The upward flux of heat from the subsurface core of Warm Deep Water
(WDW) to the perennially ice-covered sea surface over the continental slope in the
western Weddell Sea is estimated using data obtained during February-June 1992
from a drifting ice station. Through the permanent pycnocline the diapycnal heat
flux...
The upper ocean current and temperature fields in the western Weddell Sea were measured from the drifting pack ice at Ice Station Weddell 1 (ISW) and nearby sites using a vertical profiler and an array of moored sensors in January–June 1992. These data document the structure and variability of the...
