An Operational System For Monitoring Oil Spills In The Mediterranean Sea: The PROMED System
The primary objective of this work was the development of an operational system for early detection of oil-spills, monitoring of their evolution, and provision of
Lagrangian study of the final warming in the southern stratosphere during 2002: Part II. 3D structure
This two-part paper aims to provide a Lagrangian perspective of the final southern warming in spring of 2002, during which the stratospheric polar vortex (SPV)
Lagrangian study of the final warming in the southern stratosphere during 2002: Part I. The vortex splitting at upper levels
The present two-part paper provides a Lagrangian perspective of the final southern warming in 2002, during which the stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) experienced a unique
Lagrangian transport across the upper Arctic waters in the Canadian Basin
This paper studies transport, from a Lagrangian perspective, across selected circulation patterns in the upper Arctic Ocean waters. To this end, we apply the methodology

Trends in Primary Production in the Canary Current Upwelling System—A Regional Perspective Comparing Remote Sensing Models
After Bakun (1990) formulated his hypothesis of upwelling intensification caused by increasing global warming, contradictory results have been published on whether primary productivity is increasing
An Embedded Low-Power Control System for Autonomous Sailboats
This work presents a small and affordable autonomous sailboat platform designed to be transported and operated by one or two people without any special means.
Drone hyperspectral system for monitoring coastal bathing water quality
The bathing water quality is an essential issue because of the consequences for the public health of the coastline users that make an extensive recreational
Optimization-Based Weather Routing for Sailboats
In this paper we propose a deterministic route planner for a sailboat suitable for areas where high quality wind and currents forecasts are available. An
