SOCIB: the impact of new marine infrastructures in understanding and forecasting the coastal oceans: some examples from the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea

New monitoring technologies are being progressively implemented in coastal ocean observatories. As an example, gliders allow high resolution sampling, showing the existence of new features, such as submesoscale eddies with intense vertical motions that significantly affect upper ocean biogeochemical exchanges, an issue of worldwide relevance in a climate change context. SOCIB, is one of such systems, a new facility of facilities (covering from the coast to the open sea, and including among others a nearshore beach monitoring facility, HF radar, gliders and AUV’s, moorings, satellite, drifters and ARGO profilers, modelling), a scientific and technological infrastructure which is providing free, open, quality controlled and timely streams of oceanographic and coastal data and also modelling services. SOCIB takes profit of the strategic position of the Balearic Island at the Atlantic/Mediterranean transition area, one of the ‘hot spots’ of biodiversity in the world’s oceans. As an example of on-going SOCIB operations, since January 2011 sustained glider operations are in place in the Ibiza and Mallorca channels. The data centre is the core of SOCIB. The data management system created for gliders is an example of the new informatics capabilities for real time definition of mission planning, including adaptive sampling and real time monitoring using a Web tool that allows quick visualization and download. This type of new infrastructures, combined with new technologies and careful scientific analysis will allow new ways of international cooperation leading to major science breakthroughs in the very near future and new ways of science based coastal and ocean management.Peer Reviewe

New technologies for marine research: 4 years of glider activities at IMEDEA-TMOOS

Trabajo presentado en EOF2010, I Encuentro de la Oceanografía Física Española, celebrada del 13 al 15 de octubre de 2010 en Barcelona (España), y organizada por el Centro Mediterráneo de Investigaciones Marinas y Medioambientales del CSIC (ICM-CSIC) y el Laboratorio de Ingeniería Marítima de la Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya (LIM-UPC)Underwater gliders are a special case of underwater autonomous vehicles designed to observe vast areas of the interior ocean. Buoyancy control allows vertical motions in the water column. In addition, using their hydrodynamic shape and small fins, they can project the vertical buoyancy force to move horizontally. This combination of vertical and horizontal movements makes the glider follow a sawtooth pattern. The nominal horizontal speed is about 1 km/h. The long autonomy period at sea is the main advantage of this platform. Gliders allow autonomous and sustained collection of CTD data and biogeochemical measurements (fluorescence, oxygen, turbidity, etc) at high spatial resolution (~0.5 km) and at low cost compared to conventional methods. We will present recent results from glider missions in the Western Mediterranean that confirm the feasibility of using coastal and deeps gliders to monitor mesocale processes in the upper ocean. Gliders have also proved to be highly robust platforms to monitor the ocean even under adverse meteorological conditions and/or in really challenging oceanic areas such as the Alborán Sea. The Glider Unit at IMEDEA Department of Marine Technologies, Operational Oceanography and Sustainability (TMOOS) is operating gliders since 2007. The actual fleet consists of 4 Slocum gliders, one is limited to 200 m depth and three can reach 1.000 m depth. IMEDEA‐TMOOS gliders have carried out about 15 gliders missions in the western Mediterranean Sea and gathered ~6200 conductivity‐temperature‐depth and biogeochemical profilesPeer Reviewe

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
