Current projects of OCEANIC are:
|
|
GOSIC - The Global Observing Systems Information Center The Global Observing Systems Program is the focus for continuing international work to understand the terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric components of global change. It provides global and regional data sets and analyses for research, for operational oceanographic and meteorological services; and for monitoring, detection of change, and prediction of future conditions. GOSIC provides a direct route to the GCOS (Global Climate Observing System), GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System) and GTOS (Global Terrestrial Observing System) programs and their data. It describes the components in some detail and provides links to specific projects and their data. |
|
International Research Ship Schedules and Information Pages Some 800+ research ships from 56+ nations work individually and co-operatively for much of each year. This database describes these ships, their past, present and future sea-going programs together with relevant supporting information, Currently the most comprehensive information is available for the US research fleet but international input is actively sought.

Projects completed and transferred to archives: |
WOCE - The World Ocean Circulation Experiment The documentation of the planning and execution together with the data acquired during WOCE-(an experiment describing the dynamics and physical and chemical state of the global oceans in the 1990's)-has moved to its permanent archive at: http://woce.nodc.noaa.gov/wdiu/ |
| TOGA - Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment COARE, describing the coupling between the tropical ocean and global atmosphere has moved to its permanent archive at http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/coare/ .
