Ocean Observations

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Our Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, and thus various ocean engineering projects have been undertaken to utilize these vast resources effectively [...]

Estimates of the Southern Ocean general circulation improved by animal-borne instruments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Over the last decade, several hundred seals have been equipped with conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensors in the Southern Ocean for both biological and physical oceanographic studies.

Weighing the ocean: Using a single mooring to measure changes in the mass of the ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Combining ocean and earth models, we show that there is a region in the central Pacific ocean where ocean bottom pressure is a direct measure of interannual changes in ocean mass, with a noise level for annual means below 3 mm water equivalent, and a ...

The Rossby radius in the Arctic Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The first (and second) baroclinic deformation (or Rossby) radii are presented north of ~60° N, focusing on deep basins and shelf seas in the high Arctic Ocean, the Nordic seas, Baffin Bay, Hudson Bay and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, derived from ...

Isolating the signal of ocean global warming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Identifying the signature of global warming in the world's oceans is challenging because low frequency circulation changes can dominate local temperature changes.

Ocean monitoring, observation network and modelling of the Gulf of Mexico by CIGOM

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The tragic accident of the Macondo platform operated by British Petroleum (BP) unleashed in 2010 one of the largest oil spills in history, lasting over three months, spilling nearly 500 million liters of oil in one of the most biodiverse ocean regions ...

Sensitivity of global ocean heat content from reanalyses to the atmospheric reanalysis forcing: A comparative study

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
The global ocean heat content evolution is a key component of the Earth's energy budget and can be consistently determined by ocean reanalyses that assimilate hydrographic profiles.

Seasonal to Decadal Western Boundary Current Variability From Sustained Ocean Observations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
Subtropical western boundary currents (WBCs) exert a substantial influence on regional climate. To improve WBC observations on seasonal‐to‐decadal timescales, and characterize their subsurface structure to 1975 m depth, we combine high‐resolution ...

Modelling wind-driven inter-ocean exchange in the greater Agulhas with the regional ocean modelling system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Includes bibliographical references.Two Regional Ocean Modelling System configurations, AGIO and ARC112, are developed to investigate (1) the structure of the Agulhas leakage, (2) the dynamical link between the leakage and the Agulhas Current, and (3 ...

The Development of a Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Ocean observation is fundamental to Canada’s ocean science community. The federal government, academia, small businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and other research partners, collect and synthesize physical, chemical and biological observations for
