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

Frontiers 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

Seasonal to Decadal Western Boundary Current Variability From Sustained Ocean Observations

Geophysical 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 ...

Ocean observing systems demystified

OCEANS 2009, 2009
An ocean observing system could be defined as a set of independent elements that interact to form a whole for the purpose of observing ocean data. But, what is a system? Is a sensor a system? Is a buoy a system? Is a collection of stations a system?

Observations of Rogue Seas in the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Physical Review Letters
We report direct observations of surface waves from a stereo camera system along with concurrent measurements of wind speed during an expedition across the Southern Ocean in the austral winter aboard South African icebreaker S.A.~Agulhas~II. Records include water surface elevation across a range of wave conditions, spanning from early stages of wave ...

Detecting local variations across metazoan communities in back-reef depressions of Reunion Island (Mascarene Archipelago) through environmental DNA survey

Frontiers in Marine Science
The back-reef depressions, or lagoons, of Reunion Island (western Indian Ocean) host a high abundance of organisms living amongst the coral reefs and are critical sites for artisanal fishing, tourism, and shoreline stability for the island.

Ocean Climate Observing Requirements in Support of Climate Research and Climate Information

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Natural variability and change of the Earth’s climate have significant global societal impacts. With its large heat and carbon capacity and relatively slow dynamics, the ocean plays an integral role in climate, and provides an important source of ...

The Evolution and Outcomes of a Collaborative Testbed for Predicting Coastal Threats

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Beginning in 2003, the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) enabled an open-access network of distributed sensors and linked computer models through the SURA Coastal Ocean Observing and Predicting (SCOOP) program. The goal was to support

Feasibility of a Close-Kin Mark-Recapture for Stock Assessment of Indian Ocean Swordfish (Xiphias gladius)

Fishes
The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) manages swordfish, Xiphias gladius, a species of high economic importance in the Indian Ocean. Current stock assessments rely on catch per unit effort indices, which can be biased, complicating reliable abundance ...
