Description
Summary:This project maintains an array of oceanographic moorings south of the South Orkney Islands in the Northwest Weddell Sea to provide a time series of the properties of the combined outflow of Antarctic Deep and Bottom Water drawn from various sites within the Weddell Sea. The goal of this project is to observe the properties of the Weddell deep and bottom waters as they exit the Weddell system. The data obtained over the course of a decade and more can be used to better understand deep water formation and long term changes in ocean circulation and their relation to the climate system.
