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 project commenced by JAMSTEC in 1993 as a follow– up to the JAPACS program as a Japanese contribution to TAO. The objective of TOCS is to achieve a better understanding of the western Pacific warm pool and its effects on ocean circulation, the ENSO phenomenon, and global climate change.
Industry:Earth science
A project for the intercomparison of tropical ocean behavior in coupled ocean–atmosphere models on seasonal and interannual scales. It focuses on the Atlantic and Indian Ocean regions and their relationship to the Pacific Ocean. This project is designed to be complementary with the ENSIP program.
Industry:Earth science
A project funded by ONR and performed by the Ocean Physics Laboratory at ICESS. The objective is to determine how particles and optical properties respond to physical forcing under various oceanic conditions on a broad continental shelf off the east coast of the U.S. This will be done by collecting time series of optical and physical data from several depths using a variety of newly developed optical and physical instruments placed on a mooring at a mid–shelf location.
Industry:Earth science
A project in the Netherlands to improve the overview of and access to marine expertise, information, and data related to the sea and its uses.
Industry:Earth science
A project of CEC and ESA established in 1990. The aim of the project was to generate a data base of CZCS data for the European seas and to set up the scientific tools needed for its exploitation. OCEAN processed about 25,500 CZCS images at various levels in its five years of activity and generated an archive of about 400 GB of data from this processing. Some of the processed images are available online.
Industry:Earth science
A project of the APL at the University of Washington School of Oceanography. It was part of ONR’s Sea Ice Mechanics Initiative (SIMI) and was conducted during April 1994. The goal of IBEX was to use the CABEX array to image sea ice at 400 Hz and to hopefully observe crack formation and display the resulting images in near real–time.
Industry:Earth science
A project of the APL of the University of Washington Department of Oceanography. It was conducted near Cobb Seamount in the Northeast Pacific Ocean about 450 km off the coast of Washington during June-July 1977. In this experiment simultaneous measurements of temperature and velocity time series, vertical and horizontal temperature profiles, and acoustic transmissions were performed to attempt to ascertain the effects of internal waves on acoustic transmissions.
Industry:Earth science
A project of the APL of the University of Washington Department of Oceanography. This study, taking place from 1990–1991, studied the life cycle and energy sources for tropical instability waves in the eastern Pacific.
Industry:Earth science
A project of the APL of the University of Washington School of Oceanography.
Industry:Earth science
A project of the BSH operated by the DOD. It serves as the central German data base for marine data within the framework of international and national conventions for the protection of the North Sea and Baltic Sea.
