Observational evidence for on-shelf heat transport driven by dense water export in the Weddell Sea
Recent modeling challenges our view on where the on-shelf heat flux in Antarctica occurs, suggesting it to be large where dense waters descend the continental slope. The authors provide observational evidence from the Weddell Sea supporting this claim.
