Comment on this resource
This radio broadcast reports on the Sea, Air Land, Modeling and Observation Network (or SALMON) project, which aims to predict undersea conditions in Prince William Sound offshore southern Alaska. The goal is to place a host of scientific instruments into the Sound that would track in real time such things as ocean currents, temperature and salinity. The data would be used to create computer models of the ocean circulation that could possibly be used to predict the flow of oil spills and create ocean forecasts for fishermen. The clip is 4 minutes and 7 seconds in length.
