  1. Industry-University Agency Cooperation

  2. Cruise Tracks Western Track- Miami, Florida; Labadee, Haiti; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; George Town, Grand Cayman; Cozumel Mexico; Miami, Florida. This is a test Eastern Track- Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Maarten, DWI; St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands; Nassau, Bahamas; Miami, Florida.

  3. M-AERI Observations The Marine & Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer precisely measures the temperature of the ocean’s thin surface layer or skin.

  4. Hull-Mounted 150 kHz Phase Array ADCP

  5. Hull Mounted ADCP

  6. Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Northward component of velocity (cm/sec) across the Florida Straits over 28 outbound transects between May and December, 2001. Velocity vectors from 150kHz ADCP along the Explorer cruise track during cruise no. 0138, September 9-15, 2001.

  7. Regression of ADCP Backscatter upon Biomass

  8. Biomass Elevation at Frontal Regime

  9. Mesopelagic Fish and Zooplankton Text Copepod

  10. GREENHOUSE GAS STUDIES Measurement of Carbon Dioxide in Surface Water: The ocean sequesters on average about 30 % of the CO2 produced by combustion of fossil fuel and other human activities. The uptake changes with region and season. The partial pressure of CO2 in surface water (pCO2) controls to a large extent the flux of CO2 between ocean and atmosphere. The automated pCO2 system on the EXPLORER OF THE SEAS provides coverage to determine the CO2 fluxes in the Caribbean Sea. Trend of pCO2 with time along the Eastern track (see above). The red colors on the figure at left indicate that the region is a source of CO2 to the atmosphere blue that it is a sink. The Caribbean Sea releases CO2 to the atmosphere during the summer and fall and takes up CO2 in spring.

  11. Atmospheric Aerosols AVHRR images of aerosol optical depth for the tropical North Atlantic Caribbean region for June (a) and December (b) (Husar et al.,1997) Warmer colors indicate higher concentrations of atmospheric aerosols.
