Observing System Simulation Experiments; justifying new Arctic observation capabilities.
(NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction, 2013)The Arctic is recognized as one of the key areas of the globe, both in terms of its sensitivity to climate change, and by the increasing economic activity that is expected with the opening up of Arctic areas in a warming ... -
Ocean Colour Remote Sensing in Polar Seas.
(International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), Dartmouth, NS, Canada, 2015)Accelerating climate change calls for a vastly improved understanding of the polar ecosystems based on an intensive observation program. In situ observations from ships are, however, inherently sparse in space and time, ... -
Ocean Frontier Institute Indigenous Engagement Guide.
(Ocean Frontier Institute, Halifax, NS, Canada, 2021)The Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI) has developed an Indigenous (Inuit, Métis, and First Nation) Engagement Guide (The Guide or Guide) to facilitate efforts toward respectful and meaningful engagement with Indigenous ... -
Oceanographic and Marine Meteorological Observations in the Polar Regions - A report to the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology.
(WMO & IOC, Observations Coordination Group (OCG), 2000)In Geneva, December 6-8, 1999, a meeting of experts was held to discuss a JCOMM/GOOS Polar Region Strategy. It was agreed on the importance of developing an integrated Polar Region Strategy Document for JCOMM. This document ... -
Oil spill response capabilities and technologies for ice-covered Arctic marine waters: a review of recent developments and established practices.
(2017)Renewed political and commercial interest in the resources of the Arctic, the reduction in the extent and thickness of sea ice, and the recent failings that led to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, have prompted industry ... -
Oligotrophy and pelagic marine bacteria: Facts and fiction.
(1997)Oligotrophy, or the inability of bacterial cells to propagate at elevated nutrient concentrations, is a controversial phenomenon in microbiology. The exact cause of the unculturability of many indigenous marine bacteria ... -
On the Benefit of Current and Future ALPS Data for Improving Arctic Coupled Ocean-Sea Ice State Estimation.
(2017)Autonomous and Lagrangian platforms and sensors (ALPS) have revolutionized the way the subsurface ocean is observed. The synergy between ALPS-based observations and coupled ocean-sea ice state and parameter estimation as ... -
On-site and in situ remediation technologies applicable to metal-contaminated sites in Antarctica and the Arctic: a review.
(2014)Effective management of contaminated land requires a sound understanding of site geology, chemistry and biology. This is particularly the case for Antarctica and the Arctic, which function using different legislative ... -
Parameterization of vertical chlorophyll a in the Arctic Ocean: impact of the subsurface chlorophyll maximum on regional, seasonal, and annual primary production estimates.
(2013)Predicting water-column phytoplankton biomass from near-surface measurements is a common approach in biological oceanography, particularly since the advent of satellite remote sensing of ocean color (OC). In the Arctic ... -
Parametrization of Eddy Mass Transport in the Arctic Seas Based on the Sensitivity Analysis of Large-Scale Flows.
(2023)The characteristics of eddy mass transport are estimated depending on the values of the parameters of a large-scale flow that forms under the conditions of the shelf seas in the Arctic. For this, the results of numerical ... -
People of the Ice Bridge: the future of the Pikialasorsuaq.
(Inuit Circumpolar Council Canada, Ottawa, Canada, 2017)Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic) name for the North Water polynya shared by Canada and Greenland. Polynyas are areas of open water that remain ice-free throughout the winter due to ocean and wind currents. They are incredibly ... -
Polar Region Bathymetry: Critical Knowledge for the Prediction of Global Sea Level Rise.
(2022)The ocean and the marine parts of the cryosphere interact directly with, and are affected by, the seafloor and its primary properties of depth (bathymetry) and shape (morphology) in many ways. Bottom currents are largely ... -
Pollution in the Arctic Ocean: An overview of multiple pressures and implications for ecosystem services.
(2022)The Arctic is undergoing unprecedented change. Observations and models demonstrate significant perturbations to the physical and biological systems. Arctic species and ecosystems, particularly in the marine environment, ... -
The power of multi-matrix monitoring in the Pan-Arctic region: plastics in water and sediment.
(2023)Litter and microplastic assessments are being carried out worldwide. Arctic ecosystems are no exception and plastic pollution is high on the Arctic Council's agenda. Water and sediment have been identified as two of the ... -
A Practical guide to the designation of ship corridors in maritime spatial planning. Work Package 4.4 [Baltic LINes].
(Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie, Hamburg, Germany, 2018)This practical guide has been developed by the partnership of several planning authorities in course of the Interreg project Baltic LINes. The guide is strongly related and therefore also added as annex to the Baltic ... -
Prediction of Dominant Ocean Parameters for Sustainable Marine Environment.
(2021)Prediction of ocean parameters is the rising interest in ocean-related fields to perceive variations in climatic conditions. Most of the existing methods reveal that predictions involve a single parameter, namely Sea Surface ... -
Prevalence of heavy fuel oil and black carbon in Arctic shipping, 2015 to 2025.
(International Council on Clean Transportation, Washington D.C.., 2017)Dwindling sea ice is opening new shipping routes through the Arctic, with shipping activity expected to increase with oil and gas development and as ships take advantage of shorter trans-Arctic routes from Asia to Europe ... -
Project and Community Management in Polar Sciences – Challenges and Opportunities.
(2019)Because geoscientific research often occurs via community-instigated bursts of activity with multi-investigator collaborations variously labelled as e.g., years (The International Polar Year IPY), experiments (World Ocean ... -
A quantitative assessment of Arctic shipping in 2010–2014.
(2016)Rapid loss of sea ice is opening up the Arctic Ocean to shipping, a practice that is forecasted to increase rapidly by 2050 when many models predict that the Arctic Ocean will largely be free of ice toward the end of summer. ... -
