paucity of in situ observations in the Southern Ocean leaves open a host of questions about the true nature of surface fluxes at high latitudes, and our objectives are to address some of these most basic unknown aspects of Southern Ocean air–sea fluxes. We focus specifically on the turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat, which depend strongly on air–sea temperature differences and on specific humidity. In our analysis, we make use of year-round high-resolution shipboard measurements of the flux
