 NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown Completes Tw0-Month Study in Eastern Pacific
Ronald H. Brown was part of the Variability of the American Monsoon Systems' (VAMOS) Ocean-Cloud-Atmosphere-Land Study (VOCALS) in the Eastern Pacific off the coasts of Chile and Peru in October and November of 2008. VOCALS is a NOAA, NSF and NASA-sponsored investigation of the physical mechanisms that keep the ocean in a large region west of the coast so cold. The Brown joined five aircraft from the U.S. and Britain and a Peruvian research vessel in a 2-month regional study of oceanography, meteorology, and biology. For this study, the Brown fielded one of the most comprehensive sets of observing systems ever assembled on a research vessel.
