C1.02: The activities and Work Plan of the GOOS Physics and Climate Panel (OO...Blue Planet Symposium
The GOOS Physics and Climate Panel* coordinates requirements for the physical variables for GOOS, and also leads the climate theme, reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC), through the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
Due to the many links that need to be made, the panel has a 5 year Work Plan (2013-2018), which is reviewed and updated annually. The Work Plan focusses on developing requirements for physics Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and ocean Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) through the development of variable specifications, the evaluation of network design to meet requirements, and the development and application of observing system performance metrics.
Where there is a need to evolve or expand the observing system, the panel conducts thematic systems based evaluations: for example, the Tropical Pacific observing system (TPOS) review, and evaluation of physics and climate aspects of the Deep Ocean Observing Strategy. Future plans and priorities include; Boundary Currents, and boundary current/shelf interactions, observations for reducing uncertainties in air sea fluxes, and observing ocean/ice interactions.
Systems based evaluations are designed to assess requirements for observations of EOVs, and assess approaches to meeting requirements with existing and emerging observing technologies. Some of these evaluations can and will lead to stand alone finite lifetime projects to oversee the transition or expansion of the observing system. For instance, a new project has been established following the TPOS review, called TPOS 2020 to oversee transition of the TPOS to become more robust, integrated and sustainable (see www.tpos2020.org).
* The GOOS Physics and Climate Panel is also known as the GCOS-GOOS-WCRP Ocean Observations panel for Physics and Climate, OOPC. See more details at www.oopc.info
Seagrass Mapping and Monitoring Along the Coasts of Crete, GreeceUniversität Salzburg
This research proposal introduces MSc thesis research. Study object is seagrass Posidonia oceanic (P. oceanica) along the coast of Crete, Greece. The most important facts about seagrass: endemic Mediterranean seagrass, P. oceanica is a main species in marine coastal environment of Greece. P. oceanica is the largest, the most widespread, homogeneous, dense “mattes” forming meadows between 5-40 m in Mediterranean Sea. Seagrass is a component of coastal ecosystems of high importance for the marine life, playing important functions in the marine environment. Seagrasses are subjects to external factors and therefore have environmental vulnerability. The study area is located in General research area: Island of Crete, Greece. Seagrass sampling will be performed at three stations at a depth of 6-7 m: Heraklio, Agia Pelagia, Xerokampos, Crete Island, Greece. The general research objectives of the MSc research includes GIS and environmental analysis: 1) Mapping the extent of the spatial distribution of seagrass P. oceanica along the northern coast of Crete; 2) Monitoring environmental changes in seagrass meadows in the selected fieldwork sites (Agia Pelagia, Xerokampos) over the 10-year period (2000-2010). There are various multi-sources data proposed for using in spatial analysis. data of the previous measurements received during the last year fieldwork, to analyze whether P.oceanica is spectrally distinct from other sea floor types, using the differences in the spectral signatures on the graphs in a WASI, the Water Color Simulator software. Other data include satellite images from the open sources (Landsat TM), aerial images, Google Earth; underwater videographic measurements of 3 cameras Olympus ST 8000 made during the ship route (ca 20 total in the selected areas of the research places) resulting in series of consequent images, completely covering the area under the boat path; in-situ measurements of the seagrass in selected spots, using measurement frame and other devices for marine biological research for the validation of the results.

The STEREO-funded BELCOLOUR-2 project was carried out by a consortium of Belgian (RBINS, ULB, Ulg, VITO) and international (LOV/France, CSIRO/Australia) partners with the objective of improving the quality of optical remote sensing products for marine, coastal and inland waters applications. Research focussed on the quantification of the concentration of chlorophyll a and suspended particulate matter as primary parameters and on the development and exploitation of higher level products such as eutrophication indicators required by coastal water quality managers and sediment fluxes required for management of coastal dredging operations.
