Atmospheric Response to Antarctic Coastal Polynyas

About this illustration

This illustration was created as the graphical abstract for the research article Atmospheric Response to Antarctic Coastal Polynyas published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres by Matthias Noël and colleagues at LOCEAN-IPSL (Sorbonne Université, Paris). The paper investigates the atmospheric response to Antarctic coastal polynyas using high-resolution atmospheric modeling.

The schematic illustrates the key atmospheric processes triggered by the opening of a coastal polynya in Antarctica.
