Developing Autonomous Observing Systems for Micronutrient Trace Metals.
(2019)Trace metal micronutrients are integral to the functioning of marine ecosystems and the export of particulate carbon to the deep ocean. Although much progress has been made in mapping the distributions of metal micronutrients ... -
Satellite Radiation Products for Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry: Needs, State-of-the-Art, Gaps, Development Priorities, and Opportunities.
(2018)Knowing the spatial and temporal distribution of the underwater light field, i.e., the spectral and angular structure of the radiant intensity at any point in the water column, is essential to understanding the biogeochemical ... -
Wind Speed Measured from Underwater Gliders Using Passive Acoustics.
(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, ... -
Compendium: Coastal Management Practices on West Africa. Existing and potential solutions to control coastal erosion, prevent flooding and mitigate damage to society.
(World Bank, Washington D.C., 2022)Erosion and flooding are the most visible consequences of coastal zone degradation in West Africa. Man-made and natural processes, aggravated by the effects of climate change, cause erosion and flooding. These threatened ... -
Best practice in seabed image analysis for determining taxa, habitat, or substrata distributions.
(Ministry for Primary Industries, Wellington, N.Z., 2020)This is a review of seabed imaging survey methods and their application in New Zealand, focusing on the deep sea and covering the fields of image acquisition, data extraction from imagery, and data management. The potential ... -
Monte Carlo–Based Quantification of Uncertainties in Determining Ocean Remote Sensing Reflectance from Underwater Fixed-Depth Radiometry Measurements.
(2020)A new framework that enables evaluation of the in situ ocean color radiometry measurement uncertainty is presented. The study was conducted on the multispectral data from a permanent mooring deployed in clear open ocean ... -
Determination of dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved nitrogen in seawater using High Temperature Combustion Analysis. [GOOS ENDORSED PRACTICE]
(2022)This document describes best practices for analysis of dissolved organic matter (dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved nitrogen) in seawater samples. Included are SOPs for sample collection and storage, details ... -
A numerical framework for modeling fate and transport of microplastics in inland and coastal waters.
(2022)Proliferation of microplastics in rivers, lakes, estuaries, coastal waters and oceans is a major global challenge and threat to the environment, livelihoods and human health. Reliable predictive tools can play an essential ... -
Modeling Environmental DNA Transport in the Coastal Ocean Using Lagrangian Particle Tracking.
(2019)A number of studies have illustrated the utility of environmental DNA (eDNA) for detecting marine vertebrates. However, little is known about the fate and transport of eDNA in the ocean, thus limiting the ability to ... -
Best Practices for Increasing Data Return: Case Study From Indian Ocean Observation Network
(2019)Sustained real-time ocean observation systems using moored data buoys are vital for understanding ocean dynamics and variability, which are essential for improving oceanographic services including weather prediction, ... -
Ideas and perspectives: Proposed best practices for collaboration at cross-disciplinary observatories,
(2019)Interdisciplinary science affords new opportunities but also presents new challenges for biogeosciences collaboration. Since 2007, we have conducted site-based interdisciplinary research in central PA, USA, at the ... -
Guidance on Best Practice for Marine and Coastal Physical Processes Baseline Survey and Monitoring Requirements to inform EIA of Major Development Projects.
(Natural Resources Wales, Cardiff, Wales, 2018)The purpose of this report is to provide guidance on marine, coastal and estuarine physical processes Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) baseline survey and monitoring requirements for major development projects, ... -
Best Practices for Comparing Ocean Turbulence Measurements across Spatiotemporal Scales.
(2021)The turbulent energy dissipation rate in the ocean can be measured by using rapidly sampling microstructure shear probes, or by applying a finescale parameterization to coarser-resolution density and/or shear profiles. ... -
Comparison of three quick methods to estimate crab size in the land crabs Cardisoma guanhumi Latreille, 1825 and Ucides cordatus (Crustacea: Brachyura: Gecarcinidae and Ucididae).
(2012)Quick, reliable and non destructive methods are necessary to estimate size structure on commercial land crabs, in order to acquire relevant information concerning the health of their populations. Cardisoma guanhumi and ... -
