Quantifying Daytime Heating Biases in Marine Air Temperature Observations from Ships.
(2023)Marine air temperatures recorded on ships during the daytime are known to be biased warm on average due to energy storage by the superstructure of the vessels. This makes unadjusted daytime observations unsuitable for many ... -
Recommendations for the design of in situ sampling strategies to reconstruct fine-scale ocean currents in the context of SWOT satellite mission.
(2023)The new Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission aims to provide sea surface height (SSH) measurements in two dimensions along a wideswath altimeter track with an expected effective resolution down to ... -
Ten simple rules for making a vocabulary FAIR
(2021)We present ten simple rules that support converting a legacy vocabulary—a list of terms available in a print-based glossary or in a table not accessible using web standards—into a FAIR vocabulary. Various pathways may ... -
Ecosystem Model Skill Assessment. Yes We Can!
(2016)Accelerated changes to global ecosystems call for holistic and integrated analyses of past, present and future states under various pressures to adequately understand current and projected future system states. Ecosystem ... -
Accurate oxygen measurements on modified Argo floats using in situ air calibrations.
(2016)Oxygen is an important tracer for biological processes in the ocean. Measuring changes in oxygen over annual cycles provides information about photosynthesis and respiration and their impact on the carbon cycle. Long-term, ... -
A toolbox for secondary quality control on ocean chemistry and hydrographic data.
(2015)High quality, reference measurements of chemical and physical properties of seawater are of great importance for a wide research community, including the need to validate models and attempts to quantify spatial and ... -
Oceanids C2: An Integrated Command, Control, and Data Infrastructure for the Over-the-Horizon Operation of Marine Autonomous Systems.
(2020)Long-range Marine Autonomous Systems (MAS), operating beyond the visual line-of-sight of a human pilot or research ship, are creating unprecedented opportunities for oceanographic data collection. Able to operate for up ... -
Modelled Mapping of Continuous Underwater Noise Generated by Activities.
(Marine Management Organisation, 2015)This report on underwater noise in the South marine plan areas has been prepared by ABP Marine Environmental Research Ltd (ABPmer) on behalf of the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). Quantification of underwater noise ... -
Handbook of Survey Methodology Plastics Leakage (developed for CSIRO Global Plastic Pollution Baseline Project). Version 1.4.
(CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, Canberra, Australia, 2020)We are using field sampling to measure, and mathematical modelling to estimate, the distribution and movement of plastic waste near urban centres, along waterways, on the coastline and in the ocean. We are designing robust ... -
Reporting Guidelines to Increase the Reproducibility and Comparability of Research on Microplastics.
(2020)The ubiquitous pollution of the environment with microplastics, a diverse suite of contaminants, is of growing concern for science and currently receives considerable public, political, and academic attention. The potential ... -
High level review of a wide range of proposed marine geoengineering techniques.
(GESAMP: Joint GESAMP Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection, London, UK, 2019)This is the first dedicated assessment of the wide range of proposed marine geoengineering approaches. It catalogues 27 approaches (including variations of approaches) and details 8 illustrative examples from the ... -
A Century of Sonar: Planetary Oceanography, Underwater Noise Monitoring, and the Terminology of Underwater Sound.
(2015)The current terminology of underwater sound, as documented, for example, by (Urick, 1983), was developed during and after the Second World War (ASA, 1951; Urick, 1967), and has evolved little since then (Jensen et al., ... -
International Union of Geological Sciences Manual of Standard Methods for Establishing the Global Geochemical Reference Network.
(International Union of Geological Sciences Commission on Global Geochemical Baselines, Athens, Greece, 2022)“Everything in and on the Earth - mineral, animal and vegetable - is made from one, or generally some combination of, the natural chemical elements occurring in the rocks of the Earth’s crust and the surficial materials ... -
Handbook of methods for the analysis of the various parameters of the carbon dioxide system in sea water. Version 2.
(Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, 1994)The collection of extensive, reliable, oceanic carbon data is a key component of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). A portion of the US JGOFS oceanic carbon dioxide measurements will be made during the World Ocean ... -
Basic fishing methods: a comprehensive guide to commercial fishing methods.
(Seafish, Edinburgh, Scotland, 2022)Basic Fishing Methods provides a wealth of basic knowledge on how wild fish and shellfish are caught using a range of fishing methods. You may be keen to see how different types of gear work, or just interested in the ... -
Fishing for data and sorting the catch: assessing the data quality, completeness and fitness for use of data in marine biogeographic databases.
(2015)Being able to assess the quality and level of completeness of data has become indispensable in marine biodiversity research, especially when dealing with large databases that typically compile data from a variety of ... -
Advancing real-time pH sensing capabilities to monitor coastal acidification as measured in a productive and dynamic estuary (Rıá de Arousa, NW Spain).
(2022)Ocean acidification has critical impacts on marine ecosystems, but presents knowledge gaps on the ecological impacts requiring large-scale monitoring of physicochemical conditions to predict biological responses to ocean ... -
Quantifying 210Po/210Pb Disequilibrium in Seawater: A Comparison of Two Precipitation Methods With Differing Results.
(2021)The disequilibrium between lead-210 (210Pb) and polonium-210 (210Po) is increasingly used in oceanography to quantify particulate organic carbon (POC) export from the upper ocean. This proxy is based on the deficits of ... -
Modified FlowCAM procedure for quantifying size distribution of zooplankton with sample recycling capacity.
(2017)We have developed a modified FlowCAM procedure for efficiently quantifying the size distribution of zooplankton. The modified method offers the following new features: 1) prevents animals from settling and clogging with ... -
Maori methods and indicators for marine protection : Summary of research findings.
(Ngāti Kere, Ngāti Kōnohi, Ministry for the Environment, Department. of Conservation, Wellington, New Zealand, 2007)As stated in the original research proposal for the Maori Methods and Indicators for Marine Protection project that was submitted to the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, marine reserves meet many conservation ...