Studi Parameter Oseanografi Fisika dan Kimia di Perairan Pulau Sulawesi, Indo...Luhur Moekti Prayogo
Pulau Sulawesi merupakan salah satu pulau terbesar di Indonesia dan dikenal memiliki potensi di bidang kelautan, baik dari segi pariwisata hingga potensi perikanannya. Pulau ini dilintasi garis khatuliswa di seperempat bagian utara sehingga sebagian besar wilayahnya berada di belahan bumi selatan. Geografis pulau Sulawesi yang berbeda menyebabkan perbedaan karakteristik parameter oseanografi. Salinitas dan pasang surut air laut merupakan parameter oseanografi yang dapat mempengaruhi keberlangsungan hidup biota di suatu perairan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan studi parameter oseanografi fisika kimia yang meliputi pasang surut dan salinitas di perairan pulau Sulawesi menggunakan data NOAA dan BIG. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa perairan di sekitar Pulau Sulawesi memiliki rerata muka air tinggi sebesar 1,3 meter dan muka air rendah sebesar 0,9 meter. Kemudian dari perhitungan dihasilkan bilangan Formzahl sebesar 0,8 (0,25 < F £ 1,5) yang berarti tipe pasang surut masuk dalam kategori Campuran, cenderung Semi Diurnal. Kemudian hasil analisis salinitas menunjukkan bahwa pada bulan Juli tahun 2020 kandungan salinitas berkisar 29,63 hingga 36,45 ppt dengan rata-rata 33,99 ppt. Pada bulan November 2020 kandungan salinitas berkisar 25,71 hingga 39,74 ppt dengan rata-rata sebesar 33,50 ppt. Pada bulan Februari 2021 kandungan salinitas berkisar 27,23 hingga 37,73 ppt dengan rata-rata sebesar 33,00 ppt. Salinitas terendah diperoleh pada musim penghujan bulan November 2020 dan kandungan salinitas tertinggi pada bulan yang sama di sebagian kecil wilayah. Pada musim kemarau rata-rata kandungan salinitas air laut di perairan Sulawesi relatif tinggi dibandingkan musim penghujan dengan nilai kandungan terendah sebesar 29,63 ppt.
Information about the variability of chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature is a reference to determine the potential fishing area (fishing ground). This study aims to determine the variation of chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature effects on Cakalang (Katsuwonus Pelamis) fish catches in the waters of Sawu sea, East Nusa Tenggara. Predictions of potential areas of skipjack capture are determined based on statistical analysis and multitemporal analysis. The results showed that variations in chlorophyll-a and sea surface temperature were very influential with the catches of Cakalang in the waters of Sawu. Chlorophyll-a increases in the East season (June-August) and at the beginning of Transition II (September), so this season has the potential to catch Cakalang fish.
Greetings all,
Once a year in April, the Mercator Ocean Forecasting Center in Toulouse and the Coriolis Infrastructure in Brest publish a common newsletter. Papers are dedicated to observations only.
• The first paper introducing this issue is presenting the Coriolis 2014-2020 framework which was renewed in 2014 in order to go on integrating in-situ ocean observation infrastructure for operational oceanography and ocean/climate research.
• Next paper by Poffa et al. describes how some Argo floats are deployed by the sailing community, through ship-based non-governmental organization or trans-oceanic races. It allows Argo floats to be deployed in poorly sampled areas where there is no regular shipping. Sailors got also involved in oceanographic science activities. An example of float deployment is given in the case of the Barcelona World Race.
• Next paper by Pouliquen et al. describes the EURO-ARGO ERIC infrastructure which is now officially set-up since May 2014. The objective of the Euro-Argo ERIC is to organize a long term European contribution to the international Argo array of profiling floats.
• Le Traon et al. are then presenting how the assessment of the impact of ARGO in Ocean models and satellite validation is conducted in the context of E-AIMS (Euro-Argo improvements for the GMES/Copernicus Marine Service) FP7 project. Observing System Evaluations and Observing System Simulation Experiments have been conducted to quantify the contribution of Argo to constrain global and regional monitoring and forecasting centers and validate satellite observations. Recommendations for the new phase of Argo are also elaborated.
• Kolodziejczyk et al. follow with the presentation of the complementarity of ARGO and SMOS Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) observations to help monitoring SSS variability from basin to meso scale. Using a 4-year time-series of SMOS SSS data and the global Argo array of in situ measurements, a statistical approach and an optimal interpolation method are used to characterize biases and reduce noises. Results are promising and show strong complementarity between SMOS and Argo data.
• Herbert et al. then describe Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP) observations which are carried out in the Tropical Atlantic during yearly cruises in the framework of the PIRATA program. The present note displays the SADCP data processing methodology applied for 8 PIRATA cruises by using CASCADE software.
• Cravatte et al. follow with a paper presenting the new international TPOS2020 project (2014-2020). The project objective is to build a renewed, integrated, internationally-coordinated and sustainable observing system in the Tropical Pacific, meeting both the needs of climate research and operational forecasting systems and learning lessons from the great success-and finally partial collapse- of the TAO/TRITON array.
