Essential ocean variables for global sustained observations of biodiversity and ecosystem changes [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2018
AbstractSustained observations of marine biodiversity and ecosystems focused on specific conservation and management problems are needed around the world to effectively mitigate or manage changes resulting from anthropogenic pressures. These observations, while complex and expensive, are required by the international scientific, governance and policy ...

Technological Trends and Significance of the Essential Ocean Variables by the Indian Moored Observatories: Relevance to UN Decade of Ocean Sciences

Marine Technology Society Journal, 2021
Abstract The ocean plays a key role in regulating the climate as well as supporting diverse ecosystems. Technology is the key for the sustained and precise in-situ spatio-temporal measurements of the physical, biological, biogeochemical, and near-atmospheric meteorological parameters essential for carrying out effective assessments of the status ...

Ocean Sound Essential Ocean Variable Implementation Plan.

2023
This document provides guidance for the addition of acoustic observations to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) through implementation of the Ocean Sound Essential Ocean Variable (EOV). The goal of this Ocean Sound EOV Implementation Plan is to define a baseline of how ocean sound observations are collected, analyzed, managed and reported.

Measuring and Reporting on Seagrass as an Essential Ocean Variable for Science and Management

BioScience
Abstract To effectively manage and protect ocean life and the people who depend on it, we need coordinated, comparable observations of ocean biodiversity. Seagrass cover and composition is an essential ocean variable (EOV) of the Global Ocean Observing System because seagrasses are the foundation of coastal ecosystems worldwide, and ...

An improved optical classification scheme for the Ocean Colour Essential Climate Variable and its applications

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2017
The Ocean Colour Climate Change Initiative (OC-CCI) has produced a climate-quality, error characterised, dataset of ocean-colour products (a designated Essential Climate Variable or ‘ECV’). The OC-CCI project uses an optical classification scheme based on fuzzy logic (Moore et al. 2001), to assign product uncertainties on a pixel-by-pixel basis.

Developing an essential ocean variable for the acoustic environment

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
The ocean science community has invested heavily in coordinating systems developed to make ocean observations. The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is a research program developed to coordinate ocean observing systems. Expert panels identify requirements for the systems in terms of Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs).

Global In-Situ Observations of Essential Climate and Ocean Variables by the Global Drifter Program. Applications and Impacts

2020
<p>Accurate estimates and forecasts of physical and biogeochemical processes at the air-sea interface must rely on integrated in-situ and satellite surface observations of essential Ocean/Climate Variables (EOVs /ECVs). Such observations, when sustained over appropriate temporal and spatial scales, are particularly powerful in ...

GOOS Essential Ocean Variables: the backbone of a sustained and evolving international ocean observing system

There is an urgent need for a better understanding of the ocean, and we cannot understand what we do not measure. This contribution describes the origin, evolution and implementation of a set of ocean variables (EOVs) spanning physics, biogeochemistry and biology, which are essential to measure and are managed by the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS)

Applications of ocean gliders for climate change monitoring of Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) in the Northeast Atlantic

Primary productivity and respiration form the foundation of the ocean's food web and life and drive oxygen's biogeochemical cycling. Oxygen and phytoplankton abundance are two essential ocean variables (EOV) in monitoring the state of the ocean and in the study of the impact of climate change on the marine ecosystem.

Leveraging robotics, sensor innovation and data strategies to address the triple planetary ocean crisis: A framework of essential ocean variables

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has identified climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss as the most critical and interconnected challenges facing humanity today, collectively known as the "triple planetary crisis." Each of these issues uniquely impacts the ocean, and monitoring these effects requires both ...
