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 ...
Ciguatera: a field reference guide.
(Secretariat of Pacific Community (SPC) / Institut Recherche pour le'Developpement (IRD), Noumea, New Caledonia, 2005)
Ciguatera is a form of food poisoning caused by eating fish containing toxins called ciguatoxins which come from micro-algae living on coral reefs. Ciguatera is a significant public health issue in the Pacific and in all ...
Data Identification, Citation and Tracking Best Practices : a white paper from the observatory best practices/lessons learned series.
(Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Washington, DC, 2019)
Data identification and citation are critical for maintaining the standard of reproducibility in science as well as furthering scientific discovery by building off of the works of others. With advances in observation ...
Observatory Performance Metrics Best Practices : a white paper from the observatory best practices/lessons learned series.
(Consortium for Ocean Leadership, Washington, DC, 2019)
The focus of this paper is effective performance metrics development and how these metrics can improve management success. As best practices implementation objectives are defined, performance metrics can be developed to ...
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 ...
In situ quantification of ultra-low O2 concentrations in oxygen minimum zones: Application of novel optodes.
(2016)
Conventional sensors for the quantification of O2 availability in aquatic environments typically have limits of detection (LOD) of > 1 μmol L−1 and do not have sufficient resolution to reliably measure concentrations in ...
Simulation and assimilation of global ocean pCO2 and air–sea CO2 fluxes using ship observations of surface ocean pCO2 in a simplified biogeochemical offline model.
(2010)
We used an offline tracer transport model, driven by reanalysis ocean currents and coupled to a simple biogeochemical
model, to synthesize the surface ocean pCO2 and air–sea CO2 flux of the global ocean from 1996 to 2004, ...
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 ...
