Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory | |||
| AOML is one of the
Environmental Research Laboratories
(ERL), of the Office of
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
part of the US Department of Commerce (DOC). AOML, like NOAA, concentrates on
improving the ability to predict the evolution of the coupled
ocean-atmosphere system, because superior predictions will inspire greater
harmony between humanity and the environment. To this end, we strive to
extract pertinent information from observations and models of the global
atmosphere and the oceans, and to apply this information to meet the goals
of NOAA. | |||
| At AOML, scientists are studying hurricanes, ocean
current and temperature
structures, ocean/atmosphere chemical exchanges and
the coastal ocean. To accomplish our goals, we use
research ships and aircraft, volunteer observing
ships (VOS), radar, acoustics, drifting buoys and many other types of
instrumentation as well as numerical and statistical models. The results
of these efforts are reflected in various products and services in addition to
publications and reports. Close
partnerships with the Rosenstiel
School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, also located on Virginia
Key, provide many mutually beneficial opportunities for collaboration.
We hope you will take the time to explore our laboratory, starting with a
general overview, or browse through a list of ongoing projects. |  |
