The Antarctic dense water overflows can be monitored from space. We detailed in @ConversationEDU why we think it's exciting:
New paper out in @commsearth.bsky.social ! We show how satellite altimeters can help us monitor the dense water export from the Antarctic Margins.
New paper: we show that variability in the Zonal Wave-3 mode - an atmospheric pattern made up of three pairs of cyclones and anticyclones circling the Southern Hemisphere - does influence the formation and export of dense waters around Antarctica over multiple years.
Being able to monitor the overflow of #Antarctic dense waters from the continental shelf to deeper open waters is critically important, but has long been a major challenge for scientists.
New research from @matthisauger.bsky.social could be a game-changer ⬇️

Abstract. Antarctic sea ice plays many crucial roles in the physical environments and ecosystems of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. In this study, we sy
