TL;DR: Observations and numerical modeling reveal large fluctuations in the ocean heat available in the adjacent bay and enhanced sensitivity of ice-shelf melting to water temperatures at intermediate depth, as a seabed ridge blocks the deepest and warmest waters from reaching the thickest ice.

TL;DR: In this article, a transect between the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula and Kapp Norvegia was used to determine the structure of the Weddell gyre and its associated transports.

TL;DR: In the Weddell Sea, the authors of as discussed by the authors found that the outflow of young bottom water with the western boundary current of the Weddingell Gyre is dominated by a rather fresh water mass which obtains its thermohaline characteristics by mixing of deep water with a flow from the shelf in front of the Larsen Ice Shelf.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the flux of cold water over the sill at the northern end of the Filchner Depression (1.6 ± 0.5 Sv) and determine its fate, and identify three pathways for the cold shelf waters to enter the deep Weddell Sea circulation.

TL;DR: The circulation pattern and volume transports in the eastern Weddell gyre are estimated on the basis of hydrographic data collected by R.V. Polarstern between 1989 and 1996 as mentioned in this paper.
