Scientists are launching a multi-pronged study this week to collect information on the peculiar climate of the Pacific Ocean along the coast of Chile and Peru.

For two months, they will be using an unmanned submarine, weather balloons and several airplanes to gather data that they hope will allow them to form a better model on climate change and to understand why temperatures on the Peruvian coast have fallen over the last few decades.
