SOCCOM researchers are co-authors on a new workshop report, “Future Priorities for Observing the Dynamics of the Southern Ocean.” The NSF-funded workshop, "Observing the Dynamics of the Southern Ocean: Present Challenges and Future Strategies" was held on 17–19 April 2024, at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Attendees were tasked to highlight recent advances in Southern Ocean physical oceanographic research, identify key knowledge gaps, and outline an ambitious but achievable set of research and observational priorities for the coming years.
