Estimation of extreme wind wave heights.
(WMO & IOC, Geneva, 2000)This publication provides not simple estimates of extreme wind wave heights, but informative and authoritative support in their decision-making. -
Chlorophyll a: Determination by spectroscopic methods.
(International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), Copenhagen, Denmark, 2001)Chlorophyll a is the principal pigment in plants. As a biomass indicator of aquatic microalgae which support food webs in the sea, it is probably the most frequently measured biochemical parameter in oceanography. This ... -
Manual on sea level measurement and interpretation. Volume III - Reappraisals and Recommendations as of the year 2000.
(UNESCO-IOC for IODE, Paris, France, 2002)This manual is concerned primarily with techniques for the measurement of what are called relative sea level changes which means changes relative to the level of the land upon which the measuring instrument (the tide gauge) ... -
