US/Chinese Collaborative Study: Investigation of Bottom Water Formation in Prydz Bay, Antarctica
Abstract: Processess governing the formation of Antarctic bottom water (AABW) in the Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean remain poorly described. As with AABW formation in more well studied regions of the Antarctic continent, global climate impacts of the source regions of this dense, cold wat...
