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.
(2020)A regional neural network-based method, “CANYON-MED” is developed to estimate nutrients and carbonate system variables specifically in the Mediterranean Sea over the water column from pressure, temperature, ... -
Report of the Joint US Office of Naval Research, International Whaling Commission and US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Workshop on Cetacean Tag Development, Tag Follow-up and Tagging Best Practices.
(2020)The Workshop was held at the National Marine Fisheries Service office in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA from 6 to 8 September 2017. During this Workshop, limited time was devoted to the topic of understanding the impacts ... -
Reporting Guidelines to Increase the Reproducibility and Comparability of Research on Microplastics.
(2020)The ubiquitous pollution of the environment with microplastics, a diverse suite of contaminants, is of growing concern for science and currently receives considerable public, political, and academic attention. The potential ... -
Requirements for an Integrated in situ Atlantic Ocean Observing System From Coordinated Observing System Simulation Experiments.
(2019)A coordinated effort, based on observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs), has been carried out by four European ocean forecasting centers for the first time, in order to provide insights on the present and future ... -
Review of acoustical and optical techniques to measure absolute salinity of seawater.
(2022)The salinity of seawater is of fundamental importance in climate studies, and the measurement of the variable requires high accuracy and precision in order to be able to resolve its typically small variations in the ... -
A review of global ocean temperature observations: Implications for ocean heat content estimates and climate change.
(2013)The evolution of ocean temperature measurement systems is presented with a focus on the development and accuracy of two critical devices in use today (expendable bathythermographs and conductivity-temperature-depth instruments ... -
A Review of modelling approaches on tidal analysis and prediction.
(2019)Tide height depends on both long-term astronomical effects that are principally affected by the moon and sun and short-term meteorological effects caused by severe weather conditions which are very important tasks for human ... -
A review of ocean color remote sensing methods and statistical techniques for the detection, mapping and analysis of phytoplankton blooms in coastal and open oceans.
