  • Lewis Wave Power Ltd. (LWP) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Aquamarine Power Ltd.) was seeking to develop a wave energy demonstration array off the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. As a first stage of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the project, LWP commissioned Royal Haskoning Ltd. to produce an Environmental Scoping Report (Lewis Wave Power Ltd., 2011) to facilitate the identification and assessment of the potential environmental impacts associated with the project. The survey reported on here formed this field-based benthic component. Its purpose was to provide site-specific benthic data to inform an assessment of impact of the proposed development. The key objectives were to: Determine the distribution and abundance of marine habitats and communities within the study areas; Determine the substrate type at all locations sampled and Identify habitats or species of conservation importance.

  • A mooring, equipped with a CTD sensor (SBE37) at 350 m depth, was deployed in the Yermak Pass on the 24 September 2017 from the R/V Lance. The mooring was recovered in summer 2020 from K/V Svalbard. The present dataset provides 10-day smoothed time series of daily conservative temperature (CT, °C), absolute salinity (SA, g/kg) and pressure (db) recorded by the SBE37 sensor, from the 24 September 2017 to the 31 May 2020. The mooring was located at 80.63°N, 6.88°E.

  • During 33 years, from January 1986 to December 2018, seawater temperature has then been registered daily at 4pm in the pumping station([1])-[#_ftn1] of the Nuclear Power Station of Flamanville located 25 km south west of Cherbourg. In order to cool their condensers, seawater has been drawn off with a water flows of 45 m3s-1. The monthly average seawater temperature minimum has been registered in February (8,90°C), with extremes values in 1986 (6,80°C) and 2016 (10,33°C). The maximum of the seawater temperature has been registered in august (17, 81°C), varying from 16,28°C in 1986 to 18,60°C in 2014. The annual average seawater temperature is 13,09°C when using monthly average values and 13,13°C using all 12053 individuals values. Mean annual values differ from 11,37 °C in 1986 to 14,18 °C in 2014. Before this time-series of 33 years, the only dataset available had been registered between 1904 and 1923 and had been published in 35 by J. R. Lumby([5])-[#_ftn5] at 12 meter depth to get an additional time-series of 999 seawater temperatures recorded from September 1976 to May 1980, in a discontinuous way. An increase of 1,2 °C in the annual mean seawater temperature is observed between the first and the third time-series. A key point when analysing those three time-series is to keep in mind the difference in the location, depth and in the sensor. Conclusions from comparisons of those three time series need to be done carefully. Those data are now updated each year before being published in an annual report for Ifremer and EDF([6])-[#_ftn6] about the ecological and fishery monitoring of Flamanville Nuclear Power Station location.   ([1])-[#_ftnref1] Geographical coordinates of the pumping station : 49,53 N – 1,88 W ([2])-[#_ftnref2] LUMBY, J.R. 1935.- « Salinity and temperature of the English Channel ».

  • Aimed at understanding the mesoscale eddy’s effect on the subduction and dissipation of the North Pacific Subtropical Mode Water, a field experiment namely the Pacific Mode Water Ventilation Experiment (P-MoVE) was carried out in the northwestern Pacific Ocean ((Xu et al., 2016)-[https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms10505]). During 27 March to 5 April 2014, we conducted 54 station surveys in an anticyclonic eddy (AE) and a nearby weak cyclonic eddy (CE) with a spacing of 0.25° (Figure 1). The conductivity-temperature-depth system (CTD 911plus, Sea-Bird Electronics) and microstructure probe (MSS-90, Sea & Sun Technology) were deployed to obtain temperature-salinity profiles and microscale velocity shear at these stations.

  • As part of the ongoing PHANTOM (Poleward Heat Transport across the ACC) program of LOCEAN/Sorbonne University, we have recently occupied two full-depth Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sections in the Udintsev Fracture Zone region during a current-meter mooring deploying cruise in February 2016 and a mooring recovery cruise in December 2017 on board the Korean icebreaker Araon, in collaboration with physical teams of Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) and Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST). Several hydrographic sections have been made in the upstream and downstream areas of the UFZ especially during the 1990s World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) period, such as WOCE P16 at 150°W and WOCE P17 at 135°W. However, no high-quality top-to-bottom hydrography has ever been performed in the UFZ itself at 144°W, despite its narrowest circumpolar choke point. Ref: Park et al. (2019), Observations of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current over the Udintsev Fracture Zone, the narrowest choke point in the Southern Ocean, JGR, in review.

  • A geotechnical survey campaign was undertaken within the vicinity of the Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm. This was supported by a preliminary review of acoustic data and assessment for the presence of Annex I reefs to minimise the risk of potential damage to protected features. Following the review of existing data, a drop down video survey protocol was developed (EMU, 2011) and approved by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). Part of this protocol identified that a number of proposed geotechnical sampling sites were likely to be in the vicinity of potential Annex I reefs and therefore warranted field ground-truthing by means of drop down video to verify the presence and status of these features. The video ground-truthing survey has now been completed. Drawing upon the findings of this survey, the 2012 EMU report present within this series provides an update of the assessment of the potential Annex I reefs present at the proposed geotechnical sample locations and fulfils condition 3.1.1 of the Marine Licence (Licence L/2011/001075). The aim of the 2013 Fugro EMU document also present within this series was to satisfy Marine Licence condition 31.22 and to address the responses from the MMO regarding the Annex I reef features (letter ref: REN024, dated 12th April 2013, and 21st June 2013). The objectives were to assess the impacts (direct and indirect) of the construction activities on the potential Annex I features. The objectives of this report were to: 1. Assess the direct impact (loss of habitat) of each of the construction activities; 2. Assess the associated indirect impacts (increase in sediment smothering, and suspended sediment concentrations. 3. Assess the cumulative impacts of all construction activities.
