Molecular Ecology of the Photosynthetic Procaryote Prochlorococcus (PROMOLEC). http://www.sb-roscoff.fr/PROMOLEC/ The EC MAST III project is centered on an important and recently discovered genus of marine photosynthetic microorganism: Prochlorococcus. This prokaryote proliferates in oligotrophic areas, including the Mediterranean and Red Seas, and is the tiniest and numerically the most abundant photosynthetic organism and accounts for a large part (up to 50%) of the photosynthetic biomass and primary production in these areas. Monitoring the Atlantic inflow toward the Arctic (MAIA) http://www.bodc.ac.uk/cgi-bin/framer?http://www.bodc.ac.uk/projects/maia.html The overall objective of MAIA is to develop an inexpensive, reliable system based on coastal sea-level data for monitoring the inflows of Atlantic Water to the northern seas. Available observation systems, including standard tidal stations, will be used to obtain transport estimates with a time resolution of less than a week and show that the method is generic and can be applied to a similar monitoring of other regions. Multidisciplinary Oceanographic Research in the Eastern Boundary of the North Atlantic (MORENA) http://www.mth.uea.ac.uk/ocean/morena.html Measures, understands and models shelf-ocean exchange in a typical coastal upwelling region of the eastern boundary layer of the subtropical ocean. NEPTUNE Canada http://www.neptunecanada.ca/ The NorthEast Pacific Time-Series Undersea Networked Experiments project is a regional-scale ocean observatory for interactive, real-time, long term ocean and earth studies and is led in Canada by the University of Victoria. NEPTUNE US http://www.neptune.washington.edu/ Project to establish a regional-scale ocean observatory in the northeast Pacific Ocean. The Project's 3,000-km network of fiber-optic/power cables will encircle and cross the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate in the northeast Pacific Ocean, an area roughly 500 km by 1,000 km in size. The project office is located at the University of Washington in Seattle. NERC Autosub Missions Thematic Programme (Autosub) http://www.soc.soton.ac.uk/PR/Autosub.html aims ultimately to provide scientists with the capability to collect routine physical, biological, chemical and geophysical data, to depths of 6000 metres and over transects of several thousands of kilometres via autonomous underwater vehicles. Network for Environmental Observation of the Coastal Ocean (NEOCO) http://es.ucsc.edu/~neoco/ Real-time coastal monitoring project based in California designed to monitor a wide spectrum of temporal and spatial variability in the coastal ocean environment. New Millennium Observatory Network (NeMO NeT) http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/nemo/realtime/index.html Hydrothermal vent monitoring - links intruments and a camera located within the caldera of a submarine volcano to the Internet. North East Atlantic, Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian sea experiment (NEAT GIN) http://www.pol.ac.uk/oshi/neatgin.html The NEAT GIN experiment took place during September-October 1989 at the Norwegian shelf edge near 68°N. Seven moorings, five in a closely-spaced cross-slope section, have proved a valuable precursor to the Shelf Edge Study (SES) west of Scotland. The NEAT GIN data analysis has now been completed. North Pacific Marine Research Program (NPMR) http://www.sfos.uaf.edu/ NPMR is dedicated to scientific research in the Bering Sea and adjacent waters, with the goal of better understanding the oceanic and ecological systems. North Sea Model Advection Dispersion Study (NOMADS ) http://www.pol.ac.uk/coin/nomads/ an intercomparison of advection-dispersion models for the North West European continental shelf presently available and being used at various institutes within the European Union. Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling Project (OCCAM) http://www.soc.soton.ac.uk/JRD/OCCAM/ The OCCAM project has developed two high resolution (1/4 and 1/8 degree) models of the World Ocean - including the Arctic Ocean and marginal seas such as the Mediterranean. The project is being carried out by researchers at the Southampton Oceanography Centre in collaboration with colleagues from the Universities of East Anglia and Edinburgh. Ocean Colour for the Determination of Water Column Biological Processes (BIOCOLOR) http://abyss.iopan.gda.pl/biocolor/ The aim of this study is relate changes in the properties of the water column and associated sucessions in the phytoplankton with changes in optical properties and ocean colour. Models based on these relationships will be developed and validated. These models will facilitate the interpretation of measurements of ocean colour (remote or in-situ) in terms of the temporal and spatial structures of phytoplankton communities. Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) http://www-odp.tamu.edu/ "An International Partnership in Geological Oceanography" -- Texas A&M University Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/BRG/ODP/INDEX/index.html Ocean Drilling Program in detail - Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Coloumbia University - Borehole Research Group. Ocean Margins (LINK) http://www.nerc.ac.uk/funding/thematics/oceanmargins/ Aimed at the geological understanding of ocean margins to improve prediction in exploration and reservoir characterisation for developing deep-water oil fields. Ocean State Estimation Projects (OSEP) http://horizon.ucsd.edu/neilson/ Ocean modeling, fitting and state estimation strategies (data assimilation) at Climate Research Division, Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Physiological Ecology of a Pelagic crustacean (PEP). http://www.obs-vlfr.fr/PEP/.index.html Impact of a Climatic Gradient on the Physiological Ecology of a Pelagic crustacean - a study of the functional marine biodiversity as a basis for understanding ecosystem structure, dynamics and resilience is focused on the Northern krill. The patterns of diversity in this species - an important component of Atlantic communities - will be investigated at specific locations in the north-eastern Atlantic, the Kattegat and the Meditarranean. PRe-Operational Modelling In the Seas of Europe (PROMISE). http://www.pol.ac.uk/promise/ PROMISE's objectives are to develop a framework in which to optimise the application of existing pre-operational dynamical models of the North Sea and to quantify sediment exchange rates and scales between coast and the near-shore. PROMISE is an EU-RTD Project. Processes in Regions of Fresh Water Influence (PROFILE) http://www.pol.ac.uk/coin/profile1.html studies the role of physical processes controlling water-property distributions, suspended sediments controlling the availability of light, nutrients and phytoplankton growth. The project comprises development of a 3-D nearshore model, measurements in contrasted ROFIs and comparisons between them. PROcesses of Vertical Exchange in Shelf Seas (PROVESS). http://www.nbi.ac.uk/provess/ PROVESS is a joint European MAST III funded interdisciplinary study of vertical fluxes of properties through the water column and the surface and bottom boundaries based on the integrated application of new measuring techniques, new advances in turbulence theory and new models. Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) http://www.soc.soton.ac.uk/rapid/rapid.php A £20 million, six-year (2001-2007) programme of the Natural Environment Research Council. The programme aims to improve our ability to quantify the probability and magnitude of future rapid change in climate, with a main (but not exclusive) focus on the role of the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation.
