Abstract
The Southern Ocean is an important part of the global climate system, absorbing carbon dioxide and heat to moderate the earth’s atmosphere. The Southern Ocean Time Series Observatory uses a set of automated moorings to measure these processes under the extreme conditions in the Southern Ocean, where they are most intense and least studied.  The processes occur on many timescales, from the day-night cycle up to ocean basin decadal oscillations, which requires high frequency observations sustained over many years.
