This special section of Journal of Geophysical Research contains a collection of papers on the Southern Ocean, presenting results that have emerged during the late phase of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Previous special sections have included papers with Pacific results (World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), Journal of Geophysical Research, 103 , 12,897–13,092, 1998) and South Atlantic results (WOCE South Atlantic Results, Journal of Geophysical Research, 104 , 20,859–21,226, 1999). As before, this special section was stimulated by a WOCE basin workshop: the WOCE Southern Ocean workshop was held at the Antarctic CRC in Hobart, Tasmania, in July 1997. However, the correspondence between results presented at the workshop and papers that were subsequently submitted to the section is not as close as for the other workshops.
