Book Synopsis The Potential Economic Benefits of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems, the Gulf of Maine by :
Download or read book The Potential Economic Benefits of Coastal Ocean Observing Systems, the Gulf of Maine written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this publication, [authors] focused on five important activities in The Gulf of Maine: maritime commerce, commercial fishing, recreational fishing and boating, search and rescue, and pollution management, specifically oil spill management. For each area, the sources of benefits were defined and estimates were made of the size of the activity in the region from which benefits may be derived. The results of their analysis suggests strongly that the benefits from a regional ocean observing system in the Gulf of Maine will exceed its costs, although more precise measurement is required before the actual magnitude of benefits can be estimated.

Book Synopsis GeoSensor Networks by : Silvia Nittel
Download or read book GeoSensor Networks written by Silvia Nittel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-04 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the Second GeoSensor Networks Conference, held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, in October 2006. The conference addressed issues related to the collection, management, processing, analysis, and delivery of real-time geospatial data using distributed geosensor networks. This represents an evolution of the traditional static and centralized geocomputational paradigm. The 13 carefully reviewed and selected papers included in the volume constitute extended versions of the papers presented at the conference. They are preceded by an introduction written by the volume editors. The book is structured in sections on Data Acquisition and Processing, Data Analysis and Integration, and Applications. The papers represent key research areas that are fundamental in order to realize the full potential of the emerging geosensor network paradigm. The contributions cover theentire spectrum of the field from low-level energy consumption issues at the individual sensor level to the high-level abstraction of events and ontologies or models to recognize and monitor phenomena using geosensor networks.
Book Synopsis Real-time Coastal Observing Systems for Marine Ecosystem Dynamics and Harmful Algal Blooms by : Babin, Marcel
Download or read book Real-time Coastal Observing Systems for Marine Ecosystem Dynamics and Harmful Algal Blooms written by Babin, Marcel and published by UNESCO. This book was released on 2008-06-05 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of harmful phytoplankton in marine ecosystems can cause massive fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, impact local and regional economies and dramatically affect ecological balance. Real-time observations are essential for effective short-term operational forecasting, but observation and modelling systems are still being developed. This volume provides guidance for developing real-time and near real-time sensing systems for observing and predicting plankton dynamics, including harmful algal blooms, in coastal waters. The underlying theory is explained and current trends in research and monitoring are discussed.Topics covered include: coastal ecosystems and dynamics of harmful algal blooms; theory and practical applications of in situ and remotely sensed optical detection of microalgal distributions and composition; theory and practical applications of in situ biological and chemical sensors for targeted species and toxin detection; integrated observing systems and platforms for detection; diagnostic and predictive modelling of ecosystems and harmful algal blooms, including data assimilation techniques; observational needs for the public and government; and future directions for research and operations.

Book Synopsis An Applied Climatology of Low Visibility Over the Coastal Waters of New Hampshire and Southern Maine by : James C. Hayes
Download or read book An Applied Climatology of Low Visibility Over the Coastal Waters of New Hampshire and Southern Maine written by James C. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An applied climatology of low visibility has been developed for the coastal waters of southern Maine and New Hampshire. Low visibility, defined as 450 meters (1/4 nautical miles (NM)) or less, can pose a significant hazard to marine operations. An examination of low visibility over the coastal waters of southern Maine and New Hampshire was performed using hourly observations from selected Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GoMOOS) buoys in the Gray, ME (GYX) coastal waters for the period 2001 through 2007. From these data, frequency distributions and composite maps were constructed. The highest percentage of hourly observations with low visibility occurred across the coastal waters of central Maine, with the lowest percentage across the coastal waters of New Hampshire. A south to southeast wind was favored for low visibility at all buoy locations. July had the highest number of low visibility observations at all buoy locations, with a general maximum occurring June through August. This coincides with the highest dew point temperatures of the year over the coastal waters. For GoMOOS buoys closer to shore, the number of hourly observations with visibilities of 450 meters or less reached a minimum in the late afternoon and early evening. The maximum occurred just before sunrise. For GoMOOS buoys further offshore, the differences between the maximum and minimum were less distinct"--Abstract.
Book Synopsis Coastal Ocean Observing by : Jorge E. Corredor
Download or read book Coastal Ocean Observing written by Jorge E. Corredor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual describes the wide range of electromechanical, electrochemical and electro-optical transducers at the heart of current field-deployable ocean observing instruments. Their modes of operation, precision and accuracy are discussed in detail. Observing platforms ranging from the traditional to the most recently developed are described, as are the challenges of integrating instrument suits to individual platforms. Technical approaches are discussed to address environmental constraints on instrument and platform operation such as power sources, corrosion, biofouling and mechanical abrasion. Particular attention is also given to data generated by the networks of observing platforms that are typically integrated into value-added data visualization products, including numerical simulations or models. Readers will learn about acceptable data formats and representative model products. The last section of the book is devoted to the challenges of planning, deploying and maintaining coastal ocean observing systems. Readers will discover practical applications of ocean observations in diverse fields including natural resource conservation, commerce and recreation, safety and security, and climate change resiliency and adaptation. This volume will appeal to ocean engineers, oceanographers, commercial and recreational ocean data users, observing systems operators, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the field of ocean observing.

Book Synopsis Estuaries and Coastal Zones by : Jiayi Pan
Download or read book Estuaries and Coastal Zones written by Jiayi Pan and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-03-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estuaries and their surrounding wetland regions are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, with more than half of humanity inhabiting their shores. Anthropogenic factors make estuaries highly susceptible to ecosystem degradation. Coastal waters are closely connected with human activity, and their dynamic processes may greatly affect coastal environments. This book provides a compendium of studies on estuarine dynamics, river plumes, and coastal water dynamics, studies that have investigated the changes in estuarine and coastal zones in response to sea-level rise and other environmental factors, and policy and management strategies to ensure the health and economy of coastal zones. This book aims to display novel frontiers in these fields and may help to inspire in-depth studies in the future.
