Short summary
Qeqertarsuup Tunua (Disko Bay) is a key ecosystem in West Greenland, yet its circulation remained largely unstudied. Combining thirty years of ocean reanalysis data with observations from drifting icebergs, a float, and mooring measurements to the south, we find the circulation reverses seasonally, flowing one way in summer-autumn and reversing in winter-spring. Driven by shifting winds, this reversal governs how much heat reaches the bay and shapes conditions for ecological productivity.

Short summary
Understanding marine responses to warmer, more acidic oceans is difficult because ocean conditions often change continuously, while biological responses may shift between distinct periods. We addressed this challenge by developing a method. Tests with simulated biological records showed that it accurately estimated the specified rates and directions and detected shifts in most tested cases. The method can help monitoring programmes compare changes across species, ecosystems and locations.

The Barents Sea is a major route for Atlantic Water to enter the Arctic. Cold air cools incoming Atlantic Water before it exits to the Arctic through the St. Anna Trough. We derive the first long-term estimate of the heat leaving the Barents Sea through St. Anna Trough. The heat leaving has increased since 1980, but only by half as much as the increase in heat entering. Finally, we present evidence for a previously proposed "ocean feedback" mechanism to help cool inflowing Atlantic Water.

Sea ice around Antarctica contains much more iron than the surrounding ocean, but how this iron becomes trapped in ice has been unclear. We used a computer model to show that tiny ice crystals forming in turbulent winter waters can collect iron from seawater and concentrate it in newly formed ice. When this ice melts, it can release a short but intense pulse of iron that helps fuel ocean life and supports the Southern Ocean’s role in regulating climate.

Moored observations confirm that strong ocean surface stress events ("storms'') can increase the speed of the Antarctic Slope Current and the circulation in the Filchner Trough region. Roughly 25 % of the identified storm events also cause an increased southward current speed on the continental shelf. Such enhanced circulation on the shelf increases the likelihood that warm summer inflow reaches the Filchner Ice Front and cavity before it is lost to the atmosphere during winter.

We created the first standardised dataset of in-situ ocean measurements time series from around Antarctica collected since 1970s. This includes temperature, salinity, pressure, and currents recorded by instruments deployed in icy, challenging conditions. Our analysis highlights the dominance of tidal currents and separates these from other patterns to study regional energy distribution. This unique dataset offers a foundation for future research on Antarctic ocean dynamics and ice interactions.

Recent studies have highlighted the potential vulnerability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to atmospheric and oceanic changes. We present new insights from observations from three oceanic moorings below Fimbulisen Ice Shelf from 2009 to 2023. We find that relatively warm water masses reach below the ice shelf both close to the surface and at depth with implications for the basal melting of Fimbulisen.

Antarctica's ice shelves are melting from below as ocean currents bring warm water into the ice shelf cavities. The melt rates of the large Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in the southern Weddell Sea are currently low, as the water in the cavity is cold. Here, we present data from a scientific cruise to the region in 2021 and show that the warmest water at the upper part of the continental slope is now about 0.1°C warmer than in previous observations, while the surface water is fresher than before.

Short summary
Ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea are thinning rapidly as ocean currents bring warm water into cavities beneath the floating ice. We use 2-year-long mooring records and 16-year-long model simulations to describe the hydrography and circulation near the ice front between Siple and Carney Islands. We find that temperatures here are lower than at neighboring ice fronts and that the transport of heat toward the cavity is governed by wind stress over the Amundsen Sea continental shelf.

Short summary
New hydrographic observations from Disko Bay, Greenland, focus on the previously undersampled autumn to spring seasons. Data collected between 2022 and 2024 reveal seasonal inflow of warm, salty Atlantic water from Baffin Bay, as well as seasonal and spatial variability within cooler Polar Water. The findings establish a framework for interpreting physical variability within Disko Bay and its connection to the west Greenland coastal system.
