PHYSIOGLOB: Assessing the inter-annual physiological response of phytoplankton to global warming using long-term satellite observations

Prime company: ITALIAN NATIONAL AGENCY FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES, ENERGY AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (ENEA) (IT)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Marco Bellacicco. Phytoplankton is considered to be responsible for approximately 50% of the planetary primary production and is at the basis of the trophic chain. Large scale factors such as climate, ocean circulation, and mostly anthropogenic activities, affect phytoplankton biomass and distribution. For all of these reasons, …

OVALIE: Oceanic intrinsic Variability versus Atmospheric forced variabiLIty of sea level changE

Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by William Llovel and Alice Carret. Global mean sea level rise is one of the most direct consequences of actual global warming. Since the beginning of the 20th century, global mean sea level experiences an unabated increase of 1.1-1.9 mm.yr-1 recorded by tide gauges. Based on satellite altimetry …

Chaotic ocean variability can mask regional sea level trends

Regional sea level trends present large spatial patterns caused by natural variability (changes in winds, air-sea flux etc.) along with anthropogenic influences in the atmosphere. These sea level trends can be partially masked by random oceanic processes. Global mean sea level rise is one of the most direct consequences of the on-going global warming. Based …

Measuring CO2 across the Atlantic

Royal Research Ship James Clark Ross started its roughly 4000 miles, 40 days voyage across the Atlantic Ocean at the end of September. It has been carrying out in situ measurements with an array of instruments including above-water radiometric optical sensors that measure upwelling radiance from the sea surface for validation of satellite ocean colour, …

Replay the opening session of “25 years of progress in radar altimetry”

Replay the live-transmitted from the Azores opening session of an event where world-class scientists met to discuss the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry. Radar altimeters record the surface topography along the satellite’s ground track. They precisely measure a satellite’s height above water, land or ice by timing the …

New Achievements in Coastal Altimetry

SAR altimetry missions are boosting new developments in fields that exploit the quality of high-resolution products for sea surface topography, wave height, and wind speed. To review recent progress in and discuss future plans for altimetry technology at coasts, 88 scientists from 28 countries met at the 11th Coastal Altimetry Workshop earlier this summer.

Calculate air-sea CO2 fluxes with FluxEngine v3

FluxEngine is an open source toolbox for calculating air-sea CO2 gas fluxes from in situ, model and Earth Observation data. We are pleased to announce that version 3 of the FluxEngine toolbox is now available. Version 3 now includes: auto-installers and/or install instructions (e.g. you can use it on a Windows, Linux or Mac laptop) …

1992-2017 Ocean Heat Flux Time Series

We are pleased to announce that the OceanHeat project team has released a new data set of ocean turbulent heat fluxes estimated from various remotely sensed data. The determination of latent and sensible heat fluxes as well as of the related bulk variables, is based on the use of the European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Heat …
