Operational oceanography: Shall we dance? [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2000 With the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) currently in development, the worldwide oceanographic community is on the brink of “operational oceanography,” which essentially means provision of “operational ocean services” where “operational” means “routine” and “ocean services” means “marine environmental information.” GOOS is a joint campaign of the ...

Sea state bias in altimeter sea level estimates determined by combining wave model and satellite data [PDF]
, 2010 This study documents a method for increasing the precision of satellite-derived sea level measurements. Results are achieved using an enhanced three-dimensional (3-D) sea state bias (SSB) correction model derived from both Jason-1 altimeter ocean ...

Satellites and Operational Oceanography [PDF]
, 2011 The chapter starts with an overview of satellite oceanography, its role and use for operational oceanography. Main principles of satellite oceanography techniques are then summarized. We then describe key techniques of radar altimetry, sea surface temperature, ocean colour satellite measurements.

Comment on operational oceanography: Shall we dance? [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2000 Christopher Mooers [2000] has raised important issues regarding operational oceanography in his Forum piece (Eos, March 14, 2000). I am concerned, however, that readers might be misled by some perceptions expressed in the piece. The AGU audience should understand that the U.S. Navy is well established, well positioned, and well prepared to play a major

Using the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer to characterise temporal and spatial trends in water temperature of large European lakes [PDF]
, 2012 Lakes are major repositories of biodiversity, provide multiple ecosystem services and are widely recognised as key indicators of environmental change. However, studies of lake response to drivers of change at a pan-European scale are exceptionally rare ...
