Antarctic Bottom Water - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Antarctic Bottom Water ( AABW ) is a type of water mass in the seas surrounding Antarctica with temperatures ranging from 0 to -0.8◦ C, salinities from 34.6 to 34.7 psu, and a density near 27....

Divergence south of the zone of maximum wind speed, south of 50°S leads to upwelling of the Circumpolar Deep Water. Convergence north of the zone of maximum winds leads to downwelling of the Antarctic intermediate water.

Hundreds of new marine species have been found living in the cold, dark water around Antarctica. In 50 trawls of the deep water of the Weddell Sea, scientists were surprised to find more than 700 previously ... new species found in the deep water off Antarctica (10 pictures)

e. Most of Earth’s water (97%) is in the ocean [. ... g. There are deep ocean ecosystems that are independent of energy from sunlight and photosynthetic organisms. Hydrothermal vents, submarine hot springs, methane cold seeps, and whale falls rely only on chemical energy and chemosynthetic organisms to support life.

Studies have shown significant geographic variability in the magnitude of the later effect depending on the depth, degree of vertical mixing, ocean-atmosphere interaction (regulated by sea ice cover), and location of the water mass relative to the Antarctic convergence (Gordon and Harkness, 1992).

British Antarctic Survey, ... A sediment drift has developed on the seabed since the early-middle Miocene, coincident with the opening of Drake Passage and the inception of deep-water flow. Seismic and acoustic surveys show that the drift covers an area of 10,500 km 2 and forms a broadly asymmetrical mound up to 800 m thick.
