NOAA Teacher at Sea Dave Grant
Dave Grant, a professor at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft, New Jersey and TAS alumni, was aboard NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown for 17 days in February while scientists conducted climate research in the sub-tropical Atlantic off the coast of the Bahamas. Specifically, this ongoing study, called Western Boundary Time Series (WBTS), is a project that consists of two components to monitor the western boundary currents in the subtropical Atlantic: the Florida Current and the Deep Western Boundary Current, both of which greatly affect the climates of the U.S. and Europe.
