Description:

This study analyzed shipboard air-sea measurements acquired by the icebreaker Aurora Australis during its off-winter operation in December 2010 to May 2012. Mean conditions over 7 months (October– April) were compiled from a total of 22 ship tracks. The icebreaker traversed the water between Hobart, Tas- mania, and the Antarctic continent, providing valuable in situ insight into two dynamically important, yetpoorly sampled, regimes: the sub-Antarctic Southern Ocean and the Antarctic marginal ice zone (MIZ) in the Indian Ocean sector. The transition from the open water to the ice-covered surface creates sharp changes in albedo, surface roughness, and air temperature, leading to consequential effects onair-sea variables and ﬂuxes. Major effort was made to estimate the air-sea ﬂuxes in the MIZ using the bulk ﬂux algorithms that are tuned speciﬁcally for the sea-ice effects, while computing the ﬂuxes over the sub-Antarctic
