- There may be a good chance of encountering episodes of Type II convection near Maud Rise in late winter.
- Measuring turbulent dissipation rates and turbulent fluxes directly during a Type II episode is feasible based on ANZFLUX experience. Such data would be of great value in evaluating and guiding numerical model development.
- Even in the absence of direct Type II convection, studying processes that maintain the step structure and “pycnocline weather” in the Weddell would add significantly to our understanding of the system.
