dcterms.accrualMethod To compare the current oceanographic conditions in the region with previous measurements, expendable conductivity temperature and depth probes (XCTDs; model XCTD-1, Tsurumi-Seiki Co.) were deployed. To demonstrate the reliability of the XCTD data, test casts were assessed against repeat casts using Sea- Bird SBE 37-SM MicroCAT CTD calibrated for cold-water conditions. A TSK TS-MK-21 expendable XCTD system was used to gather oceanographic data, which were recorded on a laptop com puter. en_US

unsw.relation.projectDesc The dramatic calving of the Mertz Glacier tongue in 2010, precipitated by the movement of iceberg B09B, reshaped the oceanographic regime across the Mertz Polynya and Commonwealth Bay, regions where high- 5 salinity shelf water (HSSW) – the precursor to Antarctic bottom water (AABW) – is formed. Here we present postcalving observations that suggest that this reconfiguration has driven the development of a new polynya off Commonwealth Bay, where HSSW production continues due to 10 the grounding of B09B. Supported by satellite observations and modelling, our findings demonstrate how local icescape changes may impact the formation of HSSW, with potential implications for large-scale ocean circulation. en_US
