Particle and Optics Profiling System (POPS)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An assembly of instruments designed to count and measure particles and to determine optical and environmental properties of water as a function of depth. The main part of the POPS ...
Regional Association for Research on the Gulf of Maine (RARGOM)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An association of institutions which have active research interests in the Gulf of Maine and its watershed. It was founded in 1991 and is housed at Dartmouth College. The missions ...
South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An atmospheric convergence zone in the southwestern Pacific Ocean that is characterized more by a convergence in wind direction than as a wind speed minimum. It extends from east ...
cyclone
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An atmospheric pressure distribution in which there is a low central pressure relative to the surroundings. The circulation around the center is anticlockwise (clockwise) in the ...
Bernard Haurwitz
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An atmospheric scientist (1905–1986) who published many basic contributions to the study of short–period atmospheric wave motions, planetary waves (including atmospheric tides), ...
equivalent barotropic
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An atmospheric state in which the temperature gradients are such that the isotherms are parallel to the isobars.
Next Generation Water Level Management System (NGWLMS)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An automated system for collecting sea level and other data. The NGWLMS platform measures sea level position, air and water temperature, water density, wind speed and direction, ...
