Guidance on Setup, Calibration, and Validation of Hydrodynamic, Wave, and Sediment Models for Shelf Seas and Estuaries.
(2017)
This paper is motivated by a present lack of clear model performance guidelines for shelf sea and estuarine modellers seeking to
demonstrate to clients and end users that a model is fit for purpose. It addresses the common ...
QWMN Good Modelling Practice Principles.
(State of Queensland Department of Environment and Science, Queensland, Australia, 2018)
Best practice modelling reduces model uncertainties and quantitatively and qualitatively
documents any uncertainties and assumptions for user transparency. Conversely, poor
modelling practices contribute to uncertainties ...
Best Practices for Increasing Data Return: Case Study From Indian Ocean Observation Network
(2019)
Sustained real-time ocean observation systems using moored data buoys are
vital for understanding ocean dynamics and variability, which are essential for
improving oceanographic services including weather prediction, ...
Passive acoustic monitoring in ecology and conservation.
(WWF-UK, Woking, UK, 2017)
are urgently needed to understand how global change is affecting wildlife and ecosystems.
Sound is an important component of any habitat, and sound recordings made in the field
offer potentially rich sources of ecological ...
Development of a Low-Cost Arduino-Based Sonde for Coastal Applications.
(2016)
This project addresses the need for an expansion in the monitoring of marine environments
by providing a detailed description of a low cost, robust, user friendly sonde, built on Arduino Mega
2560 (Mega) and Arduino Uno ...
Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a Ski-Monkey III towed benthic camera system. [Training Video]
(Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)
The Ski-Monkey III benthic camera system is a passive, towed camera mounted on a squat, stainless steel frame, resting on two 10 cm wide skis. It consists of an underwater module, containing pressure housings that are ...
Performance Characteristics of “Spotter,” a Newly Developed Real-Time Wave Measurement Buoy.
(2019)
The Spotter is a low-cost, real-time, solar-powered wave measurement buoy that was recently developed by Spoondrift Technologies, Inc. (Spoondrift). To evaluate the data quality of the Spotter device, we performed a series ...
Characterization of Extreme Wave Conditions for Wave Energy Converter Design and Project Risk Assessment.
(2020)
Best practices and international standards for determining n-year return period extreme
wave (sea states) conditions allow wave energy converter designers and project developers the
option to apply simple univariate or ...
Good Practice Guide for Underwater Noise Measurement.
(National Measurement Office, Marine Scotland, The Crown Estate, Teddington, England, 2014)
This document provides guidance on best practice for in-situ measurement of underwater sound, for
processing the data, and for reporting the measurements using appropriate metrics .
Measured noise levels are sometimes ...
