Short summary

We present a decade-long mooring time series from southern Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea, begun in December 2014 as the “DITx” array. Three sites around the Drygalski Ice Tongue record temperature, salinity, pressure, and currents. The data highlight seasonal cycles and variability, informing studies of water mass formation, ice–ocean interactions, glaciology, and regional ecosystems.
