Current status of SOLAS planning

Currently, four projects form SOLAS Brazil. These are:

1. FluTuA-Turbulent Fluxes Over The Tropical Atlantic
2. Numerical Study Of The Surface Fluxes In The South Atlantic
3. Sea Waves And Coastal Monitoring At São Paulo State
4. Global Scale Studies Of Oceanic Fluxes Using Remote Sensing

Visit the SOLAS-Brazil website to read more about each project.

 

Future plans for national activities

From the scientific point of view the idea is to use SOLAS as an umbrella to motivate the formation of local research groups in universities and research institutions in Brazil focusing on air-sea interactions.
