Where is densest water formed

Convection carries the signal of salinity variability into the deep ocean, where it interacts with Modified Circumpolar Deep Water upwelled onto the continental shelf as the second source water mass of HSSW. Sea ice formation on the Ross Sea continental shelf thus drives the vertical propagation of the signal rather than determining the signal itself.
