    • Validation and Intercomparison of Ocean Color Algorithms for Estimating Particulate Organic Carbon in the Oceans. 

      Evers-King, Hayley; Martinez-Vicente, Victor; Brewin, Robert J. W.; Dall’Olmo, Giorgio; Hickman, Anna E.; Jackson, Thomas; Kostadinov, Tihomir S.; Krasemann, Hajo; Loisel, Hubert; Röttgers, Rüdiger; Roy, Shovonlal; Stramski, Dariusz; Thomalla, Sandy; Platt, Trevor; Sathyendranath, Shubha (2017)
      Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) plays a vital role in the ocean carbon cycle. Though relatively small compared with other carbon pools, the POC pool is responsible for large fluxes and is linked to many important ocean ...

    • Vessel Response Plan: COVID-19. Rev 1.4. 

      Virginia Institute of Marine Science (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 ...

    • Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a Baited Remote Underwater Video System. [Training Video] 

      Bernard, Anthony; Juby, Roxanne; Haupt, Tanya; von der Meden, Charles; Snyders, Laurenne; van der Heever, Grant (Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)
      Baited remote underwater stereo-video systems, or stereo-BRUVs, are minimally invasive sampling tools used to collect data on the diversity, abundance and size of fishes as well as information on the benthic habitat where ...

    • Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a shallow-water drop camera system. [Training video] 

      Haupt, Tanya; von der meden, Charles; Snyders, Laurenne; van der Heever, Grant; Bernard, Anthony (Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)
      Drop cameras are simple frame-deployed systems of various configurations that are designed to take photographic still images or videos of the seafloor. These tools are non-destructive and can go to beyond SCUBA depths, ...

    • Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a Ski-Monkey III towed benthic camera system. [Training Video] 

      von der meden, Charles; Snyders, Laurenne; van der Heever, Grant; Haupt, Tanya; Bernard, Anthony (Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)
      The Ski-Monkey III benthic camera system is a passive, towed camera mounted on a squat, stainless steel frame, resting on two 10 cm wide skis. It consists of an underwater module, containing pressure housings that are ...

    • A vision for FAIR ocean data products. 

      Tanhua, Toste; Lauvset, Siv K.; Lange, Nico; Olsen, Are; Álvarez, Marta; Diggs, Stephen; Bittig, Henry C.; Brown, Peter J.; Carter, Brendan R.; Cotrim da Cunha, Leticia; Feely, Richard A.; Hoppema, Mario; Ishii, Masao; Jeansson, Emil; Kozyr, Alex; Murata, Akihiko; Pérez, Fiz F.; Pfeil, Benjamin; Schirnick, Carsten; Steinfeldt, Reiner; Telszewski, Maciej; Tilbrook, Bronte; Velo, Anton; Wanninkhof, Rik; Burger, Eugene; O’Brien, Kevin; Key, Robert M. (2021)
      The ocean is mitigating global warming by absorbing large amounts of excesscarbon dioxide from human activities. To quantify and monitor the ocean carbonsink, we need a state-of-the-art data resource that makes data ...

    • Wind Speed Measured from Underwater Gliders Using Passive Acoustics. 

      Cauchy, Pierre; Heywood, Karen J.; Merchant, Nathan D.; Queste, Bastien Y.; Testor, Pierre (2018)
      Wind speed measurements are needed to understand ocean–atmosphere coupling processes and their effects on climate. Satellite observations provide sufficient spatial and temporal coverage but are lacking adequate calibration, ...

    • Wind–Wave Modeling: Where We Are, Where to Go. 

      Cavaleri, Luigi; Barbariol, Francesco; Benetazzo, Alvise (2020)
      We perform a critical analysis of the present approach in wave modeling and of the related results. While acknowledging the good quality of the best present forecasts, we point out the limitations that appear when we ...

    • YARD: A Tool for Curating Research Outputs. 

      Peer, Limor; Dull, Joshua (2020)
      Repositories increasingly accept research outputs and associated artifacts that underlie reported findings, leading to potential changes in the demand for data curation and repository services. This paper describes a ...

    • Zooplankton monitoring to contribute towards addressing global biodiversity conservation challenges 

      Chiba, S.; Batten, S.; Martin, C.S.; Ivory, S.; Miloslavich, P.; Weatherdon, L.V. (2018)
      Oceanographers have an increasing responsibility to ensure that the outcomes of scientific research are conveyed to the policy-making sphere to achieve conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity. Zooplankton ...
