mean polar front | sea ice and chlorophyll

Figure 1: The calculated mean path for the Antarctic Polar Front (white curve) is shown over the topography of the Southern Ocean [Smith, W. H. F., and D. T. Sandwell, Bathymetric prediction from dense satellite altimetry and sparse shipboard bathymetry, J. Geophys. Res., 99, 21,803-21,824, 1994].  Figure reproduced with permission from Moore et al.

Figure 2: Weekly sea ice coverage and chlorophyll concentration along 170 ^oW from 55-75 ^oS.  Each panel shows a weekly mean of the percentage of sea ice coverage (solid curve) and the chlorophyll concentration (asterisks) along 170 ^oW.  The 170 ^oW line is an average of +/- 1^o.  The text (eg. soicew9811) indicates the year (98) and week (11) for the panel, where week 01 is Jan 01-07.  Figure produced by J.K. Moore.
