The paper presents the current status of Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN), which has been developed as a component Robotic (AERONET). MAN deploys Microtops handheld Sun photometers and utilizes calibration procedure data processing (Version 2) traceable to AERONET. A web site dedicated activity is described. brief historical perspective given aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements over oceans. short summary existing data, collected on board ships opportunity during NASA Sensor...
Abstract. The Maritime Aerosol Network (MAN) has been collecting data over the oceans since November 2006. Over 80 cruises were completed through early 2010 with deployments continuing. Measurement areas included various parts of Atlantic Ocean, Northern and Southern Pacific South Indian Arctic Ocean inland seas. MAN deploys Microtops hand-held sunphotometers utilizes a calibration procedure processing traceable to AERONET. Data collection that previously had no aerosol optical depth (AOD)...
Photomineralization of terrigenous dissolved organic matter (tDOM) in the Arctic Ocean is limited by persistent sea ice cover that reduces amount ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching underlying water column. UV‐dependent processes are likely to accelerate as a result shrinking extent and decreasing thickness caused climatic warming over this region. In study, we made first quantitative estimates photomineralization tDOM coastal ecosystem under current future regimes. We used an...

To estimate the depth‐integrated rate of photochemical processes involving chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in coastal waters, contribution CDOM to total absorption coefficient must be known from UV green. At 307 sites sampled various marine environments, ratio between and ([ a /a t ]) at 412 nm was found vary over wide range, 0.20 0.95.

The last three years have seen a legislative acceleration in tech regulation Europe and the emergence of an EU platforms law.1 In context, European Commission tabled very significant Digital Markets Act proposal December 2020.2 If adopted by legislature 2022, it could be applicable to activities Big Tech firms 2023. This new Regulation aims increase market contestability fairness digital economy. It will apply that are considered ‘gatekeepers’ provision one or more eight types services...
Observations of the Great Whale River plume in coastal waters Hudson Bay, Canada, during late winter and early spring four different years showed its area to vary as a power discharge. The under‐ice was much larger than open water for comparable discharges. Differences geometry were related elapsed time since ice formation low‐frequency variability circulation. strength orientation motion weakly correlated with cross‐Hudson Bay atmospheric pressure gradient. passage low‐pressure systems over...
With the increasing interest for Arctic Ocean resources and faced with its sensitivity to climate change, it is important accurately monitor chlorophyll-a (Chla) concentration that a key indicator of phytoplankton biomass marine productivity. The performances three operational algorithms (OC4v6, OC3Mv6, OC4Mev6), two adapted (OC4L, OC4P), one semi-analytical (GSM01) algorithm estimate Chla were evaluated using in situ measurements collected southeastern Beaufort Sea. All clearly...
The legal literature concerning the interplay between innovation and law is split two streams: economics (broadly defined) technology. They seem to exist in parallel largely non-intersecting inter-disciplinary silos. This paper attempts reconcile these streams identify synergies. Even definition of needs be recast order integrate both it best seen as a combination three elements, namely (i) an invention, (ii) which diffused adopted (iii) has positive social impact.

The European Standardisation Strategy, issued by the Commission in February 2022, proposes significant changes to System (ESS). This study provides in-depth analysis of four key aspects strategy, against backdrop history standardisation: I) ESS's integration into global standardisation ecosystem, II) representation societal interests, III) role Standards fostering EU policy objectives, and IV) alignment among authorities, ESO's, industry on a scale.The argues that duality between Strategy's...
Whilst there is widespread agreement in policy circles that fostering innovation should be a priority, far less consensus on what this entails and how to achieve objective. This lack of echoed the academic literature innovation. In paper, we seek reconcile two lines with which lawyers are most familiar: law economics (broadly defined) technology streams seem exist parallel largely non-intersecting inter-disciplinary silos, prevent cross-fertilization insights between them realization...
The spatiotemporal distribution of phytoplankton biomass drives the marine ecosystem. Chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla) is a index for microalgae in seawater that commonly used to study by means satellite remote sensing. St. Lawrence Estuary and Gulf (SLEG) Eastern Canada highly dynamic subpolar environment characterized complex optical properties make it difficult distinguish Chla from background signal caused strong freshwater discharge. In this study, we implement an inverse model based...
Phytoplankton light absorption spectra (a ϕ ( λ )) were measured in the Canadian Arctic (i.e., Amundsen Gulf, Archipelago, northern Baffin Bay and Hudson system) to improve algorithms used remote‐sensing models of primary production. The by algae, dominated picophytoplankton (<5 μ m), was not major factor four provinces; colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) contributed up 70% total absorption. During fall, low chlorophyll a ‐specific *(443) (443)/TChl ) coefficients High associated...
Abstract Particle size distribution (PSD) plays a significant role in many aspects of aquatic ecosystems, including phytoplankton dynamics, sediment fluxes, and optical scattering from particulates. As yet, little is known on the variability particle marine ecosystems. In this study, we investigated PSD properties Hudson Bay based measurements laser diffractometer (LISST‐100X Type‐B) concert with biogeochemical parameters collected during summer 2010. Results show that most power‐law fitted...
