Looking at Argo floats and other in-situ sensors

Ocean salinity and its impacts on the water cycle, ocean currents and the global climate.

In this video our Lead Educator Dr Mark Higgins will give us a quick introduction on sea, wind and ice

Icebergs can be detected by radar altimetry, the radar wave coming back earlier when bouncing on an iceberg. A second sight is then often made using SAR imagery, where surface roughness shows the icebergs in the image.

Satellite data are used to provide decision support for oil spill response during accidents that release large volumes of oil into the sea.

In this video our lead educator Dr Mark Higgins will give us a quick introduction on ocean colour.

Harmful Algal Blooms and coastal pollution can impact aquaculture, tourism and human health. The colour of the ocean is directly linked to the components of ocean waters that determine water quality.
