XXIII.—The Clyde Sea Area

Survival of decapod crustaceans discarded in the Nephrops fishery of the Clyde Sea area, Scotland

The Clyde Sea Nephrops fishery produces large amounts of invertebrate discards. Of these, as much as 89% are decapod crustaceans, including the swimming crab Liocarcinus depurator (Linnaeus, 1758), the squat lobster Munida rugosa (Fabricius, 1775) and the hermit crab Pagurus bernhardus (Linnaeus, 1758). The short-term mortality of these species was assessed following trawling and periods of aer...

Model Uncertainty Merlise Clyde and Edward

The evolution of Bayesian approaches for model uncertainty over the past decade has been remarkable. Catalyzed by advances in methods and technology for posterior computation, the scope of these methods has widened substantially. Major thrusts of these developments have included new methods for semi-automatic prior specification and posterior exploration. To illustrate key aspects of this evolu...

Near-coastal satellite altimetry: Sea surface height variability in the North Sea – Baltic Sea area

The radiometer wet tropospheric correction is a limiting factor of the application of near-coastal altimetry observations in the North Sea – Baltic Sea area. Using an ECMWF model based correction instead, we increase the return rate from 70% to 95%, with observations as close as 10 km from the coast. The altimetry and 39 coastal tide gauges are referenced to the same state of the art regional g...
