Abstract

The article presents the study conducted by the research ship Polarstern in the Weddell Sea area in late 2014, particularly the material composition of the Weddell Sea Bottom Water (WSBW). Also studied are the basal melting rates for the ice shelf in southern Weddell Sea, the role of basal melt water in local Antarctic Bottom Water formation, and the temporal trends in glacial melting processes.
