What are the impacts on the Antarctic climate system caused by a shift of the cyclonic activity over the Southern [...] analysed. The specific model configuration allows us to simulate the feedback between the Antarctic atmosphere and the Southern Ocean in a changing climate taking the vertical coupling between the stratosphere [...] forcing conditions, and its impacts on the climatic system of Antarctica. By means of a multi-model ensemble the southern hemisphere cyclone development towards the end of this century will be estimated

The proposed project aims at understanding the current [...] most accurately quantify the temporally-varying AntIS mass balance within the satellite era, and separate it from the GIA contributions in the data sets. The past evolution of the ice sheet will be simulated [...] within the range of uncertainties in the assimilated model runs. The project uniquely employs geodetic and geologic data to bridge between the present and past climate-driven evolutions of the AntIS.

Projektbeschreibung The oceans and the climate system appear to be changing in many different aspects. The rapidly retreating summer sea ice cover in the Arctic and the increasing westerlies in the Southern Ocean [...] consequences for the uptake of CO2 by the polar oceans. In the Southern Ocean, a decrease of the CO2 sink was suggested due to enhanced upwelling of deep waters. Northward eddy transport across the Antarctic [...] utilized to describe the physical characteristics of the eddies, and to calculate anthropogenic CO2. In the Arctic Ocean, we want to investigate the physical and biogeochemical components of the Arctic Ocean carbon

During the same time, the opening of the Southern Ocean gateways, the Drake Passage and the Tasman Gateway, led to the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar [...] Current and hence to the isolation of the Antarctic continent. Apart from the oceanic regime, other global phenomena such as the declining atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and the orbital configuration [...] d to the onset of a persistent Antarctic glaciation.
