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 ... -
Uncertainty Quantification in Mooring Cable Dynamics Using Polynomial Chaos Expansions.
(2020)Mooring systems exhibit high failure rates. This is especially problematic for offshore renewable energy systems, like wave and floating wind, where the mooring system can be an active component and the redundancy in the ... -
Uncertainty Quantification Use Case: Moored Temperature Sensor Measurement Uncertainty.
(2019)The oceanographic community acknowledges the need to better quantify the uncertainty of their measurements, but such quantifications are daunting. Requests for examples are often heard (Simpson, 2021). This example is ... -
Unified Geomorphological Analysis Workflows with Benthic Terrain Modeler.
(2018)High resolution remotely sensed bathymetric data is rapidly increasing in volume, but analyzing this data requires a mastery of a complex toolchain of disparate software, including computing derived measurements of the ... -
UNOLS Research Vessel Safety Standards, 10th Edition, July 2015.
(University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), Narragansett, RI, 2015)The UNOLS Research Vessel Safety Standards (RVSS) are the standards for the operation of oceanographic research vessels owned, operated or chartered by members of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System ... -
Update to UNOLS Considerations for Conducting Seagoing Science. Version 1.7.
(University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), 2021)The following information and guidance is provided as an update and adjustment to previous UNOLS Guidance related to conducting science onboard U.S. Academic Research Fleet vessels (see: 1June2020 UNOLS COVID-19 ... -
Updated methods for global locally interpolated estimation of alkalinity, pH, and nitrate.
(2018)We have taken advantage of the release of version 2 of the Global Data Analysis Project data product (Olsen et al. 2016) to refine the locally interpolated alkalinity regression (LIAR) code for global estimation of total ... -
USACE Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory Quality Controlled, Consistent Measurement Archive
(2022)The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) utilizes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy measurements for validation of their wave models and within coastal ... -
The use of potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution as a suitable approach to isolate plastics ingested by marine organisms.
(2017)In studies of plastic ingestion by marine wildlife, visual separation of plastic particles from gastrointestinal tracts or their dietary content can be challenging. Earlier studies have used solutions to dissolve organic ... -
Using ERDDAP to access tabular data. [Training video]
(U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole, MA, 2015)This eleven-minute tutorial video demonstrates the utility of NOAA’s Environmental Research Division's Data Access Program (ERDDAP) service, and how to access and use it. ERDDAP is a free and open-source application used ... -
Using the Red Band Difference Algorithm to Detect and Monitor a Karenia spp. Bloom off the South Coast of Ireland, June 2019.
(2021)During the months of May, June, July and August 2019 the Red Band Difference algorithm was tested over Irish waters to assess its suitability for the Irish harmful algal bloom alert system. Over the 4 weeks of June an ... -
