Founded in 1876, Texas A&M University is a U.S. public and comprehensive university offering a wide variety of academic programs far beyond its original label of agricultural and mechanical trainings. It is one of the few institutions holding triple federal designations as a land-, sea- and ...
A ocean basin situated between Labrador, Greenland and Newfoundland. It underlies the Labrador Sea as well as most of the Irminger Sea.
Industry:Earth science
A ocean circulation model that uses isopycnic coordinates in the vertical. See the MICOM Web site93.
Industry:Earth science
A one–dimensional numerical model aimed at accurately simulating vertical exchange processes in the marine environment where mixing is known to play a key role. The goals of GOTM are to:
learn about the physics and numerical treatment of vertical mixing processes;
compare the performance of various turbulence schemes under various oceanic regimes;
easily be able to introduce new features in the modular models, e.g. a new turbulence scheme;
couple GOTM with biological, ice, etc. models; and
integrate GOTM into 2– and 3–D hydrodynamic codes.
Industry:Earth science
A PAGES sponsored inter–American paleoenvironmental research program focuses on the dynamics of transequatorial atmospheric and ocean linkages.
Industry:Earth science
A paleogeographic term for a sea that partly intersected Pangaea in the Permian and later separated the two Mesozoic supercontinents of Laurasia and Gondwana.
Industry:Earth science
A paleogeographic term for the ocean that lay between Baltica and Laurentia during the late Precambrian and early Paleozoic. It was subducted during the early Paleozoic and is thought to have disappeared completely by the Late Silurian-early Devonian (around 400 Ma).
Industry:Earth science
A panel sponsored by UNESCO, ICES, IAPSO, and SCOR which first met in 1962 (in an earlier form not yet called JPOTS) to study and decide upon standards to measure the properties of sea water.
Industry:Earth science
A panel succeeding and formed from the OOSDP. It is sponsored jointly with WCRP, GOOS, and GCOS. The OOPC continues the design of the ocean observing system begun by OOSDP, in addition to addressing:
areas not considered by the OOSDP;
prioritizing recommended elements;
considering alternate sampling strategies; and
assisting in making inventories of available data and products needed for the GCOS/GOOS common module.
Industry:Earth science
A parallel version of the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM2) implemented for MIMD massively parallel computers using the message passing programming paradigm. It can be implemented on a massively parallel machine supporting message passing or across a network of machines with the PVM software package.
Industry:Earth science
A part of ARCSS program. The theme is to explore the importance of land–ocean interactions and the variation in freshwater and chemical fluxes within the total arctic system.
