Economic Considerations in the Design of Ocean Observing Systems [PDF]
Oceanography, 2009 Recent work on the potential economic value of improved coastal ocean observing capabilities suggests that aggregate values of better ocean observing system information for all US waters could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year.

An Innovative Approach to Design and Evaluate a Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Comprehensive and objective evaluation of all observing assets, tools, and services within an ocean observing system is essential to maximize effectiveness and efficiency; yet, it often eludes programs due to the complexity of such robust evaluation.

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?

Characterizing the Natural System: Toward Sustained, Integrated Coastal Ocean Acidification Observing Networks to Facilitate Resource Management and Decision Support [PDF]
Oceanography, 2015 Coastal ocean ecosystems have always served human populations—they provide food security, livelihoods, coastal protection, and defense. Ocean acidification is a global threat to these ecosystem services, particularly when other local and regional ...

Mesoscale variability and water mass transport of the Caribbean Current revealed by high-resolution glider observations [PDF]
Ocean ScienceThe Caribbean Through-Flow (CTF) provides a key pathway linking the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre and the upper limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Yet, its internal structure and variability remain poorly resolved.

Observations of Sargassum carbon influx and biogeochemical impact in La Parguera Marine Reserve
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe massive influx of pelagic Sargassum spp. species, also known as Sargassum inundation events (SIEs), first arrived at the Caribbean’s coastal waters in 2011. These events have been linked to hypoxia, among other ecological disturbances.

Observations of Rogue Seas in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Physical Review LettersWe 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 ...

Stratified coastal ocean interactions with tropical cyclones
Nature Communications, 2016 Accurate forecasts of hurricane intensity remain problematic. Here, using an ocean observing network to inform ocean and atmospheric model simulations, the authors show that consideration of ahead-of-eye cooling improves intensity forecasts.

Estimating Argo Float Trajectories Under Ice
Earth and Space Science, 2022 Since the Argo program began, 568 floats returned almost 31,000 profiles, at high‐southern latitudes, with no measured position. These data are either disseminated with positions linearly interpolated between known positions, or with no geographic ...
