Air-Sea Coupling Mechanisms in Tropical Cyclones The goal of this project is to improve our understanding of the role of air-sea interactions in modifying the near-surface wind structure of tropical cyclones. |

Climate and Upper Layer Temperature Structure of the Atlantic Ocean Describe the seasonal variability of the circulation gyres in the North Atlantic using expendable bathythermograph data (XBT). |
 |
Climate Observing System for the Tropical Atlantic (COSTA) We are currently working on this page. Information on the recent workshop in Miami is available through this link. |
 |
Direct Observations in Support of Operational Monitoring To obtain direct measurements of the volume of water passing through the Straits of Florida between the Florida peninsula and the Bahamas. |
 |
El Niño Southern Oscillation This project examines and investigates (1) the ENSO western Pacific patterns, their roles in the evolution of ENSO, and ENSO-related climate variability in the tropical North Atlantic; (2) why the El Niño events originate and develop differently in the last five decades. |
 |
El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) This project is to investigate role of the western Pacific interannual anomaly patterns in the evolution of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), in an attempt to improve ENSO predictions. |
 |
High Density XBT Lines To measure the seasonal to interannual variability in upper ocean thermal structure in the center of the subtropical gyre in the North Atlantic |
 |
North Brazil Current The purpose of this project is to carry out a comprehensive observational study of the North Brazil Current (NBC) retroflection and ring generation process, and to study the structure and evolution of NBC rings as they propagate northwestward from the NBC retroflection. |
 |
IASlinks.org - Oceanography of the Intra-Americas Sea This project provides support for Caribbean countries to cope with the adverse effects of global climate change through a better understanding of regional air-ocean-land interactions, vulnerability assessment, planning and capacity building. |
 |
Pan-American Climate Studies (PACS) We wish to understand the role of the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific oceans in the seasonal to interannual climate variability of the American Monsoon. |
 |
South Atlantic Climate Change (SACC) The main goal of the program is to understand the interactive relationship of the southwestern South Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) and the larger scale climate behavior. The SST is the oceanic variable that most influences the atmosphere, and therefore is a sensitive indicator of climate variability. |
 |
Statistical Modeling and Prediction This objective of this project is to develop better models for predicting near-term climatic conditions within the United States. |
 |
Tropical Atlantic Observations and Studies Climate variability in the tropical Atlantic region and the land that surrounds it represents a difficult problem in terms of large-scale circulation and ocean-atmosphere-land interactions, with important economic and social impacts. |
