What Does ADAM Stand For?
ADAM stands for Average Depleted Antarctic Meltwater
ADAM, or Average Depleted Antarctic Meltwater, refers to the average water that results from the melting of Antarctic ice, characterized by lower concentrations of certain isotopes and nutrients compared to surrounding seawater. This term is significant in oceanographic and climate studies, helping researchers understand the impact of glacial melt on ocean circulation, sea-level rise, and overall marine ecosystems. Analyses of ADAM contribute to our knowledge of climate change and its effects on polar regions and global oceanic processes.
