Linked from

The 19 pages that link to Antarctic Bottom Water, each with the reason it gives.

• Sea iceRelated: Brine released during sea-ice formation helps make surrounding seawater dense enough to sink.

• Southern OceanBroader topic: Its formation exports dense water from the Southern Ocean into the global deep ocean.

• Antarctic Circumpolar CurrentRelated: The current’s fronts and mixing influence how Antarctic waters enter the deep ocean.

• AntarcticaRelated: Its formation links Antarctic cooling and sea-ice processes to global ocean circulation.

• Antarctic ice sheetRelated: Freshwater from melting ice can influence the formation and circulation of this water mass.

• Ice shelfRelated: Shelf cavities and meltwater influence the formation and properties of this water.

• West Antarctic Ice SheetRelated: Freshwater from melting Antarctic ice can affect the formation and properties of this water mass.

• Antarctic sea iceRelated: Salt released during sea-ice formation helps create dense shelf waters that feed this mass.

• Ross Ice ShelfRelated: Processes in the Ross Sea, near the shelf, contribute to its formation.

• Climate change in AntarcticaRelated: Freshwater from melting ice can reduce its formation and alter deep-ocean circulation.

• Ross SeaRelated: The Ross Sea is a major source region for this globally circulating deep water.

• West AntarcticaRelated: Freshwater from melting West Antarctic ice can alter its formation and properties.

• Antarctic glaciationRelated: Ice formation and brine rejection help produce this deep water mass.

• Filchner–Ronne Ice ShelfRelated: Water produced near the shelf contributes to dense-water circulation in the Weddell Sea.

• Weddell SeaNarrower topic: Weddell Sea Bottom Water contributes to this continent-wide water mass.

• Southern Ocean overturning circulationBroader topic: Its formation is the sinking branch that carries Antarctic waters into the abyss.

• Amundsen SeaCompared with: Unlike the warm deep water reaching the shelf, it is not the main source of basal melt heat.

• Scotia SeaRelated: Deep basins in and around the Scotia Sea provide pathways for Antarctic bottom-water exchange.

• AntarcticRelated: Its formation links Antarctic processes to global deep-ocean circulation.
