Steve Rintoul (CSIRO O&A) | The Southern Ocean and overlying atmosphere have a profound influence on regional and global climate, sea level, biogeochemical cycles, and marine productivity. However, present-day models used for climate projections have large and persistent biases in the region. The goal of MISO is to improve our understanding of how the Southern Ocean region influences the Earth system and use this knowledge to improve models. The voyage will investigate how interactions between the atmosphere, ocean and biosphere control processes as diverse as cloud formation, iron supply to marine life, ocean carbon uptake, and the drivers of rapid change in the deep ocean. |
