Biologging in the Global Ocean Observing System [PDF]
Miniature electronic data recorders and transmitters have revolutionized the way we study animals over the past decades, particularly marine animals at sea. But, very recently, animal-borne instruments have also been designed and implemented that provide in situ hydrographic data from parts of the oceans where little or no other data are currently ...

Scaling Up From Regional Case Studies to a Global Harmful Algal Bloom Observing System
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) produce local impacts in nearly all freshwater and marine systems. They are a problem that occurs globally requiring an integrated and coordinated scientific understanding, leading to regional responses and solutions.

An Innovative Approach to Design and Evaluate a Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System
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.

EXTRACTION OF BLUE ICE AREA USING ALBEDO VALUE DERIVED FROM LANDSAT-8 SATELLITE DATA [PDF]
Blue Ice Areas (BIAs) or bare ice areas are zones of glacier where surface mass balance is negative, sublimation forms the major ablation process and surface albedo is relatively small.

Impact of Ocean Observation Systems on Ocean Analysis and Seasonal Forecasts [PDF]
Abstract The relative merits of the Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean (TAO)/Triangle Trans-Ocean Buoy Network (TAO/TRITON) and Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic mooring networks, the Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) expendable bathythermograph (XBT) network, and the Argo float network are evaluated through their impact on ocean ...

Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS): Rationale and Strategy for Sustained Observations of the Southern Ocean [PDF]
By connecting the ocean basins and the upper and lower limbs of the ocean overturning circulation, the Southern Ocean plays a critical role in the global ocean circulation, biogeochemical cycles and climate. Limited observations suggest the Southern Ocean is changing: the region is warming more rapidly than the global ocean average; salinity ...
