The southern cold temperate zone
The fall of surface temperature towards the south across the southern ocean is not as uniform as it usually appears in mean annual or seasonal temperature charts. In about 40° S it falls rather sharply from 16 to 12 °C in summer or from 12 to 8 °C in winter, and some 10° farther south there is anoth...
