Our goal is to greatly increase access to the Arctic Ocean by creating and demonstrating a safe and economical platform capable of basin-scale surveys. Specifically, we are developing a Autonomous Underwater Vehicle for Arctic research with unprecedented endurance, and the capability to relay data through the ice to satellites. We will provide a means of monitoring changes taking place in the A...

Abstract. Distributed hydrological models rely on hydrography data such as flow direction, river length, slope and width. For large-scale applications, many of these still a few direction datasets, which are often manually derived. We propose the Iterative Hydrography Upscaling (IHU) method to upscale high-resolution typically coarser resolutions distributed models. The IHU aims preserve upstre...

Norway's second largest gas field, Ormen Lange, is located 140 km west off Kristiansund at an unprecedented depth when it comes to exploration. It will be the first Norwegian project beyond the shelf break. Exploration and development of the field is thus a challenge. An important issue during the planning stage is to understand the current conditions and hydrography of the site. This is especi...

Hydrography and hydrogeology data contain spatial references as such are part of infrastructure. On the European level, these infrastructure, well known INSPIRE. The objective INSPIRE is to make public available accessible for a broad range users in simple, interoperable, efficient way. Spatial play an important role facilitating integration, enabling data-driven decision making on where why th...

The non-seasonal stratification variability in the upper 400 m of Yucatan Channel (YC) and its relationship with Loop Current System is studied based on analysis long-term timescales not yet resolved observational studies. Daily outputs from a 22-year free-running simulation performed HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model were used, modes squared buoyancy frequency estimated using Empirical Orthogonal ...

[1] High interannual variability of summer surface salinity over the Laptev and East Siberian Sea shelves derived from historical records of the 1950s–2000s is attributed to atmospheric vorticity variations. In the cyclonic regime (positive vorticity) the eastward diversion of the Laptev Sea riverine water results in a negative salinity anomaly to the east of the Lena Delta and farther to the E...

Is the pattern of childhood mortality due to diarrhea related to hydrography? To answer this kind of question we describe a method to examine associations between peak time of mortality from diarrhea in children less than 5 years for the period 1979-89 and relative location along the hydrologic regime of 8 major hydrographic regions in Brazil. In order to better understand the underlying hetero...

The distribution and optical absorption characteristics of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were systematically investigated along three meridional transects in the North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea conducted as part of the 2003 US CLIVAR/CO2 Repeat Hydrography survey. Hydrographic transects covered in aggregate a latitudinal range of 51 to 621 north along longitudes 201W (line...
