2.  Integrative analysis of the US GLOBEC Programs.
Proposals are encouraged that enable synthesis of data and      results from all three U.S. GLOBEC programs. understanding how transport processes provide a connection between regional, local, and small scales and how they affect the dynamics of target species should be addressed.  Understanding the functioning of the systems will allow for the design of projects to explore commonalities and differences in these systems including circulation patterns and dynamics of target populations.
