Boaty's maiden voyage was into the depths of Orkney Passage, a region of the Southern Ocean some 500 miles (800 km) from the Antarctic Peninsula.
Professor Alberto Naveira Garabato, from the University of Southampton, said: 'The Orkney Passage is a key chokepoint to the flow of abyssal waters in which we expect the mechanism linking changing winds to abyssal water warming to operate.
'Our goal is to learn enough about these convoluted processes to represent them in the models that scientists use to predict how our climate will evolve over the 21st century and beyond.
'We have been able to collect massive amounts of data that we have never been able to capture before due to the way Boaty is able to move underwater.
'Up until now we have only been able to take measurements from a fixed point, but now, we are able to obtain a much more detailed picture of what is happening in this very important underwater landscape.'
