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

9811921卢卡根据这笔赠款，私人投资机构将继续夏威夷海洋时间序列(HOTS)另外三年。HETS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。研究的重点将是观察和了解北太平洋副热带环流中与气候有关的过程，这项工作的一个特别重点将是试图证明在未来保持HOT对支持与气候有关的主要项目的价值。来自HOTS的数据为两个全球变化项目--世界海洋环流实验(WOCE)和全球海洋通量联合研究(JGOFS)--提供了支持。

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).
