Inlet Dynamics Initiative: Algarve (INDIA)
The INDIA project was motivated primarily by a requirement to improve understanding of the interacting hydrodynamic and sedimentological processes at work in the European coastal zone and to develop improved methodologies to predict changes in morphology - [More]

Processes of Vertical Exchange in Shelf Seas (PROVESS)
The PROVESS project was a joint European funded project for an interdisciplinary study of the vertical fluxes of properties through the water column and the surface and bottom boundaries based on the integrated application of new measuring techniques, new advances in turbulence theory and new models - [More]

Shelf Edge Study (SES)
SES (Part of the LOIS project) began in March 1995 and continued until August 1996. Moorings were deployed along a southern line and a northern line in an area to the west of Scotland.

This data report describes the results from current meters (InterOcean S4s, Aanderaa RCMs), Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (RD Instruments ADCPs), thermistor chains, bottom pressure recorders (BPRs), meteorological buoys, transmissometers and temperature probes - [More]

Coastal and Shelf Sea Interactions (COIN)
The COIN project was to improve understanding of the active processes in coastal and shelf seas and their essential interactions, thereby developing coupled models for forecasting and management into the next century - [More]

Ocean Shelf Interactions (OSHI)
The OSHI project was the identification, measurement, interpretation, formulation and predictive modelling of physical processes at the continental shelf edge and in adjacent summer stratified shelf waters, emphasising coupling and exchange - [More]

Pre-operational Modelling in Seas of Europe (PROMISE)
Pre-operational oceanography needs internationally organised monitoring and communications networks, and rationalisation of the range of models used. The The PROMISE project comprised of a group of leading European organisations addressing these requirements via a user community and wider initiatives such as EUROGOOS - [More]
