Future changes in Antarctic coastal polynyas and bottom water formation simulated by a high-resolution coupled model
Abstract Antarctic coastal polynyas produce Dense Shelf Water, a precursor to Antarctic Bottom Waters that supply the global abyssal circulation. Future projections of Dense Shelf Water formation are hindered by unresolved small-scale atmosphere-sea ice-ocean interactions in polynyas. Here, we inves...
