Seismic Sea-Wave Warning System
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A network of seismographs across the Pacific Ocean to serve as an early warning system against the arrival of seismic sea waves (SSW) (also called tsunamis or, in an egregious ...
National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A network of water level measurement stations in the U.S. coastal ocean, including the Great Lakes and connecting waterways, and in U.S. Trust Territories and Possessions. This is ...
Swallow float
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A neutrally buoyant float used as a subsurface drifter to study mesoscale circulation and small-scale motions in the oceans. Swallow floats approximately track isobaric surfaces, ...
Global Drifter Program (GDP)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A NOAA AOML program whose objectives are to: (1) described mixed– layer velocity on a 5 degree resolution global basis and produce new charts of seasonal surface circulation; (2) ...
Ocean/Air Exchange of Trace Compounds (OAXTC)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A NOAA CMDL program whose goal was to determine the atmospheric mixing ratio of HCFC-22 and its partial pressure in surface waters of the Western Pacific Ocean and to assess the ...
Coastal Ocean Probing Experiment (COPE)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A NOAA ETL experiment which took place in 1995. The objectives were to determine how environmental conditions affect observations of internal waves with active and passive ...
San Clemente Ocean Probing Experiment (SCOPE)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A NOAA ETL program conducted in September 1993. It was an experiment to study the effects of the atmosphere on active and passive microwave remote sensing measurements of the ...
