Comparing historical and modern methods of sea surface temperature measurement – Part 1: Review of methods, field comparisons and dataset adjustments.
(2013)
Sea surface temperature (SST) has been obtained
from a variety of different platforms, instruments and depths
over the past 150 yr. Modern-day platforms include ships,
moored and drifting buoys and satellites. Shipboard ...
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 climatology‐based quality control procedure for profiling float oxygen data.
(2013)
Over 450 Argo profiling floats equipped with oxygen sensors have been deployed, but no quality control (QC) protocols have been adopted by the oceanographic community for use by Argo data centers. As a consequence, the ...
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 × ...
Genomics in marine monitoring: New opportunities for assessing marine health status.
(2013)
This viewpoint paper explores the potential of genomics technology to provide accurate, rapid, and cost efficient observations of the marine environment. The use of such approaches in next generation marine monitoring ...
Marine litter within the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
(2013)
There have been numerous anthropogenic-driven changes to our planet in the last half-century. One of the most evident changes is the
ubiquity and abundance of litter in the marine environment. The EU Marine Strategy ...
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 ...
Evaluation of methods to concentrate and purify ocean virus communities through comparative, replicated metagenomics.
(2013)
Viruses have global impact through mortality, nutrient cycling and horizontal gene transfer, yet their study is limited by complex methodologies with little validation. Here, we use triplicate metagenomes to compare common ...
Handbook of Methods for the Analysis of Oceanographic Parameters at the CARIACO Time-series Station: Cariaco Time Series Study.
(Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales, Caracas, Venezuela, 2013)
The focus of the program “CARIACO Oceanographic Time Series” is the collection of a set of oceanographic, biogeochemical and ecological observations at a specific location (10° 30'N, 64° 40'W), in the deepest area of the ...
How to Develop Research Data Management Services - a guide for HEIs.
(Digital Curation Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland, 2013)
The purpose of this guide is to help institutions understand the key aims and issues associated with planning implementing Research Data Management (RDM) services.
