Transarctic Acoustic Propagation experiment (TAP)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Carried out in April 1994 at an ice camp north of Svalbard. A joint US/Russian scientific party deployed an experimental 20 MHz source and transmitted various signals to listening ...
linear
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Characteristic of a system (the climate, etc.) wherein the output is always proportional to the input. As such, the output from a linear system can be predicted from knowledge of ...

Earth science; Physical oceanography
Colorado. NCAR comprises five divisions: (1) Atmospheric Chemistry Division (ACD), (2) Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD), (3) Climate and Global Dynamics Division (CGD), (4) ...
North Atlantic Transect Fluorescence Experiment (NATFE)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Conducted between May 28 and June 6, 1993 aboard the CSS Hudson as the second leg of a collaborative research cruise between the IRSA of Italy and the BIO of Canada. Water was ...
Frontal Air-Sea INteraction EXperiment (FASINEX)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Conducted from 1984 to 1986 in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda. The overall objective was to study air-sea interaction on 1- to 100-km horizontal scales in a ...
Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment (MCTEX)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Conducted from Nov. 13 to Dec. 10, 1995 over the Bathurst and Melville Islands located approximately 50 km off the coast of Australia’s North Territory. The basic objective was to ...
Joint Air-Sea Interaction experiment (JASIN)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Conducted in 1978 primarily north and west of Scotland. The emphasis was on marine boundary layer dynamics.
