#Southern Ocean AI | Artificial Intelligence for Southern Ocean

#Digital Twin of Southern Ocean

#Supergyre

#Super ocean current

#Ocean circulation

#Connecting main ocean basins of Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean

#Antarctic Circumpolar Current

#Marine biodiversity

#Isolating Antarctic fauna

#Weddell gyre

#Ross gyre

#Gyre distributes heat between equator and poles

#Gyre playspart in upwelling of deep, cold ocean waters to surface

#Southern Ocean is shaped like ring and not bounded by land

#Weddell and Ross gyres are part of aomplex global ocean circulation

#Machine learning algorithm

#Seamount

#Identifying icebergs

#Iceberg calving

#Tracking icebergs throughout their lifecycle until their demise

#Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

#Microwave signal transmitted from space

#Intensity of reflected radiation measured

#Crystalline structure of ice and snow on iceberg surface show up as strong, bright signals in satellite images

#Images collected day or night and through cloud cover

#AI algorithms performed on different satellite images taken over12-month period

#Amundsen Sea Embayment

#Thwaites Glacier

#West Antarctic Ice Sheet

#Calving of icebergs from ice sheet into Southern Ocean

#Increasing levels of calving signal increasing contribution to sea level rise

#AI approach to identify changes in numbers, size and pathways of icebergs as consequences of climate change

#Digital Twins

#Automated underwater vehicles

#Polar science

#Artificial intelligence (AI) combined with physical oceanography
