The discrimination of convective from stratiform tropical oceanic rains by conventional radar-based textural methods is problematic because of the small size and modest horizontal reflectivity gradients of the oceanic convective cells.
The objectives are: quantification of changes in the rates and spatial patterns of oceanic carbon uptake, fluxes, and storage of anthropogenic CO detection and possible quantification of changes in water mass renewal and mixing rates; and provision of a stringent test of the time integration of models' natural and anthropogenic climate variability.
During and subsequent to hurricane passage, horizontal advection due to geostrophic velocities is significant in the eddy regime, suggesting that prestorm oceanic variability is important when background flows have the same magnitude as the mixed layer current response.

In 1870, Harland and Wolff built their first White Star Line-owned vessel, Oceanic, which bore the hull number 73, and over the years, they built more than 70 vessels for them, quite a happy union for both parties.
Titanic's chief designer, Thomas Andrews, pictured here on the left, was a managing director at HandW, and also head of the draughting department, responsible for producing every drawing for every part of the ship.
