A scene of an animation taken from data drawn from an ocean model run on the Australian super computer, Raijin, shows movement of Antarctic bottom water in the Weddell Sea Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

such as the generation of Antarctic bottom water, which cools and ventilates much of the global ocean abyss.” ...

Additionally, research on the Romanche Fracture Zone has provided new observational data on abyssal flows, particularly the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). This study identified multiple jets of ...

The influx of meltwater is altering the formation of Antarctic Bottom Water, leading to warming and changes in ocean properties that could have long-lasting effects on global climate systems[3].

In particular, sea-ice retreat could mean changes in how a deeper layer of cold, dense Antarctic bottom water absorbs and stores heat. The authors said further in-depth analysis of possible ...

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame? When you purchase through links on ...
