Objectives- |
VOCALS is an international program for studies of the eastern tropical Pacific climate.
Science goals emphasize: particularly over South America and its monsoon system, |
|
Processes targeted include local feedbacks between atmosphere and oceans, coastal upwelling and oceanic heat transports, planetary boundary layer (PBL) cloud formation/destruction, aerosol-cloud interactions in the southeastern Pacific (SEP), interactions between regions of radiative sink and descent (in the SEP) with those of heating and ascent to the east (Amazonia), and teleconnections with remote regions. |
