Predictions about algae blooms in Lake Erie made earlier suggested that they wouldn’t be too severe, with a potential severity range of 2.5 to 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. However, a recent report has revealed that the situation is more serious than initially ...
Harmful algal blooms, also known as HABs, are a growing environmental problem around the world. These blooms occur when certain types of algae grow out of control, often as a result of excess nutrients in the water. While some algae are essential for aquatic ecosystems, HABs can be harmful to humans and marine life. They can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health problems in ...
A recent study from the Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, has shed new findings on the extent of the problem in this area, revealing that harmful algae blooms are poisoning bull sharks in the lagoon and posing a risk to human health as well The study marks the first time that toxins produced by harmful algae blooms have been measured in ...
Disclaimer: This article covers an equation for linear scaling of conductivity sensors to estimate salinity based on the Practical Salinity Scale of 1978 (PSS-78). The equation effectively estimates seawater salinity between the practical salinity ranges of 22 and 42, temperatures 5-35°C, and pressure less than 200 dBar, using a temperature-compensated conductivity sensor. This is not for ...
Distributed networks of low-cost oceanographic buoys maximize data input and optimize derived hurricane models. ...
In a video interview with PME, Dr. Michael Burin from California State University, San Marcos explains how he used PME’s MSCTI PN probe in a laboratory experiment. The goal of the experiment was to study stratified density gradients in a controlled environment. Warmer water with a higher salt concentration was added to a tank of cooler water with a very low salt concentration. The resulting ...
The system delivered is a Real-Time Monitoring System containing sensors and data collecting platforms for meteorological and oceanographic parameters. AAnderaa has partnered with a World Class VTS (Vessel Traffic System)-vendor and installed a system as shown in attached presentation. There are four main parts of the system: • Data Buoy • Tide Gauge system • ...
The system delivered is a Real-Time Monitoring System containing sensors and data collecting platforms for oceanographic parameters. The proposed system delivered is a Real-Time Monitoring System containing sensors and data collecting platforms for oceanographic parameters. ...
The only thing worse than poor customer service is poor customer service from an organization that claims to care. At AML, we want our customers to expect more. To fuel that expectation, in January of 2018 we went live with a brand promise: We Make it Easy. When did you last experience poor customer service? The frustration of being placed on hold with an automated attendant while an ...
Project Details PRODUCT(S): miniDOT Logger APPLICATION: Salt Water PARAMETER: Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature LOCATION: Bodega Bay, California ORGANIZATION: White Abalone Restoration Consortium RECOGNITION: Katie Sowul, UC Davis Case Study Description Researchers from the University of California, Davis (UCD), the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, ...
OceanCube Observatories, composed of a group of researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, are using PME’s T-Chain sensors as a part of their instrumentation package located on the sea floor off the coast of Japan. ...
Using cameras designed by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the VideoRay filmed 3D footage for use at the USS Arizona Memorial Museum. ...
Sharks, penguins, turtles and other seagoing species could help humans monitor the oceans by transmitting oceanographic information from electronic tags. Thousands of marine animals are tagged for a variety of research and conservation purposes, but at present the information gathered isn't widely used to track climate change and other shifts in the oceans. ...
The project partners will reconstruct the ocean wave field, mapping waves as they propagate and evolve towards the floating wind platform, Jim Thomson, Senior Principal Oceanographer at APL-UW, said. "This is distinct from the more typical statistical approach to wave quantification, which only provides general metrics on the overall wave conditions, i.e. representative values ...
This time the board has more capabilities, including a winch that can lower an instrument to measure water temperature, salinity and pressure — key oceanographic observations — down to a depth of 150 meters (about 160 yards). ...
Key and Rob L. Evans of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution tested the technology in 2015 with seafloor receivers and an electromagnetic pulse emitter towed behind the Lamont-Doherty research ship Marcus G. ...
connector series, cables, and accessories are designed for severe, high-pressure environment geophysical and oceanographic applications—from offshore oil drilling to seabed exploration and pipeline inspection systems. ...
The most complex core samplers are those used in oceanographic research. These are generally large and require winches, power sources and other gear. ...
WERA. systems have a tsunami detection option, but those at Monster and Ouddorp are operated in a standard oceanographic mode. Nonetheless, after reprocessing the WERA raw measurements from both systems using the WERA tsunami detection software, specific ocean current signatures, generated by the approaching tsunami wave, can be seen clearly more than 40 minutes before the wave ...
” Located in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, McLane manufactures time-series in situ oceanographic instrumentation for scientific deployments in the open ocean and freshwater environments. McLane manufactures three main oceanographic product lines: profilers, samplers and flotation. McLane instruments have been deployed worldwide in some of the most remote ...
