Winter-time oceanography of the Adelie Depression

The formation of high-salinity shelf waters beneath coastal polynyas from enhanced sea-ice production and brine rejection during wintertime is critical to the production of Antarctic Bottom Waters. We report on the first wintertime measurements of high-salinity shelf water formation over the Adlie D...
