TL;DR: A review of the state of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean climate, and its relation to the global climate system over the last few millennia can be found in this paper, where a network of recently available shallow firn cores, and to that of the past 50 years, which was monitored by the continuous instrumental record.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple ridge model is used to calculate the total ice thickness from the observations of level ice and surface topography, to provide a best estimate of the total mass, including the ridged component.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present data collected during the past ten years, and review major findings such as differences in regional and seasonal snow properties and thicknesses; the unique consequences of snow on Antarctic pack ice relative to the Arctic (e.g. the importance of flooding and snow-ice formation); the potential impact if global change increases snowfall; lower observed values of snow thermal conductivity than those used in models; periodic large-scale melt in winter; and the contrast in summer melt in the Antarctic and Arctic.

TL;DR: The mean and mean annual cycle of throughflow-transport has strong annual and semiannual components as discussed by the authors, and the maximum net, relative transport toward the west between Australia and Indonesia is 12 Sv, in August/September.

TL;DR: In three ship-based field experiments, spectral albedos were measured at ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths for open water, grease ice, nilas, young grey-white ice, and first-year ice, both with and without snow cover.
