Observations in the Ocean

2011
The chapter begins with an overview of the exploratory work done in the Arctic Ocean from the mid nineteenth century to 1980, when its main features became known and a systematic study of the Arctic Ocean evolved. The following section concentrates on the decade between 1980 and 1990, when the first scientific icebreaker expeditions penetrated into the

Observations of change in the Southern Ocean

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2006
The Southern Ocean has been in a state of disequilibrium with its atmosphere and cryosphere during recent decades. Ocean station and drifting float observations have revealed rising temperatures in the upper 3000 m. Salinity has declined in intermediate waters and more rapidly in the sparsely sampled high latitudes.

Observations on plutonium in the oceans

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1995
Abstract This review describes various studies of marine plutonium distributions, behaviour and transfer carried out at the Marine Environment Laboratory of IAEA. Plutonium in sea water is primarily present in solution as Pu(V), probably as PuO + 2 , and on particles in reduced form as Pu(IV), most likely as species such as adsorbed Pu(OH) 4 .

Observing the ocean in the 1990s

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1982
Abstract To understand the ocean, its dynamics, its role in climate, weather and other ocean-atmosphere phenomena, one must observe it on a basin-wide scale with adequate time and space resolution. No such observation system yet exists.

Ocean Observing Needs

2023
The EuroSea project was constructed around the ocean observing value chain. Just as intended, the value chain concept is a useful prism for designing the ocean observing and forecasting system, or, indeed, a project like EuroSea that set out to improve just this system.

Observations Of Ocean Inhomogeneities

1991
Ocean stratification data are presented showing the spatial variability of sound velocity profiles. From an acoustic point of view the irregularities must be separated into features, which have to be treated as deterministic phenomena, and random structures in a statistically homogeneous stratification.
