A new interdisciplinary study to test model performance….
Department of Energy
Central Points…
If collected from a ship, assuming a cruising speed of 10 knots and a sampling time of 1 hour per station, the same number of chlorophyll values would require 11 years to collect.
1) Productivity is a key index of ecosystem function and health
2) NASA’s unique perspectives support qualitative and quantitative characterization and detection of change.
3) Detection and prediction are vastly different problems, but they share a variety of requirements for process understanding
4) Cooperative NSF – NASA research is leading to breakthroughs in our fundamental understanding of Earth-system functioning
