As part of the PLASTICBEACH project (EC2CO), an advanced modeling framework combining the SWASH wave model and the TrackMPD Lagrangian transport model was employed. The framework was used to simulate laboratory experiments of microplastic transport dynamics conducted by Forsberg et al. (2020) in the CASH wind-wave flume (SeaTech–MIO), specifically under one of the two windless hydrodynamic scenarios. The aim was to validate the model's ability to [...]
The Oceanographic Centre of Canary Islands (IEO-CSIC) runs a Marine Aquaculture Facility from 1980. Since its establishment, it has been expanded and upgraded several times to adapt to latest advancements and research needs. As part of these reasearch and development activities carried out, daily measurements of water tank temperature are performed. This time series shows the annual variability as well as other signals. After verification, docume [...]
This dataset was collected by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle in Hermitage, Réunion - 2023-12-01. Underwater or aerial images collected by scientists or citizens can have a wide variety of use for science, management, or conservation. These images can be annotated and shared to train IA models which can in turn predict the objects on the images. We provide a set of tools (hardware and software) to collect marine data, predict species or habitat, and [...]
The OceanHis SrL marine waters monitoring of the Italian Coast started in 2021 and was initiated to support the Blue Economy. The monitoring system is an IoT hardware-software integrated system called Blue Box (a real portable, small dimension, self-contained, autonomous laboratory) collecting, transmitting, visualizing in real time on web and mobile platforms multiparametric observations of the coastal sea environment. Installed on board of dif [...]
Imaging methods have developed rapidly in recent decades, opening new opportunities for taxonomy and biodiversity studies of marine organisms. In particular, the microscopic size range, which used to be challenging to study due to time-consuming preparation and observation steps, now benefits from high throughput quantitative imaging methods and the development of fast high-resolution microscopy approaches. The dataset regroup raw images of three [...]
Repeat hydrography, as organized through the GO-SHIP network, is fundamental for detecting trends and variability also in the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean component of GO-SHIP is MedSHIP, and TAlPro is the western Mediterranean component. The TAlPro2022 cruise consisted of 26 full depth hydrographic stations crossing the Tyrrhenian Sea from north to south, then the Algero-Provencal Basin from south to north. Here the postcalibrated CTD da [...]
This repository documents the ecosystem role of harp seals on the Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Shelf and Grand Banks, Canada, using the Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) ecosystem model approach. Ecosystem simulations were conducted for three distinct time periods (1985–1987, 2013–2015, and 2018–2020) across two regions: NL Shelf and Grand Banks. The first Ecopath model represents the combined NL Shelf and Grand Banks for 1985–1987 (published here: htt [...]
The location of two hemipelagic sequences, at the northern and southern edges of the Aquitaine shelf offers the possibility of obtaining a synoptic view of the southern Bay of Biscay oceanography, but also provides access to key contextual elements related to local and global forcing. These sequences were retrieved off the two main fluvial tributaries along the Aquitaine margin (southern Bay of Biscay) from the West Gironde mud patch and from the [...]
This database contains information on the landings of the shallow-water shrimp fishery in the Colombian Caribbean, with monthly records available from 1993 to 2023. The data include the year and month of landing, the common names of the species caught, their commercial presentation, and the quantity landed in tons. According to historical information, there is no consistency in taxonomy. Common names and their corresponding species are described [...]
Socheongcho Ocean Research Station (Socheongcho ORS) opened in October 2014, and was built to help advance the understanding of the dynamics of the Yellow Sea, including its influence on Korea’s marine, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments, via the continuous and simultaneous multidisciplinary observation of local air and sea environments. Socheongcho ORS is located in the central Yellow Sea about 50 km off the western coast of the Korean P [...]
