Polynyas are areas of open water that form within the sea ice during the Antarctic winter. They occur along the coastline and act as hotspots for air–sea interactions and sea-ice formation. We use the P-SKRIPSv2 model to simulate air–sea–ice–ocean interactions in the Ross Sea. Model results are compared with observations, and we test how changes in air–sea–ice coupling affect the system. Our findings show that P-SKRIPSv2 provides a valuable tool to study polynyasa and understand their dynamics.

We developed a high-resolution computer model to simulate how the ocean, sea ice, and ice shelves interact around Antarctica. This helps us understand their critical role in global climate and sea-level rise. Our model successfully captures essential features like major currents and seasonal ice changes. Despite some remaining biases, it provides a useful tool for predicting future changes in this vital and rapidly evolving region.

This article provides best practices for estimating an ocean turbulence parameter, epsilon, from velocity measurements. Improper data handling can lead to significant errors in the estimated mixing, propagating into estimates of heat transfers, salt, dissolved gases, and nutrients. The article explains how to process velocity datasets using benchmark datasets from different instruments and platforms in varied ocean environments. The datasets allow users to test their processing algorithms.

Short summary
A collection of temperature and salinity measurements made in the Southern Ocean and around Antarctic continental shelf seas is assembled and described in this paper. A gridded product developed out of these scattered data points is also described. The gridded product provide us a better view of contemporary mean status of the Southern Ocean and Antarctic shelf seas and help models to better reference the prediction of the future climate.

We created the first standardised dataset of in-situ ocean measurements time series from around Antarctica collected since 1970s. This includes temperature, salinity, pressure, and currents recorded by instruments deployed in icy, challenging conditions. Our analysis highlights the dominance of tidal currents and separates these from other patterns to study regional energy distribution. This unique dataset offers a foundation for future research on Antarctic ocean dynamics and ice interactions.

The stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet depends on how resistance along the sides of large glaciers slows down the flow of ice into the ocean. We present a method to map ice strength using the effect of ocean tides on floating ice shelves. Incorporating weaker ice in shear zones improves the accuracy of model predictions, compared with satellite observations. This demonstrates the untapped potential of radar satellites to map ice stiffness in the most critical areas for ice sheet stability.

This paper describes underwater robotic measurements in an energetic strait. The data show how energy is transferred from winds and tides to turbulent processes. Boundary layers of strong turbulence affected the water from surface to seafloor across an unusually deep extent, except when fresher or warmer waters moved into the region. Numerical models revealed that turbulent energy transport allowed boundary layers to interact. This phenomenon may impact the biological structure of coastal seas.

Understanding how marine animals adapt to variations in marine environmental conditions is paramount. In this paper, we investigated the influence of changes in seawater and light conditions on the seasonal foraging behavior of Weddell seals in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Our findings could serve as a baseline and establish a foundational understanding for future research, particularly concerning the impact of marine environmental changes on the ecosystem of the Ross Sea Marine Protected Area.

The state of sea ice strongly affects its absorption of solar energy. In May 2019, we flew uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with sensors designed to quantify the sunlight that is reflected by sea ice at each wavelength over the sea ice of Kotzebue Sound, Alaska. We found that snow patches get darker (up to ~ 20 %) as they get smaller, while bare patches get darker (up to ~ 20 %) as they get larger. We believe that this difference is due to melting around the edges of small features.

Water beneath glaciers in Antarctica can influence how the ice slides or melts. Airborne radar can detect this water, which looks bright in radar images. However, common techniques cannot identify the water's size or shape. We used a simulator to show how the radar image changes based on the bed material, size, and shape of the waterbody. This technique was applied to a suspected waterbody beneath Thwaites Glacier. We found it may be consistent with a series of wide, flat canals or a lake.

Ice shelves are a key control on Antarctic contribution to sea level rise. We examine the Nansen Ice Shelf in East Antarctica using a combination of field-based and satellite data. We find the basal topography of the ice shelf is highly variable, only partially visible in satellite datasets. We also find that the thinnest region of the ice shelf is altered over time by ice flow rates and ocean melting. These processes can cause fractures to form that eventually result in large calving events.

Beneath the Antarctic ice shelf, sub-ice-shelf plume flow that can cause turbulent mixing exists. In this study, we investigate how this flow affects ocean dynamics and ice melting near the ice front. Our results obtained by validated simulation show that higher turbulence intensity results in vigorous ice melting due to the high heat entrainment. Moreover, this flow with meltwater created by this flow highly affects the ocean overturning circulations near the ice front.

Short summary
Understanding ocean-driven melting of Antarctic ice shelves is critical for predicting future sea level. However, ocean observations from beneath ice shelves are scarce. Here, we present unique ocean and melting data from the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. We use our observations to evaluate common methods of representing melting in ocean–climate models (melting
parameterisations) and show that these parameterisations overestimate melting when the ocean is warm and/or currents are weak.

Short summary
We present a decade-long mooring time series from southern Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea, begun in December 2014 as the “DITx” array. Three sites around the Drygalski Ice Tongue record temperature, salinity, pressure, and currents. The data highlight seasonal cycles and variability, informing studies of water mass formation, ice–ocean interactions, glaciology, and regional ecosystems.
