- Indian Ocean
- Project Type: Research
DESCRIPTION: The project will use infrared imaging of ocean surfaces to quantify the surface energy budget and look at forcings on the regional mesoscale atmospheric flows responsible for the Madden-Julian Oscillation and document the oceanic response to these flows at high vertical and temporal resolution.
