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."
