| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Formation of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) caused by high sea-ice production in coastal polynyas is detailed mainly for the East Antarctica. For the Cape Darnley polynya, the second highest ice production area in the Southern Ocean, the high ice production process through underwater frazil ice formation, and mixing/modification processes of dense water into AABW are clarified by mooring observations. For the Mertz polynya, which was the third ice production area, the ice production has decreased by as much as 50%, due to the glacier tongue calving, resulting in a significant decrease in AABW production. Formation of AABW is also suggested around the polynyas in Prydz Bay and Vincennes Bay in the East Antarctica. The balance between the polynya ice production (positive effect) and melting ice shelves (negative effect) is likely a key factor for the AABW formation.
