✦ Synopsis
Abslract. Temperature observations of three buoys drifting in the Weddell Sea for one year and covering the ice-water-ice cycle from July 1986 to July 1987 are presented. Significant differences between winter and summer are shown to be a consequence of the air-sea heat exchange being drastically modified by the sea ice cover. Over ice, prevailing variance is in the synoptic scale (periods 3 to 5 days) with amplitudes of 25"C, whereas over water, the diurnal wave dominates with amplitudes of less than 1 "C.
