with the largest contributions to the anomaly coming from the Ross (37.7%, −0.57 × 106 km2) and Weddell (32.9%, −0.49 ...

Summary of palaeomagnetic results from West Antarctica: implications for the tectonic evolution of the Pacific margin of Gondwana during the Mesozoic [PDF]
Marie Byrd Land (MBL) is the western keystone of West Antarctica. Recent palaeomagnetic results from Lower Cretaceous (c. 117 Ma) plutonic and volcanic rocks from MBL in conjunction with a previous palaeomagnetic result from New Zealand suggest that ...
