Energy transfer by the atmosphere and the Southern Ocean
Our knowledge of the meteorology of the Southern Ocean depends mainly on ships’ observations, but these are limited in both number and quality. Many meteorological elements are difficult to observe from a moving ship and some, such as rainfall and snowfall, seem impossible. Nevertheless, synoptic an...

| Summary: | Our knowledge of the meteorology of the Southern Ocean depends mainly on ships’ observations, but these are limited in both number and quality. Many meteorological elements are difficult to observe from a moving ship and some, such as rainfall and snowfall, seem impossible. Nevertheless, synoptic analyses for the Southern Hemisphere are produced daily, though they cannot be analyzed as objectively as many meteorologists would like. The general features of the weather of the Southern Ocean have become clear and are well described in the literature. |
