The Ross Sea is characterized by the presence of persistent ice-free areas during the austral winter (polynyas). One of which is recurrently detected in the coastal area of Terra Nova Bay (TNB) and is important in the modification of the thermohaline structure of the whole Ross Sea. Brine release du...
