Recent Data

  1. Long-term Observation of current, temperature, salinity profile using moored system in Little American Basin, Ross Sea(2023-2025)

    In order to understand the role of CDW (Circumpolar Deep Water) in controlling the hydrodynamics and related biochemical processes on the continental shelf of the Ross Sea, 4 moored lines along with CTD sensors, current profilers for the long-term observation were deployed at 4 different positions in Little American Basin to entrance of continetal shelf during 2022-23 Antarctic Cruise(ANA13B). Series of salinity-conductivity probes and acoustic doppler current profilers(ADCPs) were attached to each line depending on the depth and location. Those moorings were recovered during 2024-25 Anatarcic Cruise(ANA15B) in January, 2025, successfully. Recovered data covered approximately 2 years period(Feb 2023 - Jan. 2025).

  2. Long-term Observation of current, temperature, salinity profile using moored system in Southeast Indian Ridge (2021-2025)

    In order to understand physical process of polar front heat flux of ACC at Southeast Indian Ridge, 1 moored lines aling with 5 CTD senseors, 5 current meters for the long-term observation, were deployed during 2021-22 Antarctic Cruise(ANA12A). Series of salinity-conductivity probes and acoustic doppler current sensrs were attached to moored line at five separate depth. The mooring was recovered during 2024-25 Anatarcic Cruise(ANA15B) in January, 2025, successfully. Recovered data covered approximately 3 years period(Nov. 2021 - Feb. 2025).

  3. LADCP Data in the Ross Sea, Antarctica in 2025

    In order to understand the role of CDW (Circumpolar Deep Water) in controlling the hydrodynamics and related biochemical processes on the continental shelf of the Ross Sea, the oceanographic research was conducted in January 17-25, 2025. The vertical current profile were obtained at 30 stations using Lowered ADCP and Rosette water sampler. In order to identify the temporal and spatial distribution of CDW on the Ross shelf and estimate the heat transport and its effect on the melting of ice shelves by CDW intrusion. The oceanographic investigation was conducted using ship (ARAON) at 30 stations in 2024-25 Antarctic Cruise(ANA15B).

  2. New Catalogue of Thwaites Glacier Subglacial Lakes and Their Activity Revealed by CryoSat-2 Altimetry

    This dataset presents a new catalogue of active subglacial lakes beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, identified using CryoSat-2 satellite radar altimetry. It details the boundaries, areas, and elevation changes of each lake, complete with 95% confidence intervals. The dataset also contains estimates of ice speed changes in the TG's grounding zone.
