The Southern Ocean play a key role in regulating sea level rise and our global climate. These regions are also some of the most challenging to conduct sustained observational programs due to the immense logistical difficulties in accessing them. Building on the success of large international ongoing observations efforts (such as Southern Ocean Carbon Climate Observations and Modelling and the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration), the need to reassess and align future US-led research and observational priorities for Southern Ocean physical oceanography is pressing. This project will host a workshop to discuss priorities for future US-led Southern Ocean science, emphasizing year-round observational approaches that can monitor the rapidly evolving sea ice-covered regions and Antarctic margins.While there have been substantial advances in our understanding of the Southern Ocean’s dynamics in recent years, local processes that govern the uptake of heat and carbon uptake, sea ice variability, and ice sheet stability are among the greatest sources of uncertainty in global climate models. A critical gap is the lack of consistent year-round observational measurements of the subpolar Southern Ocean. This workshop will facilitate community discussion concerning (1) key scientific and logistic needs to sustain the US’s leadership in Antarctic oceanography; (2) promising new observational approaches that extend measurements into traditionally limited winter periods; (3) ways to strengthen the research community, both by enhancing participation from traditionally underrepresented groups (including early career researchers) and improving the level coordination with international partners. The workshop, while primarily focused on physical oceanography, will convene researchers from various Southern Ocean subdisciplines and ensure participation that reflects the diversity of the broader scientific community. A summary document of the workshop’s activities and recommendations will be compiled and disseminated within two months of the event’s conclusion.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

南洋在规范海平面上升和我们的全球气候方面发挥了关键作用。由于访问它们的巨大后勤困难，这些地区也是执行持续观察计划的最挑战。基于大型国际持续观察工作的成功（例如南大洋碳气候观察和建模以及国际Thwaites冰川合作）的基础，需要重新评估和对齐未来的美国领导的南洋物理海洋学研究和观察性优先事项。该项目将举办一个研讨会，讨论未来美国领导的南海科学的优先事项，强调了全年的观察方法，这些方法可以监测迅速发展的海洋覆盖区域和南极边缘的快速发展，而我们近年来对南方海洋动态的理解已经取得了很大的进步，这些过程中的热量和冰上的影响是冰上的繁殖，冰上的可变性是冰镇的销售，而冰的尤其是冰的阳光，冰上的生动性是冰镇的，并且是冰上的卵形，并且是冰上的，冰的尤其是冰的阳光，并且是冰上的冰镇。在全球气候模型中。一个关键的差距是缺乏一致的全年观测测量值对南方海洋。该研讨会将促进有关（1）维持美国在南极海洋学领导的关键科学和后勤需求的社区讨论； （2）有希望的新观察方法将测量范围扩展到传统上有限的冬季； （3）通过加强传统代表性不足的群体（包括早期职业研究人员）的参与并改善与国际合作伙伴的水平协调来加强研究界的方法。该研讨会主要专注于物理海洋学，但将便于来自各种南大洋子学科的研究人员，并确保参与反映更广泛的科学界的多样性。该研讨会的活动和建议的摘要文件将在活动结束后的两个月内进行编译和传播。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，通过评估被认为是珍贵的支持。
