Quality Assurance & Quality Control of Wave Data 2016, Version 1.0.01.
(Channel Coastal Observatory, National Oceanography Centre, Southampton UK, 2017)The National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes of England has developed a coastal wave network which concentrates on measurements in shallow water where, traditionally, there are very few long-term wave ... -
Quality Assurance of Oceanographic Observations: Standards and Guidance Adopted by an International Partnership.
(2019)Scientists who observe and distribute oceanographic data require a process to ensure high-quality data. This process includes quality assurance, quality control, quality assessment, standards, and best practices. In this ... -
Quality Control of Lidar Data, Version 1.0.
(Channel Coastal Observatory, National Oceanography Centre, Southampton UK, 2017)An important driver for the Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes is that all data collected and made freely available should be quality-controlled in a thorough and consistent manner, to ensure that the data meets the ... -
Quality control procedure for single beam hydrographic data, Version 1.
(Channel Coastal Observatory, National Oceangraphy Centre, Southampton UK, 2019)An important driver for the Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes is that all data collected and made freely available should be quality controlled in a thorough and consistent manner, to ensure that the data meets the ... -
Quantifying 210Po/210Pb Disequilibrium in Seawater: A Comparison of Two Precipitation Methods With Differing Results.
(2021)The disequilibrium between lead-210 (210Pb) and polonium-210 (210Po) is increasingly used in oceanography to quantify particulate organic carbon (POC) export from the upper ocean. This proxy is based on the deficits of ... -
Quantifying pCO2 in biological ocean acidification experiments: a comparison of four methods.
(2017)Quantifying the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in seawater is an essential component of ocean acidification research; however, equipment for measuring CO2 directly can be costly and involve complex, bulky apparatus. ... -
Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical Measurement, 3rd Edition.
(Eurachem/CITAC, Teddington, UK, 2012)This Guide gives detailed guidance for the evaluation and expression of uncertainty in quantitative chemical analysis, based on the approach taken in the ISO “Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement” [H.2]. ... -
The quest for seafloor macrolitter: a critical review of background knowledge, current methods and future prospects.
(2021)The seafloor covers some 70% of the Earth’s surface and has been recognised as a major sink for marine litter. Still, litter on the seafloor is the least investigated fraction of marine litter, which is not surprising ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A rapid method for assessing the accumulation of microplastics in the sea surface microlayer (SML) of estuarine systems.
(2018)Microplastics are an increasingly important contaminant in the marine environment. Depending on their composition and degree of biofouling, many common microplastics are less dense than seawater and so tend to float at ... -
Real Time Quality Control of biogeochemical measurements.Version 2.5. [MyOcean WP.15]
(Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA), Norway, 2015)The present version includes a more detailed description of challenges and difficulties related to real -time data quality control (RTQC) from biogeochemical (BGC) sensors as opposed to data from physical sensors has ... -
Reassessment of long-period constituents for tidal predictions along the German North Sea coast and its tidally influenced rivers.
(2019)The harmonic representation of inequalities (HRoI) is a procedure for tidal analysis and prediction that combines aspects of the non-harmonic and the harmonic method. With this technique, the deviations of heights ... -
Recent advances in biofouling protection for oceanographic instrumentation.
(MTS/IEEE, Washington, DC, 2015)Although biofouling continues to be one of the most significant factors limiting the long-term deployment of oceanographic instrumentation, recent advances in technology advances are providing highly effective mitigation ... -
Recommendations for improved and coherent acquisition and processing of backscatter data from seafloor-mapping sonars.
(2018)Multibeam echosounders are becoming widespread for the purposes of seafloor bathymetry mapping, but the acquisition and the use of seafloor backscatter measurements, acquired simultaneously with the bathymetric data, are ... -
Recommendations for the Standardisation of OpenTaxonomic Nomenclature for Image-Based Identifications.
(2021)This paper recommends best practice for the use of open nomenclature (ON) signs applicable to image-based faunal analyses. It is one of numerous initiatives to improve biodiversity data input to improve the reliability ... -
Recommended Best Practices for Regional Fisheries Management Organizations: Report of an independent panel to develop a model for improved governance by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations.
(Chatham House, London, UK, 2007)One of the great innovations of the UN Fish Stocks Agreement of 1995 was to place regional fi sheries management organizations (RFMOs) at the heart of international fi sheries management. It was hoped that a multilateral ... -
Reconstructing Global Chlorophyll-a Variations Using a Non-linear Statistical Approach.
(2020)Monitoring the spatio-temporal variations of surface chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl, a proxy of phytoplankton biomass) greatly benefited from the availability of continuous and global ocean color satellite measurements ... -
Redes Colaborativas para o Monitoramento - Microplástico - Guia de práticas para o monitoramento de microplástico em praias arenosas.
(Our Blue Hands, Brazil, 2021)This monitoring protocol for microplastics on sand beaches is carried out by Our Blue Hands project. It was adapted from the microplastics monitoring methodology of the European Union produced in 2013, from the University ... -
A Regional Neural Network Approach to Estimate Water-Column Nutrient Concentrations and Carbonate System Variables in the Mediterranean Sea: CANYON-MED.
