The Southern Ocean
The Southern Ocean is the expanse of ocean encircling the Antarctic continent. Often it is defined as all ocean areas south of 35°S (e.g., Chelton et al. 1990) or 40°S (e.g., Mestas-Nuñez et al. 1992). Because of its vast size, encompassing nearly 30% of the global ocean, because of its notoriously...
