Alexander Suvorov is a well-known
specialist in the field of oceanography and marine information
systems and technology. He was been principal investigator
for projects that resulted in the creation of a database of
measurements of the marine environment, an analysis of hydrochemical
and hydrophysical marine parameters, and the develop-ment
of new marine information systems and technology.
Sydney Levitus is director of
World Data Sets-A for Oceanography (WDC-A) and leader of
the "Global Oceanographic Data Archaeology and Rescue" project
of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. This project
has been responsible for the addition of more than two million
temperature profiles to internationally available historical
archives since its inception in 1993.
David Palmer has many years
of experience conducting experimental and theoretical research
in oceanography with particular emphasis on developing methods
and techniques for monitoring and understanding climate change
and related physical processes. He has served as principal
investigator, chief scientist, or national project leader
for a number of major national and international sea trials
using aircraft, ships, and submersibles. He participated in
the Heard Island Feasibility Test, the ATOC Program, and is
a participant in an on-going NSF/Navy/NOAA-sponsored project
to acoustically image hydrothermal plumes and diffuse flow
at seafloor spreading centers.
W. Paul Dammann receiving a
Bachelor of Ocean Engineering degree from Florida Atlantic
University in1979 and a Master of Science degree in Applies
Marine Physics from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School
of Marine and Atmospheric Science in 1991. He has worked at
AOML since 1977 as an electronics techniciam and a research
oceanographer. His specialty is in development of new methodologies
for data collection, storage, and processing. He has experience
in data management and softwear design, primarily as these
activities relate to the collection, analysis, and storage
of acoustic remote sensing data.
