Examination of the water mixing processes, water temperature and zooplankton species assemblage under the Ross Ice Shelf

Entry ID: K007_1976_1978_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The water under the Ross Ice Shelf was investigated over two seasons through a hole drilled in the ice. In the first season, an ice hole near White Island was used to access the water under the ice shelf. A temperature-depth recorder was used to investigate the microstructure of the water under the Ross Ice Shelf with a view to understanding the mixing processes. A special dredge was designed to ...
