ISRaD (International Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study)

ISRaD (International Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study) is a global research initiative focused on understanding how the ocean and the atmosphere interact, especially how they exchange gases like carbon dioxide. This exchange influences climate change, ocean health, and weather patterns. ISRaD gathers data from ships, buoys, and laboratories worldwide to improve climate models and predict future environmental changes. By studying these interactions in detail, scientists aim to better understand the Earth's climate system and develop strategies to mitigate human impacts on the environment.
