520 3# ‡aDescribes circulation and seasonal development of upper ocean in seasonal ice zone (SIZ) of Australian sector of Southern Ocean from early spring to autumn. Circulation in region is dominated by southern branch of Polar Front (PF-S); northern branch of Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current front (aACCf-N) which roughly corresponds with winter sea ice edge; and the closely-spaced southern branch of sACCf, southern boundary of ACC, and Antarctic Slope Front (ASF). Vigorous cyclonic eddies were identified between sACCf-N and sACCf-S throughout the period. Changes in salinity made dominant contribution to changes in density in SIZ, and changes in temperature made largest contribution to density changes north of sACCf. Depth of mixed layer shoaled to South, and decrease in mixed layer depth occurred in series of steps. Seasonal variability in depth of mixed layer was strongest north of sACCf, where summer warming formed strong seasonal thermocline above relatively deep winter water layer. In SIZ mixed layer became warmer, fresher and lighter in summer but depth of mixed layer remained at about 50 m throughout year. Freshest surface water were in SIZ in January immediately following melt and retreat of sea ice pack. Mixed layer salinity increase from January to March probably reflects effect of mixing with saltier waters below mixed layer. Mixed layer depths south of ASF were highly variable, both within and between seasons.
