(Sea-Bird Electronics Inc, Bellevue, WA, 2017)This manual is to be used with the SBE 63 Digital Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor. It is organized to guide the user from installation through operation and data collection. We’ve included detailed specifications, command ... -
Guía para el control de calidad de datos de temperatura y salinidad obtenidos en cruceros oceanográficos regionales.
(Permanent Commission for the South Pacific (CPPS), Guayaquil, Ecuador, 2022)This publication is a product of the Specialized Working Group of Database (GTE-BD in Spanish) of regional cruises of the Permanent Commission for the South Pacific (CPPS), with the contributions of institutions from Chile, ... -
How can Earth Scientists Contribute to Community Resilience? Challenges and Recommendations.
(2022)Community resilience increases a place-based community’s capacity to respond and adapt to life-changing environmental dynamics like climate change and natural disasters. In this paper, we aim to support Earth science’s ... -
App D13.09 - Underwater noise baseline and modelling (Revision 1.0).
(Subacoustech Environmental Ltd, Bishops Waltham, UK, 2017)Horizon Nuclear Power (Horizon) intends to submit a separate Development Consent Order (DCO) and Marine Licence application for a new Nuclear Power Station on land adjacent to the Existing Power Station. The proposed ... -
R language-based methods for revealing taxonomic and functional diversity and tracing process of fish fauna.
(2018)This paper presented the fish species richness at geographical unit of the Yangtze River. According to the fish taxonomic catalogs and biological traits, R language method was used to determine taxonomic diversity ... -
EMFF Benthic Impacts Decision Support Tool User Manual Version 4.0.
(Bangor University, Bangor, Wales, 2020)Bottom trawl fisheries impact sedimentary habitats to various degrees. It is difficult to determine whether a fishery is causing serious or irreversible harm to a habitat objectively. Marine protected areas are areas that ... -
QWMN Good Modelling Practice Principles.
(State of Queensland Department of Environment and Science, Queensland, Australia, 2018)Best practice modelling reduces model uncertainties and quantitatively and qualitatively documents any uncertainties and assumptions for user transparency. Conversely, poor modelling practices contribute to uncertainties ... -
Coastal Management Software to Support the Decision-Makers to Mitigate Coastal Erosion.
(2020)There are no sequential and integrated approaches that include the steps needed to perform an adequate management and planning of the coastal zones to mitigate coastal erosion problems and climate change effects. Important ... -
On the impact of Citizen Science-derived data quality on deep learning based classification in marine images.
(2019)The evaluation of large amounts of digital image data is of growing importance for biology, including for the exploration and monitoring of marine habitats. However, only a tiny percentage of the image data collected is ... -
Creation of a global tide analysis dataset: Application of NEMO and an offline objective analysis scheme.
(2021)The accurate prediction of tides is vital for the operation of many industries, early warning of coastal flooding and scientific understanding of ocean processes. In this paper, we describe the creation method of a global ... -
Bayesian statistics and modelling.
(2021)Bayesian statistics is an approach to data analysis based on Bayes’ theorem, where available knowledge about parameters in a statistical model is updated with the information in observed data. The background knowledge ... -
Citizen science for monitoring seasonal‑scale beach erosion and behaviour with aerial drones.
(2021)Sandy beaches are highly dynamic systems which provide natural protection from the impact of waves to coastal communities. With coastal erosion hazards predicted to increase globally, data to inform decision making on ... -
Particle motion: the missing link in underwater acoustic ecology.
(2016)1. Sound waves in water have both a pressure and a particle-motion component, yet few studies of underwater acoustic ecology have measured the particle-motion component of sound. While mammal hearing is based on detection ... -
Measuring Salinity and Density of Seawater Samples with Different Salt Compositions and Suspended Materials.
(2021)Determining the solute mass amount in seawater using in situ measurements in seas and oceans is currently an unresolved problem. To solve it, it is necessary to develop both new methods and instruments for measurements. ... -
Guidance Note on the Application of Coastal Modelling for Small Island Developing States.
(National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool, UK, 2020)Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are very diverse, but have something in common: they are all vulnerable to human-induced climate change, but have contributed very little to causing the problem, due to their small ... -
The smoother the better? A comparison of six post-processing methods to improve short-term offshore wind power forecasts in the Baltic Sea.
(2021)With a rapidly increasing capacity of electricity generation from wind power, the demand for accurate power production forecasts is growing. To date, most wind power installations have been onshore and thus most studies ... -
Comparison of five modelling techniques to predict the spatial distribution and abundance of seabirds.
(2012)The number and complexity of modelling techniques used to predict species distributions has increased substantially over the past decades (Hegel et al., 2010), and several comparisons of model performance have been carried ... -
Best Practice Guide for Underwater Particle Motion Measurement for Biological Applications.
(University of Exeter for the IOGP Marine Sound and Life Joint Industry Programme, Exeter, UK, 2021)The problem: All sound comprises fluctuations in pressure and particle motion (PM) and all fishes and many aquatic invertebrates detect PM. Noise is unwanted or harmful sound, and underwater anthropogenic noise is a global ... -
Guidance on Setup, Calibration, and Validation of Hydrodynamic, Wave, and Sediment Models for Shelf Seas and Estuaries.
(2017)This paper is motivated by a present lack of clear model performance guidelines for shelf sea and estuarine modellers seeking to demonstrate to clients and end users that a model is fit for purpose. It addresses the common ... -
Divers as Citizen Scientists: Response Time, Accuracy and Precision of Water Temperature Measurement Using Dive Computers.
(2021)There is a lack of depth-resolved temperature data, especially in coastal areas, which are often commonly dived by SCUBA divers. Many case studies have demonstrated that citizen science can provide high quality data, ...
