Cross–Shelf Exchange Along the Antarctic Continental Margin: Modeling Results
The shelf areas around the Antarctic Continent are locations of dense water formation; part of these water masses ventilate the adjacent deep ocean basins and enter the global thermohaline circulation. This paper takes a look at regional differences of shelf sea–deep ocean exchange in high southern latitudes (mainly between the Weddell and Ross Seas), highlights a few physical mechanisms potent...
متن کاملReport of a Physical Oceanography Research Project over the Southern Continental Shelf of the Caspian Sea
Abstract The study presents monthly variations of seawater properties, monitoring water column stability and stratification over the southern shelf of the Caspian Sea which depends on collecting data. Field measurements were carried out during 13 cruises along the southern boundary of the sea. Spatial and temporal distributions of temperature, salinity and density were investigated. Monthl...
متن کاملDistribution of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water on the warming continental shelf of the West Antarctic Peninsula
We use autonomous underwater vehicles to characterize the spatial distribution of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) on the continental shelf of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) and present the first near-synoptic measurements of mesoscale features (eddies) containing UCDW on the WAP. Thirty-three subsurface eddies with widths on the order of 10 km were detected during four glider deployment...
متن کاملShelf-edge deltas and drowned barrier–island complexes on the northwest Florida outer continental shelf
A high-resolution multibeam survey of the northwest Florida shelf mapped six relict shelf-edge deltas, each with a drowned barrier–island system developed on its south and southwestern rims. The deltas appear to have formed during periods of sealevel stasis that occurred between 58,000 and 28,000 years ago. The barrier islands formed on the deltas during periods of slow regression during this s...
متن کاملHigh particle export over the continental shelf of the west Antarctic Peninsula
[1] Drifting cylindrical traps and the flux proxy Th indicate more than an order of magnitude higher sinking fluxes of particulate carbon and 234Th in January 2009 than measured by a time‐series conical trap used regularly on the shelf of the west Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). The higher fluxes measured in this study have several implications for our understanding of the WAP ecosystem. Larger sink...
