Sustained observations in Drake Passage

The project ended in 2021; it's website https://projects.noc.ac.uk/drake-passage is no longer available.

Drake Passage has been the most comprehensively observed part of the Southern Ocean. It provides the link between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and it constricts the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) to a narrow geographical region, making this the best place to measure the ACC’s properties.
