Founded in 1876, Texas A&M University is a U.S. public and comprehensive university offering a wide variety of academic programs far beyond its original label of agricultural and mechanical trainings. It is one of the few institutions holding triple federal designations as a land-, sea- and ...
A device used to measure the concentration of chlorophyll in sea water. It does this by mimicking the sun and emitting a flash of light at a specific wavelength and causing the phytoplankton present to fluoresce at another wavelength. The light emitted by the plankton is measured and converted to a chlorophyll measurement via a calibration obtained from discrete measurements of known quantities of chlorophyll. An a-c meter is also used to measure chlorophyll.
Industry:Earth science
A diesel powered semi–submersible designed to survey water depths from 10 to 300 meters. This instrument was designed for the cost effective collection of hydrographic and oceanographic data.
Industry:Earth science
A digital database of land and sea floor elevations on a 5 minute lat/lon grid. The resolution of the gridded data varies from true 5-minute for the ocean floors, the USA., Europe, Japan,and Australia to 1 degree in data-deficient parts of Asia, South America, northern Canada, and Africa.
Industry:Earth science
A digital library of real-time and historical satellite data from NOAA’s POES. SAA allows users to search inventories of satellite data, preview representative Earth images of that data, and to download the data for further processing and analysis.
Industry:Earth science
A directory of information about marine related datasets that consists of metadata, i.e. data about other datasets. The aims of MEDI are to catalog which data is available, when and where it was collected, and where it is located. It is intended as a reference point for locating marine and coastal datasets, and as a means for advertising the availability of new datasets.
Industry:Earth science
A dominant figure (1917-1981) in atmospheric science and geophysical fluid dynamics in general in the three decades following WWII.
Industry:Earth science
A doming of the thermocline in the summer at approximately 10° N and 22° W off the coast off of Dakar in west Africa. This is due to a small cyclonic gyre driven by part of the North Equatorial Countercurrent heading north combining with the North Equatorial Undercurrent.
Industry:Earth science
A Doodson X0 filter is a simple filter designed to damp out the main tidal frequencies. It takes 19 values on either side of a central value and calculates a weighted average. If the initial values are at a higher frequency than hourly, then they are first averaged to give hourly values.
Industry:Earth science
A dropsonde that resolves horizontal velocity over scales ranging from the ocean depth to microscale by combining electromagnetic, acoustic and hydrodynamic lift data on small airfoils.
Industry:Earth science
A European geostationary meteorological satellite operated by EUMETSAT.
