On the effect of drag forces in mooring system restoring forces

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Mooring line is a major source of stability and plays a key role in the global response of offshore floating wind turbine. In the current state of the research, a formulation based on the analytical catenary equation is most commonly used for the ...

Using microwave imager observations to improve the ocean temperature in a coupled NWP system

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A recent upgrade to the ECMWF IFS has implemented outer‐loop coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. This work uses this method to pass ocean skin temperature estimates derived from satellite‐borne microwave imagers to the ocean data assimilation system; the updated ocean state is then passed back to the atmospheric system.

A Method for Identifying Rainfall‐Runoff Events at Sub‐Hourly Time Scales: Applications for Nature‐Based Solutions and Water Resources

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how changes in catchment conditions affect ecohydrology in response to rainfall‐runoff events is crucial when developing informed strategies to enhance flow resilience, restore natural habitats, interpret water quality data or reduce flood risk.

A Multi‐Method Approach to Assessing Barrier Effectiveness in Preventing the Spread of Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Relieving barriers and increasing free flowing rivers is a global imperative to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fish stocks. While reducing river fragmentation will certainly improve biodiversity, the spread of non‐native species throughout a river system may be facilitated as an inadvertent outcome.

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Anti‐Globalization Dynamics and Africa's Structural Transformation: Identifying Avoidable Environmental Degradation Thresholds

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study pursues a dual objective. First, it investigates the unconditional impact of anti‐globalization on structural transformation in Africa. Second, it explores how environmental degradation interacts with anti‐globalization to influence structural transformation. The analysis focuses on 52 African countries over the period 2005–2023. To

A Scenario Tool for Sustainability Transformation in Fisheries and Beyond

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urgency to find sustainable management solutions intensifies with increasing natural resource scarcity. Resource sectors are usually characterized by diverse resource users. We developed a structured scenario tool designed to quantitatively assess policy options for achieving sustainability, accounting for ecological, economic and ...
