Nauru99 Research Goals
|
|
Though the Tropical Western Pacific serves as the furnace or "firebox" for the rest of the world, this heat engine is not well understood. The aim of Nauru99 was to improve our understanding of radiant heat transfer and the effects of clouds on ocean weather processes in the tropics through land-, air- and ocean-based measurements. Research resulting from this intensive, month-long campaign ultimately will be used to create more accurate climate change models. For detailed information, please see the Nauru99 science plan. |
