Arctic Ocean Climate Database Project

Earth science; Physical oceanography

A project to establish a universally available digital hydrographic database for the Arctic Ocean for analysis of climate–related processes and variability, and to provide a ...

Coastal Mixing and Optics program (CMO)

Earth science; Physical oceanography

A project to study the mixing of ocean water on the continental shelf, and the effect of the mixing on the transmission of light through the water.

Tracing the Water Masses of the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean (TRACMASS)

Earth science; Physical oceanography

A project to use a Lagrangian trajectory method to investigate the North Atlantic and Mediterranean water mass circulation as they result from numerical simulations of the global ...

European Sea–level Observing System (EOSS)

Earth science; Physical oceanography

A project under which various European sea level activities are coordinated. The objectives of EOSS include: optimization of tide gauge networks; implementation of geodetic ...

Cloud and Ocean Remote Sensing around Africa (CORSA)

Earth science; Physical oceanography

A project which aims to provide a quality controlled data set of surface, atmospheric and cloud parameters over a time period and at a resolution not available from any other ...

SEa ice in the Antarctic LInked with OceaN–atmosphere forcing (SEA LION)

Earth science; Physical oceanography

A project whose aim is to assess and improve the performance of coupled global atmosphere–sea ice–ocean models in reproducing sea ice in the high southern latitudes.

Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling Project (OCCAM)

Earth science; Physical oceanography

A project whose aim is to build a high resolution model of the world ocean. The OCCAM model is a primitive equation model of the global ocean based on the GFDL MOM version of the ...
