Patterns of suspended and salp-ingested microplastic debris in the North Pacific investigated with epifluorescence microscopy.
(2020)
Microplastics (< 5 mm) have long been a concern in marine debris research, but quantifying the smallest microplastics
(< 333 μm) has been hampered by appropriate collection methods, like net tows. We modified standard
...
A High Spatial Resolution FBG Sensor Array for Measuring Ocean Temperature and Depth.
(2020)
Exploring and understanding the ocean is an important field of scientific study. Acquiring
accurate and high-resolution temperature and depth profiles of the oceans over relatively short
periods of time is an important ...
Best Practices for Shipboard Underway Transmissometers. Version 1.
(Florida State University, Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies, Tallahassee, FL, 2020)
This best practice document was developed under the Rolling Deck to Repository
project by a small working group comprised of the document authors. These
recommendations are specifically for transmissometers installed ...
A Guide to Using GitHub for Developing and Versioning Data Standards and Reporting Formats.
(2021)
Data standardization combined with descriptive metadata facilitate data reuse, which is
the ultimate goal of the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles. Community
data or metadata standards ...
Improved Calibration and Data Processing Procedures of OPUS Optical Sensor for High-Resolution in situ Monitoring of Nitrate in Seawater.
(2021)
Nitrate, an essential nutrient for primary production in natural waters, is optically
detectable in the ultraviolet spectral region of 217–240 nm, with no chemical reagents
required. Optical nitrate sensors allow monitoring ...
The CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance.
(2020)
Concerns about secondary use of data and limited opportunities for benefit-sharing have focused attention on the tension that Indigenous communities feel between (1) protecting Indigenous rights and interests in Indigenous ...
A Simple and Inexpensive Method for Manipulating Dissolved Oxygen in the Lab.
(2021)
Changes in dissolved oxygen concentration can cause dramatic shifts in chemical, biological, and ecological processes in aquatic systems. In shallow coastal areas, this can happen on short timescales, with oxygen increasing ...
Best Practices to reduce marine litter from net cuttings waste.
(KIMO International for Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management, Shetland, UK, 2020)
The primary source of net cuttings in the North Sea is from trawl nets
that are being repaired on board fishing vessels at sea and on the
quayside in port. Sections of net that have been damaged through
regular wear and ...
Plankton Toolbox User’s Guide: for Plankton Toolbox Version 1.3.2/1.3.3.
(Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, Gothenburg, Sweden, 2020)
Plankton form the base of the food web in most aquatic ecosystems. There is a need to estimate the biomass, abundance and the biodiversity of plankton organisms. Eutrophication, climate change, invasive species and harmful ...
Vessel Response Plan: COVID-19. Rev 1.4.
(Virginia Institute of Marine Science, Gloucester Point, VA, 2021)
The purpose of this document is to provide policies, recommendations and procedures for safely
conducting sea-going science on Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) vessels as it relates
specifically to the prevention ...
