OceanScope: a Proposed Partnership between the Maritime Industries and the Ocean Observing Community to Monitor the Global Ocean Water Column. Report of SCOR/IAPSO Working Group 133.
(2012)The ocean plays an absolutely central role in the Earth’s climate and ecosystems. Despite its widely acknowledged importance, the interior of the ocean continues to be seriously under-sampled due to its ... -
Guide to best practices to study the ocean's surface.
(Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom for SCOR, Plymouth, UK, 2014)This guide is a deliverable of the SCOR Sea Surface Microlayer Working Group. It reviews the most widely used SML sampling techniques and provides best practice sampling protocols for studying the ocean's surface. -
Methods for biogeochemical studies of sea ice: the state of the art, caveats, and recommendations.
(2015)Over the past two decades, with recognition that the ocean’s sea-ice cover is neither insensitive to climate change nor a barrier to light and matter, research in sea-ice biogeochemistry has accelerated significantly, ... -
SCOR WG 142: Quality Control Procedures for Oxygen and Other Biogeochemical Sensors on Floats and Gliders. Recommendation for oxygen measurements from Argo floats, implementation of in-air-measurement routine to assure highest long-term accuracy.
(Ifremer, Plouzane, France, 2015)As Argo has entered its second decade and chemical/biological sensor technology is improving constantly, the marine biogeochemistry community is starting to embrace the successful Argo float program. An augmentation of the ... -
The International thermodynamic equation of seawater – 2010: calculation and use of thermodynamic properties. [includes corrections up to 31st October 2015] .
(UNESCO, París, France, 2015)This document outlines how the thermodynamic properties of seawater are evaluated using the International Thermodynamic Equation Of Seawater – 2010 (TEOS-‐‑10). This thermodynamic ... -
IOCCP-JAMSTEC 2015 Inter-Laboratory Calibration Exercise of a Certified Reference Material for Nutrients in Seawater. Version 1.2.
(International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project / Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), Yokosuka, Japan, 2016)The objective of this inter-laboratory calibration exercise is to evaluate and improve comparability of global nutrients data in the world ocean. IOCCP and JAMSTEC co-organized an inter-laboratory calibration exercise of ... -
The Production of Methane and Nitrous Oxide Gas Standards for Scientific Committee on Ocean Research (SCOR) Working Group #143.
(Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (NOAA-PMEL) for SCOR WG 143, Seattle, WA, 2016)The Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) is the leading international non - governmental organization for the promotion and coordination of international oceanographic activities, with the aim to solve ... -
Toward a Quality-Controlled and Accessible Pitzer Model for Seawater and Related Systems.
(2016)We elaborate the need for a quality-controlled chemical speciation model for seawater and related natural waters, work which forms the major focus of SCOR Working Group 145. Model development is based on Pitzer equations ... -
Commentary on the outputs and future of Biogeochemical Exchange Processes at Sea-Ice Interfaces (BEPSII).
(2017)Biogeochemical processes associated with sea ice are still inadequately described and poorly represented in models, making it difficult to properly quantify the impacts of climate change in polar regions. Within the framework ... -
IOCCP-JAMSTEC 2018 Inter-laboratory Calibration Exercise of a Certified Reference Material for Nutrients in Seawater.
(International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project / Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Yokosuka, Japan, 2018)In 2017, the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP) and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) decided to conduct the 6th International Inter-Calibration Exercise, the “2017/18 ... -

(Ifremer, Plouzane, France, 2018)As Argo has entered its second decade and chemical/biological sensor technology is improving constantly, the marine biogeochemistry community is starting to embrace the successful Argo float program. An augmentation of the ... -
Oxygen Optode Sensors: Principle, Characterization, Calibration, and Application in the Ocean .
(2018)Recently, measurements of oxygen concentration in the ocean – one of the most classical parameters in chemical oceanography – are experiencing a revival. This is not surprising, given the key role of oxygen for assessing ... -
An intercomparison of oceanic methane and nitrous oxide measurements.
(2018)Large-scale climatic forcing is impacting oceanic biogeochemical cycles and is expected to influence the water-column distribution of trace gases, including methane and nitrous oxide. Our ability as a scientific community ... -
Dried, closed-path eddy covariance method for measuring carbon dioxide flux over sea ice.
(2018)The Arctic marine environment plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, there remain large uncertainties in how sea ice affects air–sea fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2), partially due to disagreement between ... -
An Algorithm for Classifying Unknown Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) Instruments Based on Existing Metadata.
(2018)Time-varying biases in expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments have emerged as a key un- certainty in estimates of historical ocean heat content variability and change. One of the challenges in the development of ... -
Melt Procedure Affects the Photosynthetic Response of Sea Ice Algae.
(2019)The accuracy of sea ice algal production estimates is influenced by the range of melting procedures used in studies to obtain a liquid sample for incubation, particularly in relation to the duration of melt and the ... -
