• Description:
  The primary objectives of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) program are to increase our understanding of the dynamics of the North Atlantic circulation and the role of ocean circulation in global climate, to develop the capability to monitor the climatically important processes, and to provide data needed in the development of the coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models to be used for global climate prediction. In particular, the mechanisms by which the ocean transports heat to balance the net radiation deficit at northerly latitudes are being studied.
