Resource Type: Video/DVD
Date Posted: 07/30/2010

A series of 10 videos highlights how the Alaska Ocean Observing System 2009 field experiment was conducted to test and refine models to forecast weather, ocean conditions, and circulation patterns in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Scientists explain and demonstrate how oceanographic data is collected with drifters, gliders, and other autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Interviews of participating scientists (including four women) provide a resource for career exploration.
