Globec Nep: Satellite-Observed Ocean Climate Variability, Andrew C. Thomas
Globec Nep: Satellite-Observed Ocean Climate Variability, Andrew C. Thomas
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
The PIs will extend in time and expand in scope the satellite data development and satellite-based analyses of ocean climate variability in the Northeast Pacific (NEP), begun during the GLOBEC Pilot Project phase (1997 - 00). The overall scientific problem is to characterize and quantify the dominant modes of variability in the NEP as embodied by satellite measurements of surface transports, temperature and chlorophyll patterns. Our analyses address multiple spatial and temporal scales using merged satellite data products over GLOBEC target study regions in both the California Current (CCS) and the coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA).
