DESCRIPTION:The Antarctic continental margins\, where precursors to Antarc
 tic Bottom Water are pre-conditioned\, are critical but under-observed reg
 ions for physical processes affecting global climate. As the major UK cont
 ribution to the International Polar Year project SASSI (Synoptic Antarctic
  Shelf-Slope Interactions)\, a moored array was deployed from February 200
 9 to February 2010 across the continental shelf and slope of the southeast
  Weddell Sea. High vertical resolution sections were obtained from lowered
  instruments during the mooring deployment and recovery. The moored and lo
 wered instrumentation measured pressure\, temperature\, salinity and veloc
 ity. A preliminary analysis of these observations will be shown to charact
 erize the temporal variability and dynamics of the Antarctic Slope Front a
 nd associated currents in this area.
