A project of the NOAA ERL initiated in 1979 to investigate the role of the tropical Pacific Ocean in influencing large–scale interannual climate fluctuations. The principal working hypothesis was that interannual variability of SST in the equatorial Pacific is intimately related to atmospheric fluctuations assocated with the Southern Oscillation, with the coupled signal known as ENSO. The goal of EPOCS was an improved understanding of the ENSO phenomena leading to the development of the capability to simulation the tropical Pacific and atmosphere conditions in near real time and to predict various aspects of the evolution of these conditions. EPOCS is a contribution to the large U.S. TOGA effort.

A project started in 1971 by a consortium of scientists from many institutions to study the history of global climate over the past million years, particularly the elements of that history recorded in deep-sea sediments. One goal of CLIMAP, the Last Glacial Maximum Project, was to reconstruct the boundary conditions for the climate 18,000 years ago to serve as boundary conditions for atmospheric GCM simulations.

A project that has been undertaken in every year in January/February in the North Sea since about 1970. This survey includes station observations of hydrochemical measurements which has resulted in a comprehensive North Sea data set of over 20 years duration. Maps of the temperature and salinity distributions measured during these surveys can be obtained at the IYFS Web site82.

A project that started in October 1993 and was completed in September 1995. The objective of the project was to use tomography to study the Western Mediterranean Sea. THETIS-I investigated changes on the 100 km scale, and THETIS-II was aimed at observing basin scale heat content changes at scales up to 600 km. The second experiment consisted of a network of seven moorings with tomographic transceivers, current meters, and temperature sensors deployed in January 1994 and recovered in October 1994.
Industry:Earth science
A project to create a hydroraphic data bank for the Mediterranean Sea. The objectives are to create a data project which includes an update of currently available data sets, a quality control of the data set in conformance with IOC and MAST recommendations, revised climatological statistics for the Mediterreanean Sea, and making the final product available electronically.
Industry:Earth science
A project to create a universal marine data standard within the XML or Extensible Markup Language environment.
Industry:Earth science
A project to deliver advanced data projects for oceanographic research in the Mediterranean Sea. See the MODB Web site97.
Industry:Earth science
A project to develop a new ice thickness and subglacial topographic model of the Antarctic region, including bathymetry to 60°S.
Industry:Earth science
A project to develop an innovative deep sea benthic observatory devoted to continuous and long–term geophysical, oceanographic, and geochemical observations.
