KESS - Kuroshio Extension
System Study
KESS program webpage
Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS) is a collaborative
effort between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the
University of Rhode Island, and the University of Hawaii.
The purpose of KESS is to understand the processes that
govern the variability of and the interaction between the
Kuroshio Extension and its recirculation gyre. To do this it
will employ a large array of in-situ measurements from
combination pressure gauge and inverted echo sounders,
current meter moorings, and profiling floats, together with
satellite altimeter and sea surface temperature data. more >> |

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) was launched on March 17, 2002 from the Russian Plesetsk Cosmodrome. The project, a joint effort between NASA and the German Center for Air and Space Flight, aims to produce 60 gravity maps of the Earth during its five year lifespan. The gravity mapping information, which will chart the evolution of gravity over time, has many applications ranging from oceanography to hydrology and glaciology.
