... the Antarctic continental shelf is relatively narrow and the Southern Ocean reaches up to 7,200 m depth. As a result, Arctic sea ice is more closely linked to the benthic environment than in the Antarctic (e.g., Thomas, 2017 ). Secondly, differences in seasonality and formation processes lead to key contrasts...

... factors influence air quality in different parts of the Southern Hemisphere. Finally, we describe the key role of the Southern Ocean in influencing atmospheric chemistry and conclude with a description of the aims and scope of the newly formed IGAC Southern Hemisphere Working Group.
