Antarctic Bottom Water (ABW) is a deep ocean water mass that forms in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. It is characterized by its cold temperature and high salinity, making it one of the densest water masses in the world's oceans. ABW is formed primarily through processes of sea ice formation and the cooling of surface waters near the Antarctic continent.
