Ice production and convective mixing in the coastal polynya off Lutzow-Holm Bay, Antarctica

A coastal polynya often forms around Lutzow-Holm Bay even in severe winter. To clarify the characteristics of oceanic structure in the polynya, the water mass of the convective-mixed layer was analyzed. Haline convection by the high ice production in the winter polynya contributes to the formation o...
