Plate Tectonics 



Scientists with the marine geophysics program, 

 in the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological 

 Laboratories, were among the very early 

 proponents of plate tectonic theory and 

 continental drift, particularly in the use of ocean 

 bottom and continental shelf topography to make 

 detailed fits of the present continents into the 

 proto continent, Pangaea, prior to breakup.

Subprograms of the Global Atmospheric 

 Research Program— GATE, BOMEX 



The Barbados oceanographic and meteorologi- 

 cal experiment (BOMEX) was a large-scale air-sea 

 interaction field experiment conducted in the vi- 

 cinity of the island of Barbados in late spring and 

 early summer of 1969 and involved the coordinat- 

 ed talents and resources of Federal agencies and 

 academic institutions. The primary objectives 

 were to study the total ocean-atmosphere system 

 within a limited oceanic area and to develop a pi- 

 lot field study that may be used for planning and 

 executing similar experiments in the future within 

 the framework of the long-range global atmos- 

 pheric research program (GARP) of the I970"s. 



Field work for the GARP Atlantic tropical ex- 

 periment (GATE) in the eastern tropical North 

 Atlantic was completed in 1974 in collaboration 

 with many national and international research 

 groups. The objectives were to define the small- 

 scale convection and other processes occurring in 

 the atmosphere and upper ocean, and to parame- 

 terize these phenomena in large-scale atmosphere 

 and ocean circulation models.
