A hydrographic section along 55° E, south of 30° S, was visited from December 2019 to January 2020 as the first occupation under the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program. The water column was measured from the sea surface to 10 dbar above the bottom with eddy-resolving station spacings and state-of-the-art accuracy. The upper profile was characterised by a conspicuous front between 42.5 and 43° S and a c...
Dense, cold waters formed on Antarctic continental shelves descend along the Antarctic continental margin, where they mix with other Southern Ocean waters to form Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). AABW then spreads into the deepest parts of all major ocean basins, isolating heat and carbon from the atmosphere for centuries. Despite AABW’s key role in regulating Earth’s climate on long time scales and in recording Southern Ocean c...
Ocean circulation plays a key role in structuring marine ecosystems in the Southern Ocean. However, the seasonal dynamics of ocean circulation are poorly understood in the ice‐covered continental shelves due to difficulties in conducting observations. We, therefore, investigated spatial and temporal variations in oceanographic conditions and their biological effects on the continental shelf off East Antarctica (35°E–50°E) by d...
Subglacial discharge has significant impacts on water circulation, material transport, and biological productivity in proglacial fjords of Greenland. To help clarify the fjord water properties and the effect of subglacial discharge, we investigated the properties of vertical water mass profiles of Bowdoin Fjord in northwestern Greenland based on summer hydrographic observations, including turbidity, in 2014 and 2016. We estima...
