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 ...
Evaluation of an acoustic remote sensing method for frontal-zone studies using double-diffusive instability microstructure data and density interface data from intrusions.
(2016)
Understanding intrusive exchange at oceanic water mass fronts may depend on building data-constrained models of the processes, but obtaining the needed representative and comprehensive data is challenging. Acoustic imaging ...
The Marine Biosecurity Porthole – a web-based information system on non-indigenous marine species in New Zealand .
(2015)
The Marine Biosecurity Porthole was created in 2010 as a collaboration between New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and
the National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) to provide greater ...
Emerging Methodologies Applied to Automated Data Quality Control.
(2018)
Oceanographers have faced three specific challenges for the past half-century: limited electrical power, challenging data telemetry, and biofouling. Amazing advances are being made in all three areas, and substantial ...
The KPP Boundary Layer Scheme for the Ocean: revisiting its formulation and benchmarking one-dimensional simulations relative to LES.
(2018)
We evaluate the Community ocean Vertical Mixing project version of the K-profile
parameterization (KPP) for modeling upper ocean turbulent mixing. For this purpose, one-dimensional
KPP simulations are compared across a ...
A generic framework for individual-based modelling and physical-biological interaction.
(2018)
The increased availability of high-resolution ocean data globally has enabled more detailed
analyses of physical-biological interactions and their consequences to the ecosystem. We
present IBMlib, which is a versatile, ...
Best Practices for Fine-tuning Visual Classifiers to New Domains.
(Springer, Switzerland, 2016)
Recent studies have shown that features from deep convolutional neural networks learned using large labeled datasets, like ImageNet, provide effective representations for a variety of visual recognition
tasks. They achieve ...
Metrological challenges for measurements of key climatological observables: Oceanic salinity and pH, and atmospheric humidity. Part 1: Overview.
(2016)
Water in its three ambient phases plays the central thermodynamic role in the terrestrial climate
system. Clouds control Earth’s radiation balance, atmospheric water vapour is the strongest
“greenhouse” gas, and ...
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 ...
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services: Good Practice Guidance for Oil and Gas Operations in Marine Environments.
(Fauna and Flora (FFI), Cambridge UK, 2017)
Our oceans produce more than half of the oxygen in our atmosphere, as well as absorbing carbon. Over
three billion people depend on marine resources for food, and the coastal environment supports the
livelihoods of more ...
