People and Roles

NOC staff involved in ORCHESTRA

ORCHESTRA activities

Activities are divided between three work packages:

• WP1 Interaction of the Southern Ocean with the atmosphere
• WP2 Exchange between the upper-ocean mixed layer and the interior
• WP3 Exchange between the Southern Ocean and the global ocean

Main points of contact

Yvonne Firing - NOC overall PI, the main contact for research ship expeditions, and coordinates all WP3 (ocean exchanges) activities across all centres.

Liz Kent – coordinates WP1 (air-sea interface) activities across all centres.

George Nurser coordinates modelling activities across centres and work packages.

NOC Air-sea interface team

Liz Kent – coordinates WP1 (air-sea interface) activities across all centres.

David Berry – air-sea flux parameterisations and flux-related surface fields.

Stavroula Biri - air-sea flux parameterisations and flux-related surface fields.

Giuseppe Foti – satellite winds from GNSSR.

Margaret Yelland - analysis of direct measurements of heat fluxes from WAGES program.

NOC Hydrography and biogeochemistry team

Brian King - leads the Hydrography team and is secondary contact for fieldwork. He is also lead contact for Deep and Biogeochemical Argo floats.

Peter Brown - calculation of large scale carbon budget and flux estimates.

Yvonne Firing - NOC overall PI, the main contact for research ship expeditions, and coordinates all WP3 (ocean exchanges) activities across all centres including SR1b (Drake Passage expeditions).
