2019 CALYPSO - Coherent Lagrangian Pathways from the Surface Ocean to Interior

CALYPSO is an Office of Naval Research (ONR) Departmental Research Initiative that addresses the challenge of observing, understanding and predicting the three-dimensional pathways by which water from the surface ocean makes its way into the deeper ocean. Discovering the routes by which trace substances, phytoplankton, and dissolved gases like oxygen, are transported vertically, as they are also carried horizontally by oceanic currents, is the goal of this research. An innovative set of observational techniques are being used, along with process study models, predictive models, and data synthesis, to identify coherent pathways for vertical transport and to diagnose and predict the physical processes that underlie such subduction.

CALYPSO is a US-led multi-institution, international program. This archive includes data and products whose acquisition and derivation were funded by ONR. A list of US award numbers is included below. Additional international funding is indicated with specific datasets as applicable.

CALYPSO是美国海军研究办公室（Office of Naval Research, ONR）发起的部门研究计划，旨在解决观测、理解并预测表层海水进入深海的三维路径这一科学难题。本研究的目标在于探明痕量物质、浮游植物以及氧气等溶解气体，在随海流进行水平输送的同时，其所经历的垂直输送路径。研究团队将采用一系列创新性观测技术，并结合过程研究模型、预测模型与数据合成方法，以识别垂直输送的连贯路径，并诊断和预测支撑这类海水潜沉过程的物理机制。

CALYPSO是由美国主导的多机构国际合作项目。本数据档案库包含由美国海军研究办公室资助获取或衍生得到的数据与产品，下文将列出美国境内的资助项目编号。其余国际资助相关信息将在对应数据集中标注（如适用）。
