An overview of the biogeochemical features of the Southern Ocean during the International Polar Year

In the framework of the IPY (ICED, GEOTRACES & CASO), several multidisciplinarycruises took place in the Southern Ocean (France: Bonus Goodhope; The Netherlands/Germany: Zero & Drake Germany ANT-XXIV/2: Australia: SR3, SAZ-SENSE andSIPEX USA: IS6 CLIVAR). The quasi-synopticity of these cruis...

Description
Summary:In the framework of the IPY (ICED, GEOTRACES & CASO), several multidisciplinarycruises took place in the Southern Ocean (France: Bonus Goodhope; The Netherlands/Germany: Zero & Drake Germany ANT-XXIV/2: Australia: SR3, SAZ-SENSE andSIPEX USA: IS6 CLIVAR). The quasi-synopticity of these cruises has the potential toprovide a unique picture of the biogeochemical functioning of the Southern Ocean. Abrief overview of the preliminary biogeochemical features in the Southern Ocean duringthe International Polar Year will be presented.
