“…This may explain why the apparent cold end-member of the central Weddell Gyre is more saline than the average WSBW formed in the southwestern and western Weddell Sea [Gordon, 1998]. This is similar to the conclusion of Fahrbach et al [1995] …”

“…As well as feeding the world's oceans by circulating cold bottom water, the Weddell Sea produces some of the coldest deep waters in the world. Weddell Sea Bottom Water is highly influential in the Weddell and Scotia Seas as a stable, dense and extreme cold water mass as low as -1.88°C (Carmack and Foster, 1975;Fahrbach et al, 1995;Smith et al, 1999). Flowing west into the Scotia Sea, bottom water acts as an important counter current to the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current.…”

This study suggests that subtle changes in the environment may lead to a divergence in the ecology of invertebrate populations and showcases the protobranch bivalves as a future model group for the study of speciation and radiation processes through cold-stenothermal environments.

“…This bimodal distribution of the properties and depth of WSDW along the transect suggests that WSDW overflowing the ridge west of 42.51W (the western edge of the Orkney Passage) has a ventilation history different from that of WSDW further east. Fahrbach et al (1995) document the formation of WSDW off the northern Larsen Ice Shelf (approximately 500 km upstream of the South Scotia Ridge) from low salinity shelf waters spilling over the continental shelf edge and entraining WDW in the Weddell Gyre. They show that, immediately upstream of the Powell Basin (middle panel in their Fig.…”

“…From its primary source regions in the southwestern and western Weddell Sea (Fahrbach et al, 1995;Whitworth et al, 1998;Orsi et al, 1999), WSDW flows northward and eastward following the cyclonic Weddell Gyre (Orsi et al, 1993;Fahrbach et al, 1994). It may then escape the northern rim of the gyre through topographic clefts (Nowlin and Zenk, 1988;Locarnini et al, 1993), entering the Scotia Sea, or spread north over the South Sandwich Trench and the abyssal plains to the east (Orsi et al, 1993).…”

An unprecedented high-quality, quasi-synoptic hydrographic data set collected during the ALBATROSS cruise along the rim of the Scotia Sea is examined to describe the pathways of the deep water masses flowing through the region, and to quantify changes in their properties as they cross the sea. Owing to sparse sampling of the northern and southern boundaries of the basin, the modification and pathways of deep water masses in the Scotia
