Ocean Observations Panel for Climate, Interview with Eric Lindstrom: in International Innovation, August 2011
NASA, 2011The more research carried out on our oceans, the more significant its role has proven in the broader climate system. Observing Earth’s Ocean System is therefore a vital component of climate research, and the OOPC is working hard to direct this effectively, as its Chair Dr Eric J Lindstrom explains.
