Surface flux buoy (UH, URI, WHOI, PMEL) KESS Timeline Funded by: NSF, NOAA NSF Tomorrow!

KEO (Kuroshio Extension Observatory) Dr. Meghan Cronin, Mr. Chris Meinig, Dr. Christopher Sabine NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory Version 1 is a TAO buoy, modified for the extreme conditions of Kuroshio Extension, with special sensors to monitor... Air-sea heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes Air-sea CO 2 flux (beginning June 2005) surface and subsurface T and S engineering quantities (load cell) ?

For Kuroshio Extension (145E, 32.3N)... For tropics... decked over toroid slack-line scope 1.4:1 heavy anchor sonic anemometer

Cold dry air blowing over warm KE causes large sensible and latent heat loss. What is Q? How does heat flux affect SST? Mode water formation? Size of recirculation gyre? Do SST (KE) variations affect convection? Winds? Storm track?

The largest sink of carbon in the North Pacific is in the Kuroshio Extension

Asian dust storms (e.g. April 1998)...are rich in iron and other micro-nutrients. How do dust clouds affect the ocean biological pump and carbon cycle?

KEO will be part of the global network of time series reference sites.
