Recent changes and distribution of the newly-formed Cape Darnley Bottom Water, East Antarctica

Libao Gao et al.

Summary: This study analyzes hydrographic CTD and float data collected from the southwest Indian Ocean sector of the Antarctic margin between 2003 and 2020 to investigate the distribution, pathway, and changes of newly-formed Cape Darnley Bottom Water (CDBW). The results show that CDBW appears primarily on the continental slope and abyssal ocean in the eastern Cooperation Sea, with high fractions in the bottom 300 m. The formation of CDBW is influenced by factors such as sea ice production and cascading Dense Shelf Water plumes.

Summary: This study used CFC and SF6 tracers to investigate the timescale of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) spreading in Cape Darnley, East Antarctica. The results showed that the age of the bottom water varied with location, indicating different spreading processes of AABW.

Underwater frazil ice and its suspension depth detected from ADCP backscatter data around sea ice edge in the Sea of Okhotsk

Masato Ito et al.

Summary: This study used ADCP backscatter data to examine the suspension depth of frazil ice in the Sea of Okhotsk. It was found that frazil ice can extend down the water column to capture seafloor sediment at depths up to 35 meters, indicating a significant role in the bio-related material cycle.

Mapping of Active Frazil for Antarctic Coastal Polynyas, With an Estimation of Sea-Ice Production

K. Nakata et al.

Summary: Recent in situ and high-resolution satellite observations have highlighted the importance of active frazil and associated high sea-ice production in Antarctic coastal polynyas. The spatial distribution of active-frazil area, predominantly found along East Antarctica, is influenced by offshore wind and air temperature, while ice production is mainly determined by offshore wind. This study presents the first mapping of active-frazil area for Antarctic coastal polynyas, with ice production rates exceeding 20 m/yr in some areas.

Dense water downslope flow and AABW production in a numerical model: Sensitivity to horizontal and vertical resolution in the region off Cape Darnley polynya

Vigan Mensah et al.

Summary: Understanding the formation and descent of Dense Shelf Water (DSW) and Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) in the Southern Ocean requires high horizontal resolution and relatively coarse vertical resolution. By simulating and comparing with observational data, it was found that realistic simulation of AABW production and descent process requires fine horizontal grid resolutions equal to or higher than 2 km.

Seasonal Evolution of Cape Darnley Bottom Water Revealed by Mooring Measurements

Genta Mizuta et al.

Summary: This study investigated the seasonal evolution of Cape Darnley Bottom Water (CDBW) using mooring and hydrographic measurements conducted in 2008-2009 and 2013-2014. The newly formed CDBW showed varying potential temperature and salinity properties as it spread from the western to eastern parts of the slope region off Cape Darnley. It is likely that the seasonal variations in CDBW properties are influenced by the accumulation of brine in the Cape Darnley polynya during the ice production season.
