Warren White is a professor emeritus, and a former a Research Oceanographer at the Marine Biological Research Division at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.[1]

White, with 'Buzz' Bernstein, was instrumental in the development and operation of the TRANSPAC XBT Volunteer Observing Ship program.[2][3] Between 1976 and 1984, commercial ships crossing the Pacific Ocean recorded expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data. This data became instrumental in a number of studies, particularly around the Kuroshio Current.[4][5] As well as its direct oceanographic value, this data was also important for determining the scale of features of interest, and thus the design of later observational networks.[6]

His research interests included:

  • Planetary wave dynamics
  • Global climate change
  • Coupled ocean-atmosphere interaction

He is best known for the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave.[7][8][9]
