Processes of stratification breakdown and restratification in Antarctic coastal polynyas
Antarctic coastal polynyas are areas of persistent open water surrounded by sea ice. They are characterized by deep winter mixing due to dense water formation from sea ice production and elevated biological productivity after spring restratification. Antarctic coastal polynyas are diverse in terms …

Multi-decadal Dynamics of Southern Ocean Open-Ocean Polynyas and Deep Convection: Insights from Climate Models
Open-ocean deep convection and polynyas in the Southern Ocean play a fundamental role in regulating global climate through its influence on water mass formation, sea ice, and the large-scale overturning circulation. However, its variability, underlying mechanisms, and global impacts remain …

Cross-shelf exchange driven by dense flow down a canyon
… by the dispersal of dense water generated by polynyas on the Arctic and Antarctic continental shelves. Laboratory results corroborate prior numerical results suggesting that canyons are hotspots of cross-shelf exchange. When the dense water descends a canyon, it induces an onshore return flow …
