Climate models have predicted that the ocean surrounding Antarctica should be warming, but new research shows that it's ...

As global temperatures warm, the Southern Ocean -- between Antarctica and other continents -- will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in ...

Extreme precipitation events in Antarctica, which are mostly dominated by snowfall due to sub-zero temperatures, also include rainfall, according to new research. BAS scientists studying ...

Researchers found increased meltwater and rain explain 60% of a decades-long mismatch between predicted and observed temperatures in the ocean around Antarctica.

Antarctica can be called a desert because of its lack of precipitation (this is the amount of rain, snow, sleet or hail that falls from the sky). It has less precipitation than any other desert ...

As global temperatures warm, the Southern Ocean – between Antarctica and other continents – will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in ...

Many people think of deserts like the Sahara, but Antarctica receives even less precipitation. Some parts of it, like the ...

As rising temperatures melt Antarctica's ice sheet and cause more precipitation, the Southern Ocean's upper layer is growing less salty—and thus, less dense. This creates a lid that limits the ...

Chile's Ministry of Agriculture declared on Friday an agriculture emergency in the extreme south Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica ... 8,8 mm of precipitation, very distant from the ...
