Title | MAGELLAN Expedition (MGLN) |
Abstract | To better meet the PhilEx science objectives the ONR/PhilEx researchers at their meeting in February 2007 reached a conclusion that the pair of IOP cruises should be carried out in Jan-Mar 2008 and Jan-Mar 2009, rather than in Jan-Mar 2008 and Jul-Sept 2008. Each Jan-Mar time frame will focus on a specific Strait, Mindoro/Tablas in 2008, and another [likely Surigao] in 2009. Each region has different complexities of geometry and difference local and remote ocean forcing. Additionally, it appears that winter presents more active features than does the summer season. |
