Surface WAve Processes Program (SWAPP)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An experiment conducted off the coast of California in 1990 and concerned with wave breaking and the interaction between surface waves and upper ocean boundary layer dynamics. The ...
Equatorial Mesoscale Experiment (EMEX)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An experiment conducted over the tropical oceanic area north of Australia in Jan.-Feb. 1987. It explored the vertical air motions and other kinematic properties of tropical ...
Surface WAve Dynamics Experiment (SWADE)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An experiment performed in the fall of 1990 off the coast of Virginia which was primarily concerned with the evolution of the directional wave spectrum, wind forcing and wave ...
