Abstract
Measuring the surface mixed layer of the
Southern Ocean is technically difficult due to the extreme
weather conditions. A novel mooring with a surface
expression has recently achieved engineering success in this
harsh environment over a 6-month deployment. The
mooring was the result of numerous prototypes and utilises
a mixed design which includes a taut deep section, a long S-tether,
a large mass/damper and bungee cords suspended
from a small buoy to decouple surface wave action from the
instrument package.
