Oceans play a vital role in socioeconomic and environmental development by supporting activities such as tourism, recreation, food provision while providing important ecosystem services. However, concerns have been raised about the threat that climate change poses to functions of oceans. This study examines impacts, threats, adaptation strategies marine biodiversity. Using bibliometric secondary data analysis, this determines leads rising sea temperatures, heatwaves, acidification, increasing levels. These factors undermine significance ocean also identifies significant risks posed species diversity distribution, primarily through habitat degradation shifts ranges. Scholarly focus on these challenges has grown over time, focusing building resilience mitigate adverse impacts. critically evaluates various measures, including nature-based human-based solutions restoration, policy legislative frameworks, their potential protect ecosystems. It provides detailed discussions effectiveness protected areas (MPAs), mangrove coral reef range shifts. review emphasises indigenous knowledge systems community participation conservation efforts achieve holistic sustainable management. highlights need for enhanced international cooperation transdisciplinary approach address complex interplay between Additionally, suggests funding research gaps can be secured tourism revenue other mechanisms.

The hydrodynamic performance optimization of unmanned sailboats is great significance for achieving long-endurance, long-distance, and highly concealed navigation. Based on the existing design sailboats, this study optimized keel rudder, proposed specific strategies, evaluated determined optimal structural scheme. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis resistance performance, stability, maneuverability sailboat before after was conducted using CFD numerical simulations MAXSURF software. results show that effectively reduces contact area with water, significantly lowering overall sailboat. In terms greatly improves initial thereby enhancing stability Regarding maneuverability, achieves maximum steering force at rudder angle 15°, demonstrating excellent maneuvering capabilities. Overall, indicate exhibits outstanding providing reliable theoretical references technical support sailboats.

Observing air-sea interactions on a global scale is essential for improving Earth system forecasts. Yet these exchanges are challenging to quantify range of reasons, including extreme conditions, vast and remote under-sampled locations, requirements multitude co-located variables, the high variability fluxes in space time. Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) present novel solution measuring crucial at scale. Powered by renewable energy (e.g., wind waves propulsion, solar power electronics), USVs have provided navigable persistent observing capabilities over past decade half. In our review 200 USV datasets 96 studies, we found observed total 33 variables spanning physical, biogeochemical, biological ecological processes transition zone. We map showing proliferation adoption scientific ocean observing. This review, carried out under auspices ‘Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy’ (OASIS), makes case permanent network complement mature emerging networks within Global Ocean System (GOOS). The Observations Coordination Group (OCG) overseeing GOOS has identified ten attributes an in-situ network. Here, discuss evaluate maturation towards meeting attributes. Our article forms basis roadmap formalise guide community integrated frontier.

Sea surface latent and sensible heat fluxes are crucial components of the air-sea energy exchanges that influence upper-ocean content marine atmospheric boundary layer. Due to limited availability in situ observations, assessing their impact on Arctic weather climate has mainly been done using data assimilation products numerical model simulations. The accuracy models are, however, largely unvalidated. Recent deployments saildrones, remotely piloted uncrewed vehicles, can help bridge this gap observations. This study represents an initial effort validate sea over Pacific sub-Arctic open ocean from three commonly used global reanalysis (NASA MERRA2, ECMWF ERA5, NOAA CFSR2) against observations by saildrones. In general, these saildrone agree well, except for CFSR2 fluxes, which exhibit systematic negative biases. Sporadic, very large (greater than two observed standard deviations) discrepancies between do occur. These substantial primarily result errors temperature both humidity wind speed fluxes. results suggest MERRA2 ERA5 reliable representing mean features region. Nonetheless, reliability is when studies high-frequency variability, such as synoptic events.

Since 2015, the Innovative Technology for Arctic Exploration (ITAE) program has supported maritime technology development that contributes to economic growth, ocean health, and management in Alaska. The does this multiple ways: through public-private partnerships, platform small-scale sensor design, research operations, commercialization, application of science-driven technologies. ITAE is a high-risk, high-reward collaborative provides support expertise creative scientists pursuing highly innovative solutions with potential broad impact US marine sciences. This funded NOAA projects may be overlooked traditional peer-review process because their inherent risk. However, not all risks lead success, every risk leads failure, failures eliminate success. Development growth are nurtured by temporary setbacks. science advanced these researchers collaborators forges new paths discovery. While an excellent testbed, part, due its extreme conditions, technologies lessons detailed here transferable oceanographic outside Arctic. paper reviews as well successes dedicated innovation at Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.

Abstract The western Arctic marginal seas undergo large seasonal variation, but are very challenging to observe directly due sea ice and shallow depths. Deployments of several saildrone uncrewed surface vehicles in the summers 2018 2019 provided unique opportunities validate satellite‐derived near currents, Ocean Surface Current Analysis Real‐time (OSCAR), against situ upper ocean current measurements. Overall, OSCAR is biased low (by 5.3 cm/s) with significant noise. Higher vector correlation estimated by cosine similarity speed differences often occur where stronger currents (often topography‐steered) observed. Such reveal that data set resolvability depends on spatial temporal resolutions, smoothing, latitudes, suggesting able depict major systems significantly underestimates their strength. Poorer occurs at weaker regimes (<10 cm/s), over Hanna Shoal, fresher water melt river discharge. latter two class highlight importance salinity contribution buoyancy force which neglected formulation.
