Description:The Subtropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) Program of NOAA is directed at determining the role of ocean circulation in global atmospheric climate, providing data for numerical model verification, and developing monitoring strategies for climatically important circulation features. The initial emphasis of STACS was on the subtropics, where earlier studies suggested that oceanic heat flux in the Atlantic is a maximum. Results of an intensive two-year study of the Florida Current at 27°N provided data on its role in Atlantic circulation and oceanic heat flux. The study also provided a system for monitoring the current on a long-term basis.
