| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify the air-sea ice CO_2 flux in the Southern Ocean, we carried out field experiments during the cruise on the icebreaker Shirase in the seasonal sea ice zone in the Southern Ocean from November 2009 to March 2010. The results obtained in this study would shed light towards understanding the role of sea ice in biogeochemical cycling in the Southern Ocean. This study provides valuable information on the carbon balance in the Southern Ocean, and contributes to the prediction for the future chemical cycles in the Southern Ocean.
