💪 A superpower of the Southern Ocean is taking up heat and carbon from humans and slowing the rate of global warming, by exchanging heat and carbon between the atmosphere and the deep ocean. 🔄 The freeze-and-melt cycle of sea ice drives this exchange by changing water density and acting as a pump.

🌀The stratospheric polar vortex is a belt of high-speed cyclonic winds around 12-20km high over the poles. When temperatures in the stratosphere – which contains the ozone layer – start rising in the southern spring, the ozone hole over the Antarctic grows. 2025 ozone: @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social

🌨️ Clouds over the cold Southern Ocean are different from elsewhere. Here they're seeded not by aerosols from land, but from the ocean—and even life itself. Chelsea Bekemeier, on the Denman Marine Voyage #DMV in East #Antarctica, explains. Full video at youtu.be/nGpVrJQkIaE

🐚 AAPP PhD student @utas.edu.au Nia Riengchan studies how acidification of the Southern Ocean affects the shell-building of small planktonic snails called 'sea butterflies'. Now, for the first time, she's able to watch their babies develop. 🌊 Full #DMV video at youtu.be/1fTlpTQTOOc 🎞️ P Harmsen/AAD
