Twelve sub-surface moorings were deployed in the Southern Ocean from late October 1997 until mid-March 1998.  Attached to these moorings were instruments that measured the water speed, direction, pressure, temperature, salinity, and conductivity at a nominal depth of approximately 70 m.   

This set of documents describes the mooring design, locations, instrument characteristics and data processing and format.  Access to the data is also provided.

This study is part of an ongoing research effort in the Southern Ocean by the Oregon State University (O.S.U.) Remote Sensing Ocean Optics (ORSOO) group.
