Summary: | Temperature profile data were collected using CTD casts in the North Atlantic Ocean from April 21, 1983 to May 1, 1991. Data were collected and submitted by Dr. Yuri Popov of the Ukrainian Scientific Centre of the Ecology of Sea (UkrSCES). The data are from the Newfoundland Energetic Activity Polygon (NEAZO). Approximately 20 years ago a leading Russian Scientist, Akademician Marchuk (Mathematician) proposed a theory that there are some areas in the ocean where the atmospheric interaction is very strong. Hence we have to monitor these areas (key areas, aka Centers of Actions). This area he called Energo Active Zone, zone active energetically. A lot of energy is coming from the ocean to atmosphere and the reverse. There are several active zones, one being Newfoundland. A polygon was established in the Newfoundland area. The Russian use the acronym NEAZO; the Americans use the acronym NEP.
