Upper Océan Thermal Structure and Fronts Between New Zealand and the Ross Sea
75
XBT launches during the “R/V Italica” route tracks between New Zealand and
the Ross Sea are continuing to be executed, so it will be possible to hâve information on the interannual variability of the upper océan température in this area.
Acknowledgements. This work was carried out in the framework of the Italian
National Programme for Antartic Research (PNRA), whose support is gratefully
acknowledged. Thanks are due to the many persons who collaborated in the XBT
launching from the “R/V Italica”.
