Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer floats recorded temperatures in depths between 700 and 1100 meters in the Southern Ocean throughout the 1990s. These temperature records are systematically warmer than earlier hydrographic temperature measurements from the region, suggesting that mid-depth Southern Ocean temperatures have risen 0.17 degrees C between the 1950s and the 1980s. This warming is faster than that of the global ocean and is concentrated within the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, where temperature rates of change are comparable to Southern Ocean atmospheric temperature increases.
20世纪90年代，自主拉格朗日环流探测浮标记录了南大洋700至1100米深度的温度。这些温度记录系统性地高于该地区早期水文温度测量值，这表明20世纪50年代至80年代期间，南大洋中层深度的温度上升了0.17摄氏度。这种变暖速度比全球海洋更快，且集中在南极绕极流内，其温度变化速率与南大洋大气温度升高相当。
