Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction

Although widely supported internationally, the system has only been partially implemented (as of 2012[update]) due to pirate activity off the coast of Somalia.What RAMA will contribute is large scale, long term data with high temporal resolution.RAMA will complete the worldwide network of tropical ocean observing buoys, which will help with modeling and forecasting.[2][3] The data RAMA collects will facilitate the study of "ocean-atmosphere interactions, mixed layer dynamics, and ocean circulation related to the monsoon on intraseasonal to decadal time scales."Farmers in Australia were able to use the data provided by RAMA to prepare for a bad growing season in 2008.
