Figure V.E.1-1 Distribution of upper ocean thermal data. Embedded in this array are equatorial current moorings at the five locations indicated by the squares. It is intended that dashed lines will be carried out in 1996-1997. Figure V.I.3-2 Locations of long time series measurements underway. Stations off Bermuda, California, Hawaii, and Canary Islands are indicated by Xs.
Lines indicate hydrographic repeat sections.
Dotted shading indicates area of Japanese operational observing network. Figure V.J-1 A schematic of three methods for interfacing observations and models, in order of increasing sophistication. The data are interpreted without the aid of a model, and the model is run without observed information. The interface is provided by a series of validation steps. The Data Assembly Centers assemble data from both operational and research sources and, with guidance from research scientists, provide improved data sets to the Special Analysis Centers and World Data Centers.
