Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) is a designation given to the water mass in the Pacific and Indian oceans that is a mixing of other water masses in the region. [1] It is characteristically warmer …

May 1, 2020 · Using a global, eddying ocean model, we explore the relationship between the cross-slope transports of CDW and descending Dense Shelf Water (DSW). We find large …

Aug 24, 2018 · Upwelling circumpolar deep water (CDW) is destabilising West Antarctic ice shelves, yet offshore pathways and drivers remain unclear.

Jun 2, 2021 · Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) is a key component of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current[3]. In the Amundsen Sea, CDW is found near to the shelf break, where the continental …

Jul 1, 2011 · CDW is typically divided into two types, Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW), characterized by relatively low oxygen and high nutrient concentrations, and Lower …

May 14, 2018 · In the Amundsen Sea, warm saline Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) crosses the continental shelf toward the vulnerable West Antarctic ice shelves, contributing to their basal …

Feb 6, 2023 · Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW), the primary source of heat and salt for the Antarctic coasts, is transported across the ASC predominantly by mesoscale eddies in the …

Aug 2, 2022 · Oceanographic observations off East Antarctica show substantial warming of mid-depth Circumpolar Deep Water, linked to poleward wind shifts, with implications for glacial …

Dec 19, 2014 · The Antarctic Slope Front (ASF) modulates ventilation of the abyssal ocean via the export of dense Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and constrains shoreward transport of …

Sep 20, 2021 · The Amundsen Sea is the most rapidly melting part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, due to increased heat transport by Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW). Tracing CDW and …
