Guidance to Manage the Risk to Marine Mammals from Man-made Sound Sources in Irish Waters.
(Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Dublin, Ireland, 2014)
There has been increasing concern internationally about the potentially harmful effect of man-made
sound on the marine environment and species therein that could be sensitive to it. Sound that is derived
from human ...
Sediment sampling.
(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Athens, GA, 2014)
This document describes general and specific procedures, methods and considerations to
be used and observed when collecting sediment samples for field screening or laboratory
analysis.
The procedures contained in this ...
Rigorous Evaluation of a Fraternal Twin Ocean OSSE System for the Open Gulf of Mexico.
(2014)
Anew fraternal twin ocean observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) system is validated in a Gulf of
Mexico domain. It is the first ocean system that takes full advantage of design criteria and rigorous evaluation
procedures ...
A Hessian-based method for uncertainty quantification in global ocean state estimation.
(2014)
Derivative-based methods are developed for uncertainty quantification (UQ) in largescale ocean state estimation. The estimation system is based on the adjoint method for solving
a least-squares optimization problem, whereby ...
Free-ocean CO2 enrichment (FOCE) systems: present status and future developments.
(2014)
Free-ocean CO2 enrichment (FOCE) systems are
designed to assess the impact of ocean acidification on biological
communities in situ for extended periods of time
(weeks to months). They overcome some of the drawbacks
of ...
The JANUS Underwater Communications Standard.
(IEEE, 2014)
There are currently no digital underwater communications
standards. In this paper we describe JANUS, a
simple multiple-access acoustic protocol designed and tested by
the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and ...
Monitoring ship noise to assess the impact of coastal developments on marine mammals.
(2014)
The potential impacts of underwater noise on marine mammals are widely recognised, but uncertainty
over variability in baseline noise levels often constrains efforts to manage these impacts. This paper
characterises ...
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.
(2014)
The need for more effective environmental monitoring of the open and coastal ocean has recently led to
notable advances in satellite ocean color technology and algorithm research. Satellite ocean color sensors’
data are ...
Data Citation and Publication for Researchers.
(UK Environmental Observation Framework (UKEOF), Bailrigg, UK, 2014)
Data are a fundamental part of the research process. Without them, it is impossible to
verify the results of published studies or reproduce the science. Yet modern datasets
are so large that it is not practical for the ...
Data Governance.
(UK Environmental Observation Framework (UKEOF), Bailrigg, UK, 2014)
Data is the lifeblood of any business and is a valued resource and an asset. Good data
governance means that all data has a designated owner (usually someone senior in
the organisation) to ensure it is managed and looked ...
