• Exchange of water masses between the southern Weddell Sea continental shelf and the deep ocean 

      Daae, Kjersti Birkeland (Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-13)
      The exchange of water masses between the shallow Weddell Sea continental shelf and the deep ocean is of climatic importance. Firstly, on-shelf transport of warm oceanic water masses, contributes to basal melting of ice ...
    • Hydrography and circulation in the Filchner Depression, Weddell Sea, Antarctica 

      Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Makinson, Keith; Daae, Kjersti Birkeland; Fer, Ilker; Holland, Paul R.; Nicholls, Keith W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Cold and dense ice shelf water (ISW) emerging from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf cavity in the southwestern Weddell Sea flows northward through the Filchner Depression to eventually descend the con- tinental slope and ...
    • Observations of energetic turbulence on the Weddell Sea continental slope 

      Fer, Ilker; Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Daae, Kjersti Birkeland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-23)
      Turbulence profile measurements made on the upper continental slope and shelf of the southeastern Weddell Sea reveal striking contrasts in dissipation and mixing rates between the two sites. The mean profiles of dissipation ...
