In this study, the spatiotemporal distributions of these dynamic sea ice deformation features in the Ross Sea are examined using ICESat-2 (IS2) ATL10 freeboard data (2019–2022). The temporal variation of the modal sea ice thickness (SIT), caused by thermodynamic ice growth and sea ice advection, varies from 0.7–1.0 m in April to 1.0–1.6 m in July–September and decreases thereafter in the northwest (NW) and northeast (NE) sectors. This temporal variation of modal SIT agrees with the air temperature (correlation coefficients &gt;0.5). The southwest (SW) sector shows a consistently low modal SIT (&lt;1.0 m) because of the production of new ice in polynyas and continuous northward sea ice drift. Meanwhile, the southeast (SE) sector shows the thickest ice in Octobers 2019 and 2020 because of the advection of thick ice from the Amundsen Sea, which was reduced in 2021 and 2022. In terms of dynamic sea ice deformation, the SE sector shows the largest deformation because of the wind-driven convergence of sea ice movement. However, such intense deformation in the SE sector diminished in 2021 and 2022 due to the dominance of strong southerly wind associated with the Amundsen Sea Low (ASL).

Two fields campaigns were carried out to determine the settling velocity and properties of suspended sediments during a semi-diurnal tidal cycle, as well as hydrodynamic conditions and water properties. The two sampling stations were representative of two regions: a tidal river dominated by fresh water and an estuary affected by salty or brackish waters. A high spatial variability of the settling velocity was observed along the fluvial-estuarine system and vertically along the water column. Settling velocities ranged from 0.02 to 0.4 mm/s. This study confirms that in hyper-turbid systems, the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is predominantly driving the settling dynamics of suspended sediment. Threshold concentrations have been defined for the flocculation and hindered regimes where the settling velocity may vary by one order of magnitude. Although in natural environments it is difficult to distinguish between the effects of SSC and turbulence (as they are correlated), in the Gironde-Garonne system the turbulent shear G seems to affect the settling of suspended sediment to a lower extent. Settling velocity variations cannot be directly correlated to salinity or organic matter content.

Using a data assimilating biogeochemical ocean model we show that SO phytoplankton productivity is highly sensitive to differences in background diapycnal mixing over short timescales. Changes in the background vertical mixing rates alter key biogeochemical and physical conditions. The greatest changes to the distribution of physical and biogeochemical tracers occur in regions with very strong tracer vertical gradients.

Based on the high resolution model output (LLC4320), this study investigates the characteristics of submesoscale fronts in the northern BoB and associated compensation/reinforcement effects. At sea surface, horizontal gradients of salinity and density are remarkable in the northern BoB, and they are nearly 3 times larger than temperature gradients. As the depth deepens, temperature gradients increase and become comparable to salinity gradients, while density gradients decrease a lot due to the increasing effects of compensation at subsurface. Statistical results show the dominance of salinity-controlled fronts over temperature-controlled fronts, and compensated fronts over reinforced fronts. The surface cooling/heating results in significant temporal variation of compensation at surface, but this variation is limited at subsurface by the blocking of the mixed layer base. The submesoscale-selective feature of compensation is much more pronounced at subsurface layer than surface layer. From statistical analysis and idealized numerical model, we found the slump of salinity-controlled compensated fronts are important in generating temperature inversion and maintaining barrier layer. This study validates the compensation theories originating from observations, and further illustrates the importance of subsurface compensated fronts using spatially continuous, regionally extended and longer-term model output.
