Oceanographic survey was performed in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, from 25 January to 8 March 1967 aboard GLACIER and STATEN ISLAND. Oceanographic stations were occupied in the central part of the sea to complement previous work done by NAVOCEANO in the investigation of Circumpolar Water intrusion into the Ross Sea and at the annual ice forecasting station locations. Current meter arrays were moored at two locations for direct current readings, and a special bathymetric survey was conducted along the Victoria Land coast. Preliminary analysis of oceanographic station data indicates that the main intrusion of Circumpolar Water enters the Ross Sea at about 174W longitude and that bottom topography is an influencing factor in deflecting this water southward into the Ross Sea.

The Naval Oceanographic Office conducted an oceanographic survey in the Ross Sea from 25 February to 1 March 1969. Temperature and salinity data were obtained at the annual ice prediction stations along the shipping route to McMurdo and Hallett Stations, Antarctica. Twenty-three stations were taken. A comparison of 1969 data with data from 1967 and 1968 showed that each 1969 station exhibited approximately the same water structure as in the preceding 2 years, but temperatures were generally colder. Salinities at most stations were slightly lower than in the previous years. Those stations that showed higher salinities were ones at which new ice had already formed or was in the process of forming.

During February 1968, a two-phase operation was conducted in Antarctica by NAVOCEANO personnel. The first phase was a study of the currents in the McMurdo Sound region, and the second phase consisted of occupying the annual ice potential stations in the Ross Sea in support of NAVOCEANO's Antarctic Ice Prediction Program. Current measurements were made by tracking drogues and by mooring self-contained current meter arrays. Preliminary analysis of the drogue data indicates that currents in McMurdo Sound conform generally with the scheme outlined in H.O. Pub. 27 except for a southwest instead of a northwest drift into New Harbor. The data also indicate that the Cape Bird current may have been leaving the coast farther south than described.

The Naval Oceanographic Office conducted a two-phase oceanographic survey in the Ross Sea and McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, during February 1970. The first phase was a study of the currents in and near McMurdo Sound by implanting three current meter arrays. The second phase consisted of obtaining temperature and salinity data at 28 ice prediction stations in the western part of the Ross Sea. Only one current meter array was recovered; the other two arrays were lost as a result of newly formed ice and severe cold. Data from the current meter films have been transferred to magnetic tape for computer processing. As in the two previous years of the ice prediction survey, Antarctic Surface Water, Shelf Water, and Circumpolar Water were encountered in the 1970 survey. 'True' Winter Water similarly was not detected. (Author).

The era of the exploration of the World Ocean is not yet over: some areas still lack an adequate number of observations. The relationships between the physical, chemical and biological processes, which sustain the life on this planet, are not yet fully understood. In short, knowledge of the oceans is still far from satisfactory. This book covers an important period in the study of one of the last investigated areas of the World Ocean: the Ross Sea, Antarctica. During the 1990s, long-term experiments were conducted in this area as part of the Climatic Long-term Interaction for the Mass balance in Antarctica (CLIMA) project of the Italian National Programme for Antarctic Research (PNRA), providing a wealth of oceanographic information. This book is an outcome of the CLIMA field obser vations and international collaborations with the most important programmes in the Ross Sea-Southern Ocean area. It contributes to the st!ldies of the spatial and temporal variability of Ross Sea water masses and circulation and their relation ship with the Southern Ocean circulation. A comprehensive review of historical data is offered, and new data sets are analysed. The studies presented in this book show that much progress has been achieved during the last decade, but large gaps in our understanding of the physical processes in the Ross Sea are still to be filled. However, these studies contribute significantly to the investigation of some specific aspects regarding the circula tion of the main water masses.
