Net cuttings waste from fishing in the North-East Atlantic: best practices for mitigation. A report for OSPAR Action 36: to develop best practice in the fishing industry.
(KIMO International for Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, Shetland, UK, 2020)The issue of pollution from waste net cuttings needs to be addressed. These small items, found in abundance on shores and in the marine environment, cause harm to marine wildlife through ingestion and entanglement and ... -
New and updated global empirical seawater property estimation routines.
(2021)We introduce three new Empirical Seawater Property Estimation Routines (ESPERs) capable of predicting seawater phosphate, nitrate, silicate, oxygen, total titration seawater alkalinity, total hydrogen scale pH (pHT), ... -
New elevation data triple estimates of global vulnerability to sea-level rise and coastal flooding.
(2019)Most estimates of global mean sea-level rise this century fall below 2 m. This quantity is comparable to the positive vertical bias of the principle digital elevation model (DEM) used to assess global and national population ... -
A New Global Ocean Climatology.
(2021)A new global ocean temperature and salinity climatology is proposed for two time periods: a long time mean using multiple sensor data for the 1900–2017 period and a shorter time mean using only profiling float data for ... -
A new method for acquiring images of meiobenthic images using the FlowCAM.
(2018)The purpose of this study was to develop a new method for investigating sediment-inhabiting meiobenthos using the Flow Cytometer And Microscope (FlowCAM). Meiobenthos are widely recognized as a useful indicator for assessing ... -
New Ocean Subsurface Optical Properties From Space Lidars: CALIOP/CALIPSO and ATLAS/ICESat-2.
(2021)Remote sensing from Earth-observing satellites is now providing valuable information about ocean phytoplankton distributions. This paper presents the new ocean subsurface optical properties obtained from two space-based ... -
Next-generation biology: Sequencing and data analysis approaches fornon-model organisms.
(2016)As sequencing technologies become more affordable, it is now realistic to propose studying the evolutionary history of virtually any organism on a genomic scale. However, when dealing with non-model organisms it is not ... -
Next-Generation Optical Sensing Technologies for Exploring Ocean Worlds—NASA FluidCam, MiDAR, and NeMO-Net.
(2019)We highlight three emerging NASA optical technologies that enhance our ability to remotely sense, analyze, and explore ocean worlds–FluidCam and fluid lensing, MiDAR, and NeMO-Net. Fluid lensing is the first remote sensing ... -
NOAA and BOEM Minimum Recommendations for Use of Passive Acoustic Listening Systems in Offshore Wind Energy Development Monitoring and Mitigation Programs.
(2021)Offshore wind energy development is rapidly ramping up in United States (U.S.) waters in order to meet renewable energy goals. With a diverse suite of endangered large whale species and a multitude of other protected marine ... -
NOAA Marine Debris Shoreline Survey Field Guide.
(NOAA Marine Debris Program, Silver Spring, MD, 2012)Marine debris has become one of the most widespread pollution problems in the world’s oceans and waterways today. The NOAA Marine Debris Program (MDP) serves as a centralized marine debris resource within NOAA, coordinating ... -
Nonintrusive methods for biomass estimation in aquaculture with emphasis on fish: a review.
(2020)Fish biomass estimation is one of the most common and important practices in aquaculture. The regular acquisition of fish biomass information has been identified as an urgent need for managers to optimize daily feeding, ... -
North Atlantic Ocean OSSE system: Evaluation of operational ocean observing system components and supplemental seasonal observations for potentially improving tropical cyclone prediction in coupled systems.
(2017)Observing System Simulated Experiments (OSSEs) performed during the 2014 North Atlantic hurricane season quantify ocean observing system impacts with respect to improving ocean model initialisation in coupled tropical ... -
A novel method for assessing microplastic effect in suspension through mixing test and reference materials.
(2019)The occurrence of microplastic in the environment is of global concern. However, the microplastic hazard assessment is hampered by a lack of adequate ecotoxicological methods because of conceptual and practical problems ... -
A numerical framework for modeling fate and transport of microplastics in inland and coastal waters.
(2022)Proliferation of microplastics in rivers, lakes, estuaries, coastal waters and oceans is a major global challenge and threat to the environment, livelihoods and human health. Reliable predictive tools can play an essential ... -
Observatory Performance Metrics Best Practices : a white paper from the observatory best practices/lessons learned series.
(Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Washington, DC, 2019)The focus of this paper is effective performance metrics development and how these metrics can improve management success. As best practices implementation objectives are defined, performance metrics can be developed to ... -
Observing System Evaluation Based on Ocean Data Assimilation and Prediction Systems: On-Going Challenges and a Future Vision for Designing and Supporting Ocean Observational Networks.
(2019)This paper summarizes recent efforts on Observing System Evaluation (OS-Eval) by the Ocean Data Assimilation and Prediction (ODAP) communities such as GODAE OceanView and CLIVAR-GSOP. It provides some examples of existing ... -
Ocean acidification studies and the uncertainties relevance on measurements of marine carbonate system properties.
(2018)The global ocean has a key role on the Earth's climate system. It possesses a direct connection with the atmospheric gases, including the greenhouses, allowing exchanges between those compartments and oceanic storage of ... -
Ocean and Atmospheric Observations at the Remote Ieodo Ocean Research Station in the Northern East China Sea.
