Scientists probe Indian Ocean for clues to worldwide weather patterns
Description: An international team of researchers will begin gathering in the Indian Ocean next month to study how tropical weather brews there and then moves eastward along the equator with reverberating effects around the entire globe. The six-month field campaign will help improve long-range weather forecasts and seasonal outlooks, and enable scientists to further refine computer models of global climate.
