Modulation of dense shelf water salinity variability in the western Ross Sea associated with the Amundsen Sea Low

Dense shelf water (DSW) produced in the western Ross Sea (RS) is one of the major sources of Antarctic bottom water (AABW). Thus the understanding of long-term variability of DSW salinity and its controlling factors in the western RS is critical to assess the variability of globally distributed AABW...
