About NABOS
NABOS is part of the Arctic Observing Network. NABOS research is funded by the National Science foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Since the early 2000s, the goal of NABOS has been to compile a cohesive picture of climatic changes in the Eurasian and Makarov basins of the Arctic Ocean. NABOS works to understand:
- how boundary currents transport Atlantic Water
- how Atlantic Water interacts with shelf waters, the deep basin interior, and the upper ocean
- changes in upper ocean circulation within these basins
