Current PMEL programsfocus on open ocean observations in support of long-termmonitoring and prediction of the ocean environment on timescales from hours to decades. Studies are conducted to improveour understanding of the complex physical and geochemicalprocesses operating in the world oceans, to define the forcingfunctions and the processes driving ocean circulation and theglobal climate system, and to improve environmental forecastingcapabilities and other supporting services for marine commerceand fisheries. Results from PMEL research activities contributeto NOAA's strategic goals of implementing seasonal-to-interannualclimate forecasts, assessing and predicting decadal to centennialclimate change, advancing short-term warning and forecast services,and building sustainable fisheries.[Text Extracted from the PMEL Home Page]
