  • South Africa Is Getting Stronger In Climate, Carbon And Ecosystem Research In The Southern Ocean

    Main Author: Dr. Sandy Thomalla

    CO2 is a greenhouse gas which means that it absorbs outgoing long wave radiation and in so doing warms the atmosphere. Of the approximately 3 billion tonnes of CO pumped into the atmosphere annually by human activities, about half stays there, warming the planet through the greenhouse effect. The rest is soaked up by natural processes, more-or-less Continue Reading

  • Robot to test health of ocean ‘lungs’

    Main Author: Dr. Seb Swart, Dr. Pedro Monteiro

    They are heading out past the breakwater to deploy this wave glider, which will begin its month-long journey to the Southern Ocean, and they are racing against the oncoming storm. These storms are part of the reason that the Southern Ocean is one of the most under-researched in the world, even though it absorbs almost Continue Reading

  • Ocean Gliders Battle Southern Ocean In Order To Capture The Seasonal Cycle

    Main Author: Dr. Seb Swart

    Their previous long term mission, the Southern Ocean Seasonal Cycle Experiment (SOSCEx, Swart et al., 2012) was conducted between September 2012 and March 2013, when five state-of-the-art autonomous Seagliders were deployed in the Southern Ocean from aboard South Africa’s newest polar ship, the SA Agulhas II. The gliders observed the SAZ region of the SE Continue Reading
