Warren White is a professor
emeritus , and a former 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.
[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 .
[5] As well as its direct oceanographic value, this data was also important for determining the scale of features of interest, thus influencing the design of later observational networks.

His research interests included:
He is known for his work on the
Antarctic Circumpolar Wave .
