Summary
Abstract:
DATA ACCESS All CTD data are available upon request from NOAA's National Oceanographic Data Center in Silver Spring, MD ( http://www.nodc.noaa.gov). The data are also archived at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO ( http://dss.ucar.edu/pub/toga_coare/). BACKGROUND TOGA COARE was a multidisciplinary, international research effort that investigated the scientific ... phenomena associated with the interaction
between the atmosphere and the ocean in the warm pool region of the
western Pacific. The field experiment phase of the program took place
from 1 November 1992 through 28 February 1993 and involved the
deployment of oceanographic ships and buoys, several ship and land-
based Doppler radars, multiple low and high-level aircraft equipped
with Doppler radar and other airborne sensors, as well as a variety of
surface based instruments for in situ observations.
