EUR-OCEANS Southern Ocean System General Objectives:
The Southern Ocean System is working to...
- Unite substantial but fragmented polar research capabilities
- Develop an integrated approach to Southern Ocean research
- Facilitate the development of models linking large scale climatic processes, local scale ocean physics and anthropogenic forcing with biogeochemistry, food web dynamics and ecosystem structure
To achieve this, the Southern Ocean System is working in partnership with the new international multidisciplinary programme entitled
ICED is also leading a cluster of projects under ICED-IPY for the The International Polar Year IPY 2007-2008
