A Time Series Investigation of Climate-Related Processes in the Subtropical North Pacific Ocean

根据这笔拨款，PIs将继续进行夏威夷海洋时间序列（HOTS）额外三年。HOTS提供了夏威夷瓦胡岛东北部单一地点的物理和化学性质的时间历史。研究重点将放在观察和理解北太平洋副热带环流中与气候相关的过程上，这项工作的一个特别重点将是试图证明在未来维持HOTS的价值，以支持主要的气候相关项目。HOTS的数据支持了两个全球变化项目：世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）和全球海洋通量联合研究（JGOFS）。

9811921LukasUnder this grant, PIs will continue the Hawaiian Ocean Time Series (HOTS) for an additional three years. HOTS provides a time history of physical and chemical properties at a single location northeast of the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Research focus will be on observing and understanding climate-related processes in the North Pacific Subtropical gyre, and a particular emphasis in this work will be to attempt to demonstrate the value of maintaining HOTS into the future in support of major climaterelated programs. Data from HOTS contributes support to two Global Change programs, WOCE (World Ocean Circulation Experiment), and JGOFS (Joint Global Ocean Flux Study).
