The Weddell Sea Bottom Water is the densest component of the Antarctic bottom water.
2.
A unique feature of Antarctic bottom water is the cold surface wind blowing off the Antarctic continent.
3.
Antarctic bottom water is formed in the Cape Darnley from surface water cooling in polynyas and below the ice shelf.
4.
One of these is the Antarctic Bottom Water, a very cold, highly saline, dense water that forms under sea ice.
5.
This Antarctic wind is stronger during the winter months and thus the Antarctic bottom water formation is more pronounced during the Antarctic winter season.
6.
This warmer water results in melting of Antarctic ice, thereby reducing density stratification and the strength of the Antarctic Bottom Water current ( AABW ).
7.
Could you label the topmost part DSW ( " Dense Shelf Water " ) and the bottom part AABW ( " Antarctic bottom water " )?
8.
Antarctic Bottom Water ( AABW ) originated in the Oligocene with the opening of the Drake Passage and the Tasmanian Seaway and resulted in the thermal insulation of Antarctica.
9.
Recent warming observations of Antarctic Bottom Water in the Southern Ocean is of concern to ocean scientists because bottom water changes will effect currents, nutrients, and biota elsewhere.
10.
The Antarctic Bottom Water is the source of most bottom water in southern parts of Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, and even in parts of the North Atlantic.
