Founded in 1876, Texas A&M University is a U.S. public and comprehensive university offering a wide variety of academic programs far beyond its original label of agricultural and mechanical trainings. It is one of the few institutions holding triple federal designations as a land-, sea- and ...
A process–oriented study within the TOGA observing system for examining the processes controlling SST in the equatorial eastern Pacific. It was designed to explore the characteristics and dynamics of the mixing in the equatorial Pacific Ocean in greater detail and to establish the basis for realistic parameterizations of the mixing. A two ship study was conducted southeast of Hawaii in November and December 1984 in which intensive fine– and microscale observations were made.
Industry:Earth science
A product of the calibration/ validation element of the SeaWiFS project which provides an interface to the project holdings of bio–optical and laboratory instrument calibration data.
Industry:Earth science
A program aimed at understanding how the shelf processes partition salt and fresh water components, how the resulting buoyancy fluxes are coupled to the ocean interior, at defining the dynamics and thermodynamics of the shelf waters sufficiently to perm.
Industry:Earth science
A program conceived by the IOC in the late 1960s to provide a low level inventory for tracking oceanographic data collected on research vessels. It is a form to be completed by a scientist on each cruise that provides various metadata about what kinds of data were taken on the cruise. It was renamed the Cruise Summary Report (CSR) in 1990 but the acronym ROSCOP persists.
Industry:Earth science
A program designed to assess the variability of the circulation and density structure of the Arctic Ocean including exchanges with the surrounding seas, to find the rates and variability of the processes important in maintaining present ocean conditions.
Industry:Earth science
A program designed to gain a predictive understanding of the magnitude of the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is ultimately dissolved in the ocean and removed from the atmosphere for a period of time.
Industry:Earth science
A program developed by NOAA to provide accurate meteorological and oceanographic data in real time from ships at sea through the use of satellite data transmission techniques. The shipboard data is transmitted to NOAA via either the GOES or INMARSAT C satellites.
Industry:Earth science
A program established for the purpose of making monthly mean sea level data available to a wide circle of users in a timely fashion and to generate products that would be valuable for scientific analysis of climate–related processes.
Industry:Earth science
A program for investigating ocean processes in and near the Bering Strait.
Industry:Earth science
A program for making repeated observations of the hydrography, chemistry and biology at a station north of Hawaii since October 1988. The objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive description of the ocean at a site representative of the central North Pacific Ocean.
