New paper: we show that variability in the Zonal Wave-3 mode - an atmospheric pattern made up of three pairs of cyclones and anticyclones circling the Southern Hemisphere - does influence the formation and export of dense waters around Antarctica over multiple years.

The Antarctic dense water overflows can be monitored from space. We detailed in @ConversationEDU why we think it's exciting:
Satellites can now track the deep ocean currents around Antarctica that could accelerate climate change.
Tiny dips in sea level reveal flow of climate-regulating underwater waterfalls

New paper out in @commsearth.bsky.social ! We show how satellite altimeters can help us monitor the dense water export from the Antarctic Margins.

Being able to monitor the overflow of #Antarctic dense waters from the continental shelf to deeper open waters is critically important, but has long been a major challenge for scientists.

New research from @matthisauger.bsky.social could be a game-changer ⬇️
