| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Freshening of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) associated with freshening of sea surface water has been reported in recent years. In order to evaluate the effects of freshening of AABW to the Global deep circulation, hydrographic observations, long term mooring observations and turbulence measurements were carried out around 110 E and 140 E in January of 2012 to 2015. We found Bottom Water originating from the Vincennes Bay Polynya (VBBW) in the first time. Our observation also showed that the VBBW has spread into the upper part of AABW in Australia-Antarctica Basin. Freshening of Bottom water was also indicated off the Vincennes Bay region. Especially, the data obtained in January of 2014 showed that the VBBW has a potential to sink down to the ocean floor when the water density of surrounding AABW was reduced by freshening and warming.
