Satellite observing breakthrough for monitoring the movement of Antarctic dense water

News /

Satellite observing breakthrough for monitoring the movement of Antarctic dense water Ocean modelling researchers have discovered a reliable and long-term new method to capture the formation and export of dense water around the Antarctic coast. Dense water is formed as sea ice freezes, producing vast amounts of salty water that sinks. Being able to monitor
