The EROS 2000 database contains 166 scientific abstracts, contact details for 130 scientists and data submitted from 8 research cruises carried out in the north-western and western Mediterranean Sea as part of the European Rivers and Ocean System 2000 pro

A research project investigating the way the sea and the atmosphere exchange greenhouse gases.

Measures, understands and models shelf-ocean exchange in a typical coastal upwelling region of the eastern boundary layer of the subtropical ocean.

The OCCAM project has developed two high resolution (1/4 and 1/8 degree) models of the World Ocean - including the Arctic Ocean and marginal seas such as the Mediterranean. The project is being carried out by researchers at the Southampton Oceanography Ce

BALTEX is designed as a cage experiment to assess the total heat and water flux divergence of the BALTEX area. The basic BALTEX programme elements include numerical modelling, data assimilation, experimental and numerical process studies, re-analysis of e

The TAO Array of moored buoys measures oceanographic and surface meteorological variables critical for improved detection, understanding and prediction of seasonal-to-interannual climate variations originating in the tropics, most notably those related to

The study aims to develop and test (in both laboratory and the field) an autonomous atmospheric measuring system which will measure surface stress, sensible and latent heat flux and also carbon dioxide flux.

an oceanography mission to monitor global ocean circulation, discover the tie between the oceans and atmosphere, improve global climate predictions, and monitor events such as El Ni±o conditions and ocean eddies. The Jason-1 satellite carries a radar alti

NPMR is dedicated to scientific research in the Bering Sea and adjacent waters, with the goal of better understanding the oceanic and ecological systems.

aims to lay the basis for mathematical models to describe the role of plankton in biogeochemical fluxes within the oceans which have implications in climate regulation.

studies the role of physical processes controlling water-property distributions, suspended sediments controlling the availability of light, nutrients and phytoplankton growth. The project comprises development of a 3-D nearshore model, measurements in con

Ocean modeling, fitting and state estimation strategies (data assimilation) at Climate Research Division, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

This EU-CEO project will use satellite altimeter and radiometer data assimilated into global ocean models, to provide ocean current, temperature and salinity boundary conditions for shelf and coastal models which predict sea-levels and currents around Eur

The NEAT GIN experiment took place during September-October 1989 at the Norwegian shelf edge near 68¦N. Seven moorings, five in a closely-spaced cross-slope section, have proved a valuable precursor to the Shelf Edge Study (SES) west of Scotland. The NEAT

Hydrothermal vent monitoring - links intruments and a camera located within the caldera of a submarine volcano to the Internet.

Established in 1984, conducts research on the impacts and consequences of submarine volcanoes and hydrothermal venting on the global ocean.

An international and interdisciplinary initiative concerned with all aspects of mid-ocean ridges.

Provides quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties to the Earth science community. Subtle changes in ocean color signify various types and quantities of marine phytoplankton (microscopic marine plants), the knowledge of which has both scien

a cooperative effort to generate a unified data set and to determine the global distribution and inventories of inorganic nutrients, both natural and anthropogenic carbon species and natural and bomb-produced radiocarbon from data acquired from several pr

A UK NERC Thematic Research Programme to investigate the chemistry of the lower atmosphere (0 - 12 km) over the oceans. The studies aim to bring about a clearer understanding of natural processes in the remote marine atmosphere, and how these processes ar
