Fast ice distribution in Adelie land, east Antarctica: interannual variability and implications for Emperor penguins Aptenodytes forsteri.
There are
fast feedback changes in some things (e.g. sea
ice), and longer - continuing changes in other things (e.g. the Antarctic cap
ice; ocean circulation; plankton species frequency and
distribution; ocean pH; terrestrial rainfall and erosion).
These OMITTED / POORLY Represented processes include the following: oceanic eddies, tides, fronts, buoyancy - driven coastal and boundary currents, cold halocline, dense water plumes and convection, double diffusion, surface / bottom mixed layer, sea
ice — thickness
distribution, concentration, deformation, drift and export,
fast ice, snow cover, melt ponds and surface albedo, atmospheric loading, clouds and fronts,
ice sheets / caps and mountain glaciers, permafrost, river runoff, and air — sea
ice — land interactions and coupling.
