Founded in 1876, Texas A&M University is a U.S. public and comprehensive university offering a wide variety of academic programs far beyond its original label of agricultural and mechanical trainings. It is one of the few institutions holding triple federal designations as a land-, sea- and ...
A small sea located in the midst of the Visayan Islands that comprise the central portion of the Philippines. It is centered at about 124° E and 12° N and connected to the Sibuyan Sea to the northwest, the Samar Sea to the northeast, the the Camotes Sea to the southeast, the Bohol Sea to the southwest via the Tanon Strait, and to the Panay Gulf to the southwest via the Guimaras Strait. Prominent geographic features include the Asid Gulf (in Masbate Island) and Bantayan Island.

A small sea within the Visayan Islands that comprise the middle portion of the Philippines. It is centered at about 124.5° E and 10.5° N and is connected to the Visayan Sea to the northwest (between the islands of Cebu and Leyte), and to the Bohol Sea to the south via the Tanon Strait and a passage between the islands of Bohol and Leyte. The Camotes Islands are prominently features in the midst of this sea.
Industry:Earth science
A society founded in 1988 to disseminate knowledge of oceanography and its application through research and education, to promote communication among oceanographers, and to provide a constituency for concensus-building across all the disciplines of the field. They also publish a magazine called, strangely enough, ”Oceanography”.
Industry:Earth science
A software package that provides the capability to mange oceanographic and meteorological data in near real-time. It provides a set of tools to access, create and manage environmental data which is stored in a NEONS schema within a relational database.
Industry:Earth science
A southward flowing current along the Chinese coast in the Yellow Sea. This current brings low salinity water from the northern parts of the Yellow Sea, particularly the Bohai Gulf, to the south and on into the East China Sea where part of it continues along the coast and another part joins and turns eastward with the northward flowing Taiwan Current.

A speed of 1 nautical mph. It is equal to 1.15 mph or 1.85 kph and used in navigation and meteorology.
Industry:Earth science
A squall that occurs in the Malacca Strait, blowing from between southwest and northwest. These usually occur at night and are most frequent between April and November. They are generally accompanied by thunder and lightning and torrential rain, and their arrival is accompanied by a sudden fall of temperature.
Industry:Earth science
A state-of-the-art methodology that makes environmental products and satellite data available worldwide via the Web. This was developed at the FNMOC for the distribution of their products.
Industry:Earth science
A statistical technique developed to permit early detection of possible greenhouse warming. This method requires finding a multivariate signal (i.e. changes in a number of different climate parameters or changes in the same parameter at a number of different locations) unique to enhanced greenhouse effect model simulations and its accompanying identification in the observed climate record. Thus the method simultaneously satisfies two essential requirements, that the signal be both strong and unique.
