2020-2021 Best practices guide for minimizing marine life entanglement.
(California Ocean Protection Council, Sacramento, CA, 2019)Whale and sea turtle entanglements are a concern for fishermen, the public, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Ocean Protection Council and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The California ... -
3D Recording and Interpretation for Maritime Archaeology.
(Springer Open, Cham, Switzerland, 2019)The need for a volume focused on the use of 3D technologies in maritime archaeology has become increasingly apparent to practitioners in the field. This is due to an exponential increase in the application of several ... -
7 Ocean Data Things: A Self-Guided Course. [TRAINING COURSE]
(2023)The 7 Ocean Data Things project is based on 23 Data Things by Helene Blowers, but given an Ocean Data context for early career researchers. The 7 Ocean Data Things project is a self guided course, part of CIOOS’ Data ... -
Aanderaa Oxygen Optodes: Best Practices for Maintaining High Data Quality.
(Aanderaa Data Instruments AS, Bergen, Norway, 2018)This document gives recommendations on field adjustments of oxygen optodes. Done correctly a one or two-point adjustment of an optode will give it almost the same accuracy as when it was factory calibrated. By following ... -
Abundance and survival rates of the Hawai’i Island associated spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) stock.
(2014)Reliable population estimates are critical to implement effective management strategies. The Hawai’i Island spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is a genetically distinct stock that displays a rigid daily behavioural ... -
Accuracy assessment of Go Pro Hero 3 (Black) camera in underwater environment. XXIII ISPRS Congress, 12–19 July 2016, Prague, Czech Republic.
(2016)Modern digital cameras are increasing in quality whilst decreasing in size. In the last decade, a number of waterproof consumer digital cameras (action cameras) have become available, which often cost less than $500. A ... -
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, ... -
Adding Oxygen to Argo: Developing a Global In Situ Observatory for Ocean Deoxygenation and Biogeochemistry.
(European Space Agency, Paris, France, 2010)We propose to add dissolved oxygen sensors to the Argo (Global array of free-drifting profiling floats)float program in order to determine, on a global-scale, seasonal to decadal time-scale ... -
Advancing best practices for assessing trends of ocean acidification time series.
(2022)Assessing the status of ocean acidification across ocean and coastal waters requires standardized procedures at all levels of data collection, dissemination, and analysis. Standardized procedures for assuring quality and ... -
Advancing coastal ocean modelling, analysis, and prediction for the US Integrated Ocean Observing System.
(2017)This paper outlines strategies that would advance coastal ocean modelling, analysis and prediction as a complement to the observing and data management activities of the coastal components of the US Integrated Ocean ... -
Advancing Marine Biogeochemical and Ecosystem Reanalyses and Forecasts as Tools for Monitoring and Managing Ecosystem Health.
(2019)Ocean ecosystems are subject to a multitude of stressors, including changes in ocean physics and biogeochemistry, and direct anthropogenic influences. Implementation of protective and adaptive measures for ocean ecosystems ... -
Advancing Observation of Ocean Biogeochemistry, Biology, and Ecosystems With Cost-Effective in situ Sensing Technologies.
(2019)Advancing our understanding of ocean biogeochemistry, biology, and ecosystems relies on the ability to make observations both in the ocean and at the critical boundaries between the ocean and other earth systems at relevant ... -
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 ... -
African Marine Litter Monitoring Manual.
(African Marine Waste Network, Sustainable Seas Trust, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, 2020)Universally, concerns are mounting over the ubiquitous increase in plastic in waterways and oceans of the world. It is commonly stated that about 80% of plastic waste enters the seas from land-based sources, of which ... -
Air Oxygen Calibration of Oxygen Optodes on a Profiling Float Array.
(2015)Aanderaa optode sensors for dissolved oxygen show remarkable stability when deployed on profiling floats, but these sensors suffer from poor calibration because of an apparent drift during storage (storage drift). It has ... -
Alliance for Coastal Technologies Workshop Proceedings: National Coastal Ecosystem Moorings Workshop. University of Washington 20-21 March 2018..
(Alliance for Coastal Technologies(ACT) and NOAA/US Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), Solomons, MD, 2018)The Alliance for Coastal Technologies (ACT, www.act-us.info) convened the "National Coastal Ecosystem Moorings Workshop" in Seattle, Washington at the University of Washington on 20 and 21 March 2018. The primary objectives ... -
An Alternative to Static Climatologies: Robust Estimation of Open Ocean CO2 Variables and Nutrient Concentrations From T, S, and O2 Data Using Bayesian Neural Networks.
(2021)This work presents two new methods to estimate oceanic alkalinity (AT), dissolved inorganic carbon (CT), pH, and pCO2 from temperature, salinity, oxygen, and geolocation data. “CANYON-B” is a Bayesian neural network ... -
American Academy of Underwater Sciences Standards for Scientific Diving.
(American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS), Dauphin Island, AL, 2016)Since 1951 the scientific diving community has endeavored to promote safe, effective diving through self-imposed diver training and education programs. Over the years, manuals for diving safety have been circulated between ... -
Analysis of Uncertainties Associated to Underwater Hyperspectral Attenuation Measurements.