• Saout-Grit et al. next present an updated procedure for CTD-oxygen calibration along with new
Geophysical techniques work through applying one of several types of force to the ground, to measure the
resulting energy with use of geophysical equipment and infer the geology from this. Geophysics is generally
much quicker than the aforementioned methods, however, requires more data processing (oìce-based work)
to develop the geological picture. A great advantage of these methods is that certain instruments can be
attached to small aircraft for covering large areas during regional airborne surveys. This provides sparser
geological information, but can highlight potential metal anomalies on a county-country scale, which can be
followed up by more detailed, ground-based geophysical surveys. However, as the material is being tested
indirectly, there is no 100% guarantee of its conclusions; in addition to being susceptible to contamination by
many man-made metallic structures e.g. power-lines. Therefore, should geophysical surveys prove suìciently
interesting, drilling will be required afterwards to conêrm the accuracy of the results.
GEO-SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES IN SHORELINE ANALYSIS, VARIABILITY AND EROSIONIAEME Publication
Analysis of shoreline variability and shoreline erosion-accretion trends is fundamental to a broad range of investigations undertaken by coastal scientists, coastal engineers, and coastal managers. Though strictly defined as the intersection of water and land surfaces, for practical purposes, the dynamic nature of this boundary and its dependence on the temporal and spatial scale at which it is being considered results in the use of a range of shoreline indicators. These proxies are generally one of two types: either a feature that is visibly discernible in coastal imagery (e.g., high-water line [HWL]) or the intersection of a tidal datum with the coastal profile (e.g., mean high water [MHW]). Recently, a third category of shoreline indicator has begun to be reported in the literature, based on the application of image-processing techniques to extract proxy shoreline features from digital coastal images that are not necessarily visible to the human eye.

focusing on Ocean Observations
Greetings all,
Once a year and for the fi fth year in a raw, the Mercator Ocean Forecasting Center in Toulouse and the Coriolis Infrastructure in Brest publish a
common newsletter. Some papers are dedicated to observations only, when others display collaborations between the 2 aspects: Observations and
Modelling/Data assimilation.
The fi rst paper by Cabanes et al. introducing this issue is presenting a new methodology aiming at correcting Argo fl oat salinity measurements in
delayed time when Argo fl oats conductivity sensors are subject to drift and offset due to bio-fouling or other technical problems.
Then, Cravatte et al. are using the Argo arrays in order to compile Argo fl oats’ drifts and show that they are a very valuable tool allowing determining
the absolute velocity. They apply this to study zonal jets at 1000 meters depth in the Tropics.
In the next paper, Maes and O’Kane provide with some results indicating the impact of a sustained ocean observing Argo network on the ability to
resolve the seasonal cycle of salinity stratifi cation by contrasting periods pre- and post-Argo. They take into account the respective thermal and saline
dependencies in the Brunt-Väisälä frequency (N2) in order to isolate the specifi c role of the salinity stratifi cation in the layers above the main pycno-
cline.
Picheral et al. are telling us about the Tara Oceans voyage that took place on the schooner “Tara” from 2009 to 2013 and visited all oceans. The ship
was adapted for modern oceanography. Scientifi c instruments were mounted on a dedicated CTD frame and installed on an underway fl ow-through
system. Data were sent daily to Coriolis. Post cruise calibrations were performed leading to a high quality dataset.
Then, Roquet et al. demonstrate the importance of the contribution of hydrographic and biogeochemical data collected by Antarctic marine mammals,
and in particular elephant seals, equipped with a new generation of oceanographic tags, for the environmental monitoring of the Southern Ocean.
The last paper of the present issue is displaying the collaboration between the Ocean Observations and Ocean Modelling communities: Turpin et
al. perform several Observing System Experiments in order to assess the impact of Argo observations on the Mercator Océan global analysis and
forecasting system at ¼ degree resolution.
We wish you a pleasant reading,

C4.06: Towards continental-scale operational ocean and coastal monitoring usi...Blue Planet Symposium
Regionally tuned algorithms that deliver remotely sensed marine water quality products from the MODIS/Aqua sensor have been developed and validated for the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Through the eReefs partnership, these algorithms are being transferred from the research domain and being deployed operationally via the national meteorological agency. Furthermore they are being adapted to work with two other ocean colour satellite instruments, SeaWiFS and VIIRS/NPP to enable extension of the monitoring time series, both historically and into the future. The production infrastructure to manage contemporary data flows from the VIIRS sensor is similarly being extended. In parallel, the validated remote sensing products are being integrated into a hydrodynamic and bio-geochemical regional ocean model through data assimilation to provide a holistic suite of monitoring products for the GBR.
