Technical Note: Animal-borne CTD-Satellite Relay Data Loggers for real-time oceanographic data collection.
(2009)The increasing need for continuous monitoring of the world oceans has stimulated the development of a range of autonomous sampling platforms. One novel addition to these approaches is a small, relatively inexpensive ... -
Technical note: Novel triple O2 sensor aquatic eddy covariance instrument with improved time shift correction reveals central role of microphytobenthos for carbon cycling in coral reef sands.
(2021)The aquatic eddy covariance technique stands out as a powerful method for benthic O2 flux measurements in shelf environments because it integrates effects of naturally varying drivers of the flux such as current flow ... -
Ten principles for machine-actionable data management plans.
(2019)Data management plans (DMPs) are documents accompanying research proposals and project outputs. DMPs are created as free-form text and describe the data and tools employed in scientific investigations. They are often ... -
A toolbox for secondary quality control on ocean chemistry and hydrographic data.
(2015)High quality, reference measurements of chemical and physical properties of seawater are of great importance for a wide research community, including the need to validate models and attempts to quantify spatial and ... -
Toward a Harmonization for Using in situ Nutrient Sensors in the Marine Environment.
(2020)Improved comparability of nutrient concentrations in seawater is required to enhance the quality and utility of measurements reported to global databases. Significant progress has been made over recent decades in improving ... -
Toward the widespread application of low-cost technologies in coastal ocean observing (Internet of Things for the Ocean).
(2021)The ability to access user-friendly, low-cost instrumentation remains a limiting factor in coastal ocean observing. The majority of currently available marine observation equipment is difficult to deploy, costly to operate, ... -
Towards Chip-Based Salinity Measurements for Small Submersibles and Biologgers.
(2013)Water’s salinity plays an important role in the environment. It can be determined by measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD). The corresponding sensor systems are commonly large and cumbersome. Here, a 7.5 × ... -
Towards population genomics in non-model species with large genomes: a case study of the marine zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus.
(2019)Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and the development of genome-reduced representation protocols have opened the way to genome-wide population studies in non-model species. However, species with large ... -
Towards quantifying uncertainty in ocean heat content changes using synthetic profiles.
(2019)Observational estimates of global ocean heat content (OHC) change are used to assess Earth’s energy imbalance over the 20th Century.However, intercomparison studies show that the mappingmethods used to interpolate sparse ... -
Towards wide-swath high-resolution mapping of total ocean surface current vectors from space: Airborne proof-of-concept and validation.
(2017)Two-dimensional high-resolution maps of total surface current vectors obtained for the first time with an airborne demonstrator of the innovative Wavemill instrument concept are validated against HF radar data and compared ... -
Tracks in the Snow – Advantage of Combining Optical Methods to Characterize Marine Particles and Aggregates.
(2020)Settling marine aggregates, such as zooplankton fecal pellets and marine snow, transport organic matter from the surface ocean to the deep sea and are largely responsible for the ocean’s sequestration of carbon. However, ... -
Traditional Fishing Gears and Methods of the Bodo Tribes of Kokrajhar, Assam.
(2023)Fish and fishery are an important part of the culture and tradition of many tribal communities of North East India including the Bodo tribes of Assam. The Bodos use varieties of unique traditional fishing gears and ... -
Training Manual on Best Practices for Instruments and Methods of Ocean Observation. Regional Workshop on ‘Best Practices for Instruments and Methods of Ocean Observation’. 19 – 21 November 2012.
(WMO/DBCP; NIOT; BOBLME Project and BOBP-IGO,, Chennai, India, 2012)This Training Manual on ‘Best Practices for Instruments and Methods of Ocean Observation’ is prepared on the occasion of the Regional Workshop on ‘Best Practices for Instruments and Methods of Ocean Observation’ organized ... -
Tuning without over-tuning: parametric uncertainty quantification for the NEMO ocean model.
(2017)In this paper we discuss climate model tuning and present an iterative automatic tuning method from the statistical science literature. The method, which we refer to here as iterative refocussing (though also known as ... -
Turning the tide of parachute science.
(2021)Parachute science is the practice whereby international scientists, typically from higher-income countries, conduct field studies in another country, typically of lower income, and then complete the research in their home ... -
UKEOF Guidance Note 1: ECVs - sources of information on GCOS requirements and international standards relevant to climate observing.
(UK Environmental Observation Framework (UKEOF), Bailrigg, UK, 2013)The GCOS Implementation Plan provides a programme of recommendations actions over a 5 year period to assist countries in understanding, predicting, and managing their response to climate and climate change. In the GCOS ... -
Układ nadzorujący ustrój instrumentu pomiarowego i zabezpieczający go przed wpływem niepożądanej wilgoci. [The system for monitoring and protecting the measuring instrument from the influence of unwanted moisture.]
(The Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, Poland, 2018)An object of the invention is a system for supervising a measuring instrument system and protecting it from the influence of unwanted moisture. It is especially useful during continuous pCO2/CH4 measurements using the full ... -
Uncertainties of Estimating Extreme Significant Wave Height for Engineering Applications Depending on the Approach and Fitting Technique—Adriatic Sea Case Study.
(2020)Studies on the extrapolation of extreme significant wave height, based on long-term databases, are extensively covered in literature. An engineer, working in the field of naval architecture, marine engineering, or maritime ... -
Uncertainty estimates of remote sensing reflectance derived from comparison of ocean color satellite data sets.
(2016)Assigning uncertainty to ocean-color satellite products is a requirement to allowinformed use of these data. Here, uncertainty estimates are derived using the comparison on a 12th-degree grid of coincident daily records ... -
Uncertainty in Ocean-Color Estimates of Chlorophyll for Phytoplankton Groups.
(2017)Over the past decade, techniques have been presented to derive the community structure of phytoplankton at synoptic scales using satellite ocean-color data. There is a growing demand from the ecosystem modeling community ...
