Polar Exchange at the Sea Surface (POLES)

Updated 2000-06-30

Our broad area of enquiry is the role of polar regions in the global energy and water cycles, and the atmospheric, oceanic and sea ice processes that determine that role. The primary importance of our investigation is to show how these polar processes relate to global climate.

This is not a National Implementation Plan (NIP) project
