What Lies Beneath the Antarctic Oceans?
The interaction of ice-ocean-atmosphere and ice-free high-latitude ocean waters has opened up new research fields to understand the biogeochemical processes under the climate change scenario. The Antarctic Sea ice is a substrate for algal growth that influences nutrient dynamics and water column stratification.
Sea-ice melting gives rise to phytoplankton bloom, which controls the CO2 draw-down as part of the carbon pump. A steadier mooring system set up in the sea ice with temperature sensors at 2 cm intervals across the sea ice in select locations in the Antarctic has opened up vistas of information.
