SCALE Winter 2019

First leg of the SCALE programme (Southern oCean seAsonaL Experiment, http://scale.org.za). SCALE is a novel interdisciplinary experiment sponsored by DST-NRF through the South African National Antarctic Programme in the south east Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. SCALE contributes experimental observations at multiple scales and integrates multiple disciplines towards a greater understanding of the phasing and magnitude of the Southern Ocean seasonal cycle.

All SCALE cruises encompasses multiple disciplines, combining ocean and sea ice observations.
