Nutrient limitation of marine phytoplankton by Browning, T

“…Two thesis chapters present the results of bottle enrichment experiments at high spatial resolution across (i) the South Subtropical Convergence (SSTC) in the South Atlantic, and (ii) the Scotia Sea-Drake Passage sector of the Southern Ocean. These studies have added detail to the boundaries of limiting nutrients in these regions. …”

Long-Chain Omega-3 Oils–An Update on Sustainable Sources by Peter D. Nichols, James Petrie, Surinder Singh

“…Emerging sources include microalgae and under-utilized resources such as Southern Ocean krill. Prospects for new land plant sources of these unique and health-benefiting oils are also particularly promising, offering hope for alternate and sustainable supplies of these key oils, with resulting health, social, economic and environmental benefits.…”

Stepping-stones to the Edge: Artistic Expressions of Islandness in an Ocean of Islands by Laurie Brinklow

“…This paper examines expressions of islandness by artists who live on islands off islands that are poles apart—‘archipelagos’ of the Canadian North Atlantic and the Great Southern Ocean. It draws upon interviews with those artists and writers to consider the nature of humans’ attachment and attraction to islands, exploring through the lens of phenomenology what Stratford et al. call the “entanglement between and among islands”.…”

Enhanced vertical propagation of storm-induced near-inertial energy in an eddying ocean channel model by Zhai, X, Greatbatch, R, Zhao, J

“…The interaction between inertial oscillations generated by a storm and a mesoscale eddy field is studied using a Southern Ocean channel model. It is shown that the leakage of near-inertial energy out of the surface layer is strongly enhanced by the presence of the eddies, with the anticyclonic eddies acting as a conduit to the deep ocean. …”

The impact of salps (Salpa thompsoni) on the Antarctic krill population (Euphausia superba): an individual-based modelling study by Bruno Walter Pietzsch, Aaron Schmidt, Jürgen Groeneveld, Dominik Bahlburg, Bettina Meyer, Uta Berger

“…Abstract Background Krill (Euphausia superba) and salps (Salpa thompsoni) are key macrozooplankton grazers in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. However, due to differing habitat requirements, both species previously exhibited little spatial overlap. …”

Multi-scale variability features of global sea surface temperature over the past century by Zhenhao Xu, Zhenhao Xu, Zhenhao Xu, Zhenhao Xu, Gang Huang, Gang Huang, Gang Huang, Fei Ji, Fei Ji, Bo Liu

“…The grid points where the variance contributions of low-frequency components (LFC) are greater than 40% are mainly concentrated in the subpolar North Atlantic and the Southern Ocean in both Pacific and Atlantic sectors, while that for secular trend (ST) hitting beyond 60% are displayed in the North Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean from the tip of southwest Africa expanded to the southern side of Australia, Indo-western Pacific, east of the continents in both hemispheres and tropical Atlantic. …”

A model of the ocean overturning circulation with two closed basins and a re-entrant channel by Ferrari, R, Nadeau, L, Marshall, D, Allison, L, Johnson, H

“…A two-layer, two-basin model that accounts for these exchanges is introduced and suggests that in the present-day climate the overturning circulation is best described as the combination of three circulations: an adiabatic overturning circulation in the Atlantic Ocean associated with transformation of intermediate to deep waters in the north, a diabatic overturning circulation in the Indo-Pacific Ocean associated with transformation of abyssal to deep waters by mixing, and an interbasin circulation that exchanges waters geostrophically between the two oceans through the Southern Ocean. These results are supported both by theoretical analysis of the two-layer, two-basin model and by numerical simulations of a three-dimensional ocean model.…”

Where do winds drive the Antarctic Circumpolar Current? by Allison, L, Johnson, H, Marshall, D, Munday, D

“…The strength of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is believed to depend on the westerly wind stress blowing over the Southern Ocean, although the exact relationship between winds and circumpolar transport is yet to be determined. …”
