Alexander; Mashayek, Ali; Wang, Zhaomin; Kerr, Rodrigo; Williams, Guy D.; Lee, Won Sang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Dense, cold waters formed on Antarctic continental shelves descend along the Antarctic continental margin, where they mix with other Southern Ocean waters to form Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). AABW then spreads into the ...
    • On the effect of topography and wind on warm water inflow— An idealized study of the southern Weddell Sea continental shelf system 

      Daae, Kjersti; Hattermann, Tore; Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Fer, Ilker (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)
      An idealized eddy-resolving numerical model, with topographic features common to the southern Weddell Sea, is constructed to study mechanisms through which warm deep water enters a wide continental shelf with a trough. The ...
    • Phenology and Environmental Control of Phytoplankton Blooms in the Kong Håkon VII Hav in the Southern Ocean 

      Kauko, Hanna Maria; Hattermann, Tore; Ryan-Keogh, Thomas J.; Singh, Asmita; de Steur, Laura; Fransson, Agneta; Chierici, Melissa; Falkenhaug, Tone; Hallfredsson, Elvar H.; Bratbak, Gunnar; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Berge, Terje; Zhou, Qin; Moreau, Sebastien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Knowing the magnitude and timing of pelagic primary production is important for ecosystem and carbon sequestration studies, in addition to providing basic understanding of phytoplankton functioning. In this study we use ...

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Despite the exclusion of the Southern Ocean from assessments of progress towards achieving the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Strategic Plan, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources ...
    • Upstream sources of the Denmark Strait Overflow: Observations from a high-resolution mooring array 

      Harden, Benjamin E.; Pickart, Robert S.; Valdimarsson, Héðinn; Våge, Kjetil; de Steur, Laura; Richards, Clark; Bahr, Frank; Torres, Dan; Børve, Eli; Jónsson, Steingrímur; Macrander, Andreas; Østerhus, Svein; Håvik, Lisbeth; Hattermann, Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      We present the first results from a densely instrumented mooring array upstream of the Denmark Strait sill, extending from the Iceland shelfbreak to the Greenland shelf. The array was deployed from September 2011 to July ...
