Guide to Moored Buoys and Other Ocean Data Acquisition Systems.
(WMO & IOC Data Buoy Cooperation Panel, 1996)The DBCP at its 2nd session (Geneva October 1986) noted that there was a clear requirement for a technical document on the subject of moored buoys which would both provide essential information for countries wishing to ... -
How to process mooring data? A cookbook for MicroCat, ADCP and RCM data.
(IFM-GEOMAR, Universitat Kiel, Kiel, Germany, 2005)This data report summarizes the processing steps that have been undertaken to cali- brate/process the physical data (temperature, salinity, currents) collected at three moor- ing sites in the Northeast Atlantic within the ... -
Intercomparison of biogeochemical sensors at ocean observatories.
(National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK, 2008)This report gives an overview of the current state of the art in biogeochemical sensing, reviews user experience of systems, summarises efforts to provide quality assessment and control, and makes recommendation ... -
Global Intercomparability in a Changing Ocean: an international time-series methods workshop, November 28-30, 2012 (Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, St. Georges, Bermuda).
(Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program and International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP), 2013)To address methodological approaches and data intercomparability across shipboard time-‐series... This workshop focused specifically on the methods employed by each time-series with the aim of enhancing data ... -
An Oceanographers’ and Marine Meteorologists’ Cookbook for Submitting Data and Metadata in Real-time and Delayed Mode.
(Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM), Geneva, Switzerland, 2015)There are many marine meteorological and oceanographic (met-ocean) observations which are not currently contributing to WMO and IOC Applications. Several reasons may explain the situation, including for example reluctance ... -
Handbook of best practices for open ocean fixed observatories.
(European Commission, Fix03 Project, 2016)This handbook collects the “best practices” in all phases of the system covering the entire infrastructural chain of data acquisition. It includes recommendations on how to produce high quality data aiming towards common ... -
Passive Acoustic Monitoring from Fixed Platform Observatories. Deliverable 12.6, FixO3.
(IFREMER for FIXO3, Brest, France, 2017)The development of fixed platform observatories provides an excellent opportunity to measure ocean noise and to acoustically monitor for marine mammals. The addition of passive acoustic monitoring equipment to such a ... -
