A Feasibility Study on Monitoring Crustal Structure Variations by Direct Comparison of Surface Wave Dispersion Curves from Ambient Seismic Noise by K. Muhumuza

“…Maximum amplitudes of secondary microseisms were observed during local winter when the Southern Ocean experiences winter storms. The Rayleigh wave group velocity ranges between 2.1 and 3.7 km/s, considering our period range studied. …”

Organic ligands in whale excrement support iron availability and reduce copper toxicity to the surface ocean by Patrick J. Monreal, Matthew S. Savoca, Lydia Babcock-Adams, Laura E. Moore, Angel Ruacho, Dylan Hull, Logan J. Pallin, Ross C. Nichols, John Calambokidis, Joseph A. Resing, Ari S. Friedlaender, Jeremy Goldbogen, Randelle M. Bundy

“…While some hypotheses attribute Southern Ocean ecosystem restructuring to disruptions in micronutrient cycling after the elimination of two million great whales, there is little knowledge of trace metal lability in whale excrement. …”

GOSI9: UK Global Ocean and Sea Ice configurations by C. Guiavarc'h, D. Storkey, A. T. Blaker, E. Blockley, A. Megann, H. Hewitt, M. J. Bell, D. Calvert, D. Copsey, B. Sinha, S. Moreton, P. Mathiot, P. Mathiot, B. An

“…To improve the representation of the Southern Ocean, a scale-aware form of the Gent–McWilliams parameterization and the application of a partial-slip lateral boundary condition on momentum in the Southern Ocean have been added, resulting in a stronger and more realistic Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport and a reduction in the temperature and salinity biases along the shelf of Antarctica. …”

Sustainability of regional Antarctic ice sheets under late Eocene seasonal atmospheric conditions by D. H. A. Vermeulen, M. L. J. Baatsen, A. S. von der Heydt

“…A narrow convergence zone with moist convection around the region with high sub-cloud equivalent potential temperature exhibits a ring-like structure, advecting moist surface air from the Southern Ocean in both summer and winter. This advection leads to high values of moist static energy and subsequent precipitation in coastal regions. …”

Observed upper-ocean structure and seasonal production in the southern Kerguelen Plateau region, 1994-2021 by Man Liang, Annie Foppert, Annie Foppert, Karen J. Westwood, Karen J. Westwood, Sophie Bestley, Sophie Bestley

“…In the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, 80°E marks an important transition in ocean circulation between the greater Prydz Bay gyre to the west and the Australian Antarctic gyre to the east. …”

Decadal transformations of antarctic sea ice modes by Benli Guo, Benli Guo, Benli Guo, Peng Yang, Peng Yang, Peng Yang, Jie Yuan, Jie Yuan, Jie Yuan, Honglian Xing, Honglian Xing, Honglian Xing, Wenjie Yuan, Wenjie Yuan, Wenjie Yuan, Yuanku Meng, Yuanku Meng, Yuanku Meng

“…This transition is closely linked to the increase in sea surface temperatures (SST) and surface air temperatures (SAT) in the Southern Ocean, which contribute to the pronounced ice melt observed in recent years. …”

Ice-proximal sea ice reconstruction in the Powell Basin, Antarctica, since the Last Interglacial by W. W. Khoo, J. Müller, J. Müller, J. Müller, O. Esper, W. Xiao, C. Stepanek, P. Gierz, G. Lohmann, G. Lohmann, G. Lohmann, W. Geibert, J. Hefter, G. Mollenhauer, G. Mollenhauer, G. Mollenhauer

“…These biomarkers have been established as reliable proxies for reconstructing near-coastal sea ice conditions in the Southern Ocean (SO), where the typical use of sea-ice-related diatoms can be impacted by silica dissolution. …”
