Recent wide spread and persistent harmful algal blooms (HABs) give severe impacts on public health and fisheries economics along all coasts of Korea. As the HABs have become more widespread and caused increasing fisheries damage, Korea established an integrated monitoring system included oceanographic, environmental, and red tides observations. Both oceanographic and environmental data and remo...

Glider-type autonomous underwater vehicles are today one of the most promising areas marine robotics. This is confirmed by frequent and remarkable results various research missions projects. The cumulative group application no less innovative wave gliders can significantly reduce time obtaining oceanographic data. Together with gliders, such robotic objects increase efficiency, volume There big...

WRC-12 on February under the Agenda Item 1.15 reviewed the possibility of frequency allocations for oceanographic radars in portions of the 3-50 MHz frequency range, and resolved to allocate several portions of the frequency bands in accordance with the Resolution 612 (Rev. WRC-12). Thus it is possible to use for oceanographic radars as much as 2 425 kHz width in the frequency range of 3-50 MHz...

Abstract. Improved quantification techniques of natural sources are needed to explain variations in atmospheric methane. In polar regions, high uncertainties current estimates methane release from the seabed remain. We present unique 10- and 3-month time series bottom water measurements physical chemical parameters two autonomous ocean observatories deployed at separate intense seep sites (91 2...

In British Columbia (BC), harmful algal blooms (HABs) regularly cause severe economic losses through finfish mortalities and shellfish harvest closures due to toxin accumulation, gill damage, or hypoxia. As there is no routine governmental monitoring of HAB phenomena in BC, variability, its potential links environmental drivers are not well understood. Here we present results from a well-manage...

We document the history and progress of two international ocean data management projects. The “Global Oceanographic Data Archaeology and Rescue” project was initiated in 1993 under the auspices of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). The project has the goal of locating (archaeology) and digitizing or copying to modern electronic media (rescuing) historical (pre-1992) oc...

The preservation and organization of oceanographic research data enables the scientific community to consult and reuse information of different kinds, and this is made possible by the repositories, meaning the services that facilitate data storage and dissemination. This paper reviews the current situation of oceanographic data repositories across different countries and evaluates them accordin...
