What Does BOMEX Stand For?

BOMEX stands for Barbados Oceanographic And Meteorological Experiment

BOMEX, or Barbados Oceanographic And Meteorological Experiment, is a comprehensive research initiative aimed at studying oceanographic and meteorological processes in the Caribbean region. Conducted in the 1970s, BOMEX sought to enhance the understanding of the interactions between ocean dynamics and atmospheric phenomena, particularly in relation to weather patterns and climate variability. The data collected from this experiment has contributed significantly to advancements in meteorological forecasting and oceanographic science.
