Summary: | The Southern Ocean plays a fundamental role in thefunction of the Earth System, influencing climate, sea level,biogeochemical cycles, and biological productivity on avariety of scales. Observations from the Southern Oceansuggest that dramatic changes are taking place, which are ofglobal concern, yet because of its remote location, seasonalsea ice, and harsh environment, the Southern Ocean remainsone of the least sampled zones in the world. |
