Chinese scientists retrieved deep-sea data from Antarctica, advancing climate and ocean circulation understanding.
Chinese scientists on the Xuelong research vessel retrieved a year-long deep-sea mooring in Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea, collecting data on temperature, salinity, currents, and sinking particles.
The findings enhance understanding of polynyas—persistent sea ice openings that drive the formation of Antarctic Bottom Water, fueling global ocean circulation and climate regulation.
These areas also support major algal blooms that sustain marine life and sequester carbon, contributing to the biological carbon pump.
China has gathered such data since 2003, helping assess climate change impacts on Antarctic systems and improving global climate predictions.
Los científicos chinos recuperaron datos de aguas profundas de la Antártida, avanzando en la comprensión del clima y la circulación oceánica.
