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
Elaine McDonagh - NOC overall PI and the main contact for research ship expeditions.
Yvonne Firing - coordinates all WP3 (ocean exchanges) activities across all centres.
George Nurser coordinates modelling activities across centres and work packages.
Liz Kent – coordinates WP1 (air-sea interface) activities across all centres.
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.
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 – coordinates all WP3 (ocean exchanges) activities across all centres, and lead for SRB1 (Drake Passage cruises)
Sue Hartman – biogeochemistry – WP3 carbonate chemistry
Ed Mawji – nutrient biogeochemistry, dissolved oxygen and nutrient hydrochemical observations
Elaine McDonagh is NOC overall PI and the main contact for research ship expeditions.
