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.” ...

The biggest iceberg on Earth is heading toward a remote island, creating a potential threat to penguins and seals inhabiting ...

The Antarctic ice sheet covers 8.3% of the Earth’s surface and is the largest store of frozen fresh water on the planet. If all the ice melted to liquid water, it would raise global sea levels ...

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 ...
