The CSIR-SOCCO Southern Ocean Seasonal Cycle Experiment (SOSCEx) was planned around five cruises to the SAZ between the austral winter of 2012 and the late summer of 2013. Two autonomous Seagliders (SG574 and SG573) were deployed south of Gough Island in the South-East Atlantic Ocean at 42.4°S, 9.9°W and 43.0°S, 11°W, respectively. Their deployment occurred in the central SAZ region of the Southern Ocean. The gliders were deployed on 20 September 2012 and 25 September 2012, respectively and both were retrieved on 15 February 2013 resulting in continuous sampling for 148 and 143 days (or 5.5 months) per glider. ------ data from SG573 -> acc. # 0131501 ------
