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 ... -
Fish-Killing Marine Algal Blooms: Causative Organisms, Ichthyotoxic Mechanisms, Impacts and Mitigation.
(UNESCO-IOC/SCOR., Paris, France, 2023)Fish-killing microalgal blooms are responsible for much greater global socio-economic impacts than the well-studied HAB species causing seafood biotoxin contamination. Examples are the 1972 Chattonella marina bloom in ... -

(2020)The GO-SHIP nutrient manual covers all aspects of nutrient analysis from basic samplecollection and storage, specifically for Continuous Flow analysis using an Auto-Analyzer,and describes some specific nutrient methods for ... -
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. -
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 ... -
International Quality-Controlled Ocean Database (IQuOD) v0.1: The Temperature Uncertainty Specification.
(2021)Ocean temperature observations are crucial for a host of climate research and forecasting activities, such as climate monitoring, ocean reanalysis and state estimation, seasonal-to-decadal forecasts, and ocean forecasting. ... -
