Abstract: During winter 1974?75, band-like ice features were observed via satellite in the Bering Sea water-ice transition zone during periods of off-ice winds. These were several tens of kilometers long, spaced from 6?12 km apart, ...

Abstract: Moored current-meter observations obtained from upstream and downstream locations in Shelikof Strait, between Kodiak and Afognak Islands and the Alaskan mainland in the northwest Gulf of Alaska, show a considerable amount ...

Abstract: Temperature and salinity data obtained from the northwestern Weddell Sea during March 1986 reveal numerous thermohaline staircases in the thermocline separating warm deep water from the overlying colder, lower salinity ...

Abstract: he exchange of warm, salty seawater across the continental shelves off West Antarctica leads to subsurface glacial melting at the interface between the ocean and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. One mechanism that contributes ...

Abstract: In winter the eastern Weddell Sea in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean hosts some of the most dynamic air-ice-sea interactions found on earth. Sea ice in the region is kept relatively thin by heat flux from below, ...
