attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String The census data is an analysis product from a set of charts prepared by\nJenifer Clark (JC). An example chart is shown in Figure 1a of Gangopadhyay et\nal. (2019). The collection of charts of the GS and surrounding waters has been\nannotated with satellite data indicating temperature. Using infra-red (IR)\nimagery, satellite altimetry data, and surface in-situ temperature data,\noceanographic analyses were produced for this region in the form of 2-3 day\ncomposite charts in a consistent manner. These charts show the location,\nextent and temperature signature of currents (GS, shelf-slope front), warm and\ncold-core rings (WCRs and CCRs), other eddies, shingles, intrusions, and other\nwater mass boundaries in the Gulf of Maine, over Georges Bank and in the\nMiddle Atlantic Bight.\n \nThe basis data source of those charts was individual\nIR\\u00a0temperature\\u00a0images from the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites\n(NOAA-5 in the early 1980s to NOAA-18 recently) at 6-12 hourly intervals.\nThese images were captured by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer\n(AVHRR) and AVHRR2 instruments, both of\\u00a0which had a resolution of 1.1 km\nover the last four decades. Each individual image has a different lookup table\n(or colormap) for temperature that resolves 256 distinct sets of intensity,\nhue, and saturation of color within the available and retrievable IR signal\nrange.\\u00a0 This allows for accurate identification of the small-scale\nfeatures in each image. The analyst locates all of the small scale features in\neach individual satellite SST image within a three-day period. The locations\nand boundaries of the features (GS, WCR, CCR , and other smaller scale\nentities) are remapped onto a 3-day composite image for that period.\\u00a0The\n3-day composite image has a fixed and broad (5-30\\u00b0C) range of temperature\nwith similar 256-set indexing, which by itself could not resolve the features.\nNote that individual images with high-resolution within a narrower band of\ntemperature range also have clouds, which are eliminated (or at least\nminimized) during the process of generating the 3-day composites.\\u00a0 The\n3-day composite helps to visualize the whole GS and its rings in a broader\nregion (like Figure 1a); while the individual images help resolve the features\nat a very high resolution. The 3-day composite images are regularly produced\nby NOAA and/or the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab (fermi) group\n(see [http://fermi.jhuapl.edu](\\\\\"http://fermi.jhuapl.edu\\\\\") for more\ndetails).

attribute NC_GLOBAL projects_0_description String This research addresses several mechanisms by which freshwater influx might impact the primary production of Calanus finmarchicus in the northern North Atlantic Ocean. Variability in the winter North Atlantic Oscillation index is related to changes in various physical and biological parameters across the entire North Atlantic, but the mechanisms underlying those relationships are not well known. Understanding basin-to-regional connections is important for interpreting patterns of variability observed on both sides of the Atlantic during the core GLOBEC study period (1993-1999) and from earlier observations, and inferring process, whether local or remote, from those observed patterns. The proposed research is focused on: (1) comparing and contrasting the impact of freshwater influx to the eastern and western sides of the North Atlantic, (2) understanding the development and maintenance of a possible three-gyre configuration of Calanus finmarchicus distribution in the North Atlantic, and (3) predicting the projected trends and variations in the North Atlantic Ocean based on IPCC projections for upcoming decades.\nThis project seeks a synthetic understanding of how basin- and global-scales changes in climate force physical processes that in turn determine local- and regional-scale biological communities, with a particular focus on freshwater forcing of circulation, mixing, and marine ecosystems within the North Atlantic Ocean. It is pan-regional in scope, building upon the successes of the U.S. GLOBEC program in the Western North Atlantic (and its other regions) to address climate variability issues spanning the entire northern North Atlantic Ocean. Its research approaches include: synthesis of datasets across the North Atlantic, multi-scale coupled physical/biological modeling, and comparative regional studies. In all these respects it responds directly to the U.S. GLOBEC Pan-Regional Synthesis Announcement of Opportunity.\nTwo graduate students will participate in this project. Results will be disseminated by peer-reviewed scientific publications, presentations at national conferences, and to other Pan-Regional GLOBEC investigators. Model output will be made available via the Rutgers OPeNDAP server. The investigators will give public lectures in Schools of Massachusetts, Maine and New Jersey on the importance of NAO and its impact on the regional ecosystem as part of an ongoing K-12 outreach program. The forecast scenarios for the next two decades will increase awareness of Climate Change. Dr. Fei Chai is a New Investigator to the GLOBEC program and will bring considerable expertise from his associations in the Pacific and in the Climate Change communities. Finally, this project sets the stage for post-GLOBEC end-to-end studies in the North Atlantic (e.g., the BASIN program).

attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String Yearly census of Gulf Stream Warm Core Ring formation from 1980 to 2017. This continuous census file contains the formation and demise times and locations, and the area at formation for all 961 WCRs formed between 1980 and 2017 that lived for a week or more. Each row represents a unique Warm Core Ring and is identified by a unique alphanumeric code 'WEyyyymmddA', where 'WE' represents a Warm Eddy (as identified in the analysis charts); 'yyyymmdd' is the year, month and day of formation; and the last character 'A' represents the sequential sighting of the eddies in a particular year. For example, the first ring in 2017 having a trailing alphabet of 'E' indicates that four rings were carried over from 2016 which are still observed on January 1, 2017.
