#Antarctic expedition reveals why #SouthernOcean #clouds remain one of #climateScience's greatest challenges
Researchers compare real-world observations with leading #climateModels to improve future climate predictions -
Earth hums! This is pretty cool: “Scientists first recorded Earth's low-frequency "hum" in the 1960s, but its origin was a mystery.
“Now it is believed the noise is caused by ocean swells generated in the Southern Ocean, the sound of which echoes across the planet.”

New study led by South African scientists reveals how sea-ice #microbes survive the #SouthernOcean’s harsh winter, with implications for #climateChange
This study further reinforces the importance of the Southern Ocean marginal ice zone as a critical hotspot for global #sulfur cycling where #biogeochemical processes for climate regulation are enhanced.https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1132072

✧ blue petrel ✧
The blue petrel (Halobaena caerulea) is a small seabird in the family Procellariidae, the only member of its genus. It is distributed across the Southern Ocean but breeds at only six known sites, all close to the Antarctic Convergence zone. Its plumage is predominantly blue-grey, with an "M" banding across its top, ...

#US to lose ground in #Antarctica after pulling out last research #ship, scientists say
#Scientists said the loss hinders their work and diminishes America’s leading presence on the continent. The #NSF said it continues to support Antarctic research.
U.S. Antarctic Program has had at least one dedicated research vessel in the #SouthernOcean for almost six decades.
NSF said in its 2026 budget request it would terminate lease of Palmer #icebreaker.

'Death Ball' Sponge and Glowing Worms Among Creatures Discovered in #SouthernOcean
Scientists have discovered 30 new species in the deep recesses of the Southern #Ocean, including iridescent scale worms and a carnivorous “death ball” sponge.
The small, round sponge, of the genus #Chondrocladia, is covered in tiny hooks that trap prey, according to the Nippon Foundation–Nekton Ocean Census, which confirmed the discoveries.

The #SouthernOcean’s low-salinity water locked away #CO2 for decades, but...
An AWI study gives a potential explanation as to why the ocean around #Antarctica is defying climate model projections and continuing to absorb CO2, despite the effects of #climateChange -
💡New paper!
Ocean models often struggle to simulate accurate #SouthernOcean circulation, resulting in unrealistic warm conditions. Check out how Leith viscosity parameterisations in NEMO improves the Antarctic circumpolar circulation to model more realistic #oceantemperatures.👉 Find out more: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2025MS004950

uneventful but exhausting 36 hrs and in Copenhagen for a meeting.
the #CarbonGuilt is there but obviously not enough to stop me travelling 🙄 - but it is an important workshop with just a few handfuls of the leading lights planning #Antarctic #SouthernOcean research for the next decade ... so... here I am. #climate #oceans
