PMEL Participates in Large Atlantic Ocean Survey

November 13, 2013

A two-month long oceanographic expedition, led by PMEL’s Dr. John Bullister and AOML's Dr. Molly Baringer, along the A16N line in the Atlantic Ocean was recently completed on NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown.  About 50 scientists, from 6 countries made a variety of physical, chemical and biological measurements in the water column and atmosphere.

The data will be compared with historical data collected 10 and 20 years earlier in this region to look for changes in ocean properties and as a reference data set for future studies.  More information, including blogs by participating teachers and students can be found online here.