This work is being undertaken with the goal of expanding the monitoring to more of Australia's marine jurisdiction. While the remote sensing algorithms themselves are parameterised for the atmospheric and optical characteristics of the GBR region, they are inherently flexible and are progressively being applied and tested in other locations where suitable in situ data are available. The data processing system for the GBR already is nested within the national data production operated by the Integrated Marine Observing System.

Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to Data Assimilation and its techniques and progress for operational oceanography.
Gary Brassington is first introducing this newsletter with a paper telling us about the international summer school for “observing,
assimilating and forecasting the ocean” which will be held in Perth, Western Australia in 11-22 January 2010
(http://www.bom.gov.au/bluelink/summerschool/). The course curriculum will include topics covering the leading edge science in
ocean observing systems, as well as the latest methods and techniques for analysis, data assimilation and ocean modeling.
Scientific articles about Data Assimilation are then displayed as follows: The first article by Broquet et al. is dealing with Ocean
state and surface forcing correction using the ROMS-IS4DVAR Data Assimilation System. Then, Cosme et al. are describing the
SEEK smoother as a Data Assimilation scheme for oceanic reanalyses. The next article by Brankart et al. is displaying a synthetic
literature review on the following subject: Is there a simple way of controlling the forcing function of the Ocean? Then Ferry et al.

Sixty-five Galaxy Forums with a total of almost 300 presentations have been held in 26 locations worldwide (since Galaxy Forum USA, July 4, 2008) including Hawaii, Silicon Valley, Canada, China, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, Europe, Africa, Chile, Brazil, Kansas and New York.
Editorial – Apr 2013 – Special Issue jointly coordinated by Mercator Ocean
and Coriolis focusing on Ocean Observations
Greeti ngs all,
Once a year in April, the Mercator Ocean Forecasti ng Center in Toulouse and the Coriolis Infrastructure in Brest publish a common newslett er.
Papers are dedicated to observati ons only.
The fi rst paper introducing this issue is presenti ng the MyOcean InSitu Themati c Assembly Center (TAC) which is collecti ng and carrying out quality
control on In Situ data in a homogeneous manner and provides access to In Situ observati ons of core parameters in order to characterize ocean state
and its variability, thus contributi ng to initi alizati on, forcing, assimilati on and validati on of ocean numerical models.
Next paper by Kokoszka is using the MyOcean Observati on InSitu Themati c Assembly Center (TAC) Products in order to illustrate a strong wind event
in the North East Atlanti c in February 2013. Wind bursts over 100 km/h occurred along the French Atlanti c Coast on February 6th. A possible sea
surface temperature cooling is illustrated.
Next paper by Lebreton is dealing with the French Argo fl oat deployment from opportunity vessels. In 2012, Coriolis has deployed more than 120
fl oats using sailing, military or educati onal vessels. Deploying from opportunity vessels requires developing clear deployment procedures for teams
not familiar with Argo fl oats, training such teams to detect any anomaly in the deployment and parti cipati ng to outreach acti viti es.
Turpin et al. are then presenti ng MOOSE: A Mediterranean Ocean Observing System on Environment that has been set up as an interacti ve, distributed
and integrated observatory system of the North West Mediterranean Sea in order to detect and identi fy long-term environmental anomalies. It will
provide data for the MISTRALS project and use the MyOcean data distributi on infrastructure from the InSitu Themati c Assembly Center (TAC).
Reverdin et al. follow with the presentati on of SPURS, an experiment dedicated at improving our understanding of the processes controlling surface
salinity in the region of maximum surface salinity of the North Atlanti c subtropical region and at seeking how well remote sensing data can contribute in
monitoring and unraveling those processes. This includes a research cruise, STRASSE on board the French RV Thalassa, with a variety of measurements
of the upper ocean transmitt ed in real ti me, and a contributi on to the overall observing arrays of 10 surface drift ers, of 7 Argo fl oats, the use of two
merchant vessels crossing the area equipped with thermosalinographs and occasionally collecti ng XBT profi les.
Finally, Leymarie et al. are presenti ng the new ProvBioII fl oat with extended capaciti es among which a double board architecture as well as additi onal
batt ery and connectors. Collaborati on between LOV, NKE and Ifremer, and the opportunity off ered by the remOcean and NAOS projects, lead t

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
