Description

Summary

• In this latest oceanology volume of the Antarctic Research Series, polar scientists describe and model air-sea and ice-ocean interactions, the formation and chemistry of deep and bottom waters, regional circulations, tidal heights and currents, ocean bathymetry, interannual variability and the Antarctic Slope Front.
• With international authorship and interdisciplinary scope, this compilation and the related volumes Antarctic Sea Ice Physical Processes and Antarctic Sea Ice Biological Processes also cover the impacts of ice crystals and icebergs, sea ice biology and geophysics, and the important roles of sea ice in atmospheric and oceanographic processes.
