  abstract = {{C}ontinuous surface temperature and salinity measurements have been collected onboard a supply ship between {T}asmania and {D}umont {D}'{U}rville, {A}ntarctica, as part of the {SURVOSTRAL} program ({S}urveillance de l'{O}c{\'e}an {A}ustral). {T}he ship makes 6-10 repeat sections per year from {O}ctober to {M}arch for the period 1993-1999, and these measurements form the longest time series of spring and summer variations available in the {S}outhern {O}cean. {T}he surface fronts are more clearly indicated with the salinity data than the temperature data. {T}he {L}evitus climatological and {R}eynolds satellite monthly mean sea surface temperature data compare well with our surface temperature data: {A}ll data sets are dominated by the large-scale seasonal heating cycle with similar amplitude and phase. {T}he {SURVOSTRAL} monthly mean sea surface salinity data show weak seasonal variations, except in the {A}ntarctic {C}ontinental {Z}one where seasonal sea-ice variations introduce large surface freshwater fluctuations. {T}he {L}evitus climatological surface salinity has too much seasonal variability and fails to reproduce the sharp fronts, the near-constant salinity in the {A}ntarctic {Z}one, and the seasonal freshening near {A}ntarctica. {T}his has important consequences for projects that use {L}evitus climatology data to establish the surface salinity structure and water mass characteristics.},
