ICES Guidelines for Surface Drifting Buoy data. (Compiled March 20001; revised August 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)Drifting buoys (UNESCO, 1988) have a long history of use in oceanography, starting in late 1978 with the First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE), principally for the mea surement of currents by following the motions of ... -
ICES Guidelines for Profiling Float data. (Compiled January 2001; revised April 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)Profiling floats are neutrally buoyant devices that periodically surface to transmit data to a satellite system. The float drifts along a specified pressure surface for some period of time (typically seven to 10 days) ... -
ICES Guidelines for Moored ADCP data. (Compiled October 1999; revised August 2001; August 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)ADCPs (acoustic doppler current profiler) were first introduced to the oceanography community in the late 1970s (Rowe and Young, 1979). The instrument measure s water velocity over a range of depths using doppler ... -
ICES Guidelines for Moored Current Meter data. (Compiled October 1999; revised August 2001; April 2009)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2009)Current meters are primarily used for measuring water velocity through time. Moored instruments may use mechanical (rotor and vane), electromagmetic, o r acoustic technology to perform the measurements. Current ... -
ICES Guidelines for Multibeam Echosounder data. (Compiled September 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)If you are considering producing a hydrographic survey please read the following information first. Your survey could be used to compile new or updated nautical charts and so help i mprove safety for mariners.Your ... -
ICES Data Guidelines for Shipboard ADCP data. (Compiled May 1999; revised April 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)ADCPs (acoustic doppler current profiler) were first introduced to the oceanography community in the late 1970s (Rowe and Young, 1979). The instrument measures water veloc ity over a range of depths using doppler ... -
ICES Data Guidelines for Seasoar (Batfish) data. (Compiled May 1999, revised August. 2001; December 2006)
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)The Seasoar (or Batfish) instrument is a towed platform typically equipped with a CTD. Other sensors, such as fluorometers or transmissometers, ma y also be added. The SeaSoar has hydraulically controlled wings, ... -
ICES Data Guidelines for Surface Underway Data. (Compiled December 1999, revised August 2001; May 2006) .
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)Underway near - surface measurements are typically made using the cooling water intake of a vessel. This guideline refers to electronically measured parameters typically including temperature and salinity. ... -
ICES Data Guidelines for Discrete Water Samples. (Compiled December 1999, revised August 2001; June 2006) .
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)In the context of this guideline, discrete water sample data are considered to be any data that result from a single collection of water and so cover s a huge variety of parameters. This collection of water must have ... -
ICES Guidelines for Water Level Data. (Compiled August 1999, revised August 2001, revised May 2006).
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2006)In the context of this guideline, water level data are considered to be measurements taken from digital or analogue gauges positioned at the waters edge. In some locations, water level measurements date back to the ...
