Figure 10. Schematic "cartoon" of potential observations to be conducted within the U.S. GLOBEC Northeast Pacific study. Regional process-studies (years labelled 1-5) are shaded. Potential monitoring transects (not exclusive) are shown as black lines and are labelled a-h. Also shown are three deep water moorings (large circles) in the Gulf of Alaska. Not shown are satellite observations, VOS sampling, PALACE floats, drifters, and details of sampling in process-study regions. PALACE floats and other Lagrangian instruments could be deployed within the region bounded by the dashed line.
