The hydrodynamic model, ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System), is run for a domain that covers a significant portion of the northeast Atlantic at a resolution of 2.5 km and and with 40 vertical levels.7-day forecasts are generated for research purposes and for comparison with measured data. We use NCEP GFS …
Temperature and salinity measurements taken from the Weather Buoys. Temperature and salinity instrumentation associated with mooring.
The 9DOF (9 Degrees of Freedom) sensor measures and reports linear and angular accelerations along three axis plus spatial orientation using a combination of sensors. The sensor includes the ADXL345 accelerometer, the HMC5883L magnetometer, and the ITG-3200 MEMS gyro.
The Full Scale Atlantic Marine Energy Test Site (AMETS) provides 30 minute observational data from two directional waverider buoys known as Belmullet A and Belmullet B observing and measuring wave height, wave direction and wave period. The AMETS buoys are located in the North Atlantic Ocean in waters off the …
Celtic Seas nearshore habitats classified to EUNIS habitat classification. The EUNIS habitat classification is a comprehensive pan-European system to facilitate the harmonised description and collection of data across Europe through the use of criteria for habitat identification. It is hierarchical and covers all types of habitat types from natural to …
Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) automatically collect positional data from fishing vessels. The VMS data can be linked to catch data from logbooks to provide a census of spatially resolved catch and effort data. Fishing method data includes all gears, mobile bottom, mobile other, mobile seine and passive.
Marine biota can be classified broadly into those organisms living in either the pelagic environment (plankton and nekton) or the benthic environment (benthos). Single-celled or multi-celled plankton with photosynthetic pigments are the producers of the photic zone in the pelagic environment. This data collection activity covers baseline, geographical and temporal …
Water level observations and measurements in rivers and lakes. Data coverage has been of the rivers and lakes of the Burrishoole catchment Furnace Newport Co. Mayo. Data has been collected since 2000. Data collected from surface water level gauges. Data collected to ascertain the level of water in the catchment …
