Canary Islands Azores Gibraltar Observations (CANIGO) - The main goal of the CANIGO project is to understand the functioning of the marine system in the Canary-Azores-Gibraltar region of the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and its links with the Alboran Sea through comprehensive interdisciplinary basin scale studies.

Climate Variability and Predictability (VLIVAR) - The German contribution to the international CLIVAR program contributes mainly to climate variability on scales of decadal and longer periods, with emphasis on the role of the ocean for the dynamics and predictability of long-term climate variations.

Climate Variability and Predictability Study (CLIVAR) - An interdisciplinary research effort within the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) focussing on the variability and predictability of the slowly varying components of the climate system. It investigates the physical and dynamical processes in the climate system that occur on seasonal, interannual, decadal and centennial time-scales.

Coastal Area Modelling for Engineering in the LOng Term (CAMELOT) - An ambitious seven-year programme of research into the development of methods for making predictions of coastal morphology over periods of up to decades.

Coastal Habitat Management Plans (CHaMPs) - The project is intended to help develop and trial a methodology to allow EU member states to fulfil essential obligations under Article 6.2 of the Habitats Directive. In the UK this is reinforced by MAFF High Level Targets for Flood and Coastal Defence, and will support the delivery of Biological Action Plans aimed at securing the management of Natura 2000 sites.

Coastal Study Of Three - Dimensional Sand Transport Processes And Morphodynamics (COAST-3D). - The purpose of the COAST3D project is to improve understanding of the physics of coastal sand transport and morphodynamics, and to produce validated modelling tools, and methodologies for their use, in a form suitable for coastal zone management.

Coastal and Shelf Sea Interactions (COIN). - The overall aim of the NERC CCMS "COIN" project is to improve the understanding of the active processes in coastal and shelf seas and their essential interactions, thereby enabling the development of coupled models for forecasting and management into the next century.

Comparative Analysis and Rationalization of Second-Moment Turbulence Models (CARTUM) - sets out to meet the challenge to merge theoretical aspects, new field observations, laboratory measurements, and computer-generated data sets with computational and numerical considerations with the ultimate goal of significantly improving second-moment closure models.

Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey (CPR) - Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science runs the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey, a long term plankton survey in the North Atlantic and North Sea. The database is online.

Ecosystem Processes from Estuary to Shelf (EMPRESS) - A single programme, comprising three project elements, with an overall objective to reduce uncertainties in key processes in estuarine, coastal and shelf ecosystems, and an aspiration to develop better forecasting and predictive models. EMPRESS is highly interdisciplinary with numerous linkages between the three elements. The programme focuses on strategic issues of national and international importance and is highly relevant for the global societal needs of climate change and sustainability.

Electronic DAta Publishing for MAST (EDAP) - The objective of the EDAP project is to develop know-how on Electronic DAta Publishing for MAST research projects and to make available, by the end of the project, a guideline on electronic data publishing. This is achieved by looking at three different MAST research projects.

European North Atlantic Margin (ENAM). - The overall objective of the ENAM II project is to quantify and model large-scale sedimentary processes and material fluxes in the north Atlantic and to assess their relation to the variability of oceanic and cryospheric processes. The timing, causes and flow behaviour of mass wasting events and the relationship between mass wasting events and deep-sea fan developments are to be determined in order to understand the spatial and temporal variability of marine systems from the shelf edge to the continental slope and the deep sea.

European Rivers and Oceans System 2000 project (EROS2000) - The EROS 2000 database contains 166 scientific abstracts, contact details for 130 scientists and data submitted from 8 research cruises carried out in the north-western and western Mediterranean Sea as part of the European Rivers and Ocean System 2000 project. The application, having modest system requirements, allows the user to visualise and maintain the project data in an efficient manner.

European Shore Platform Erosion Dynamics (ESPED) - Aims to improve scientific knowledge and understanding of the development and downwearing of shore platforms and of the relationships between shore platform change and the rates of retreat of sea cliffs on the landward side of the platforms.

European Sub-Polar Ocean Programme (ESOP-2). - The goal of ESOP-2 is to understand the thermohaline circulation in the Greenland Sea, its sensitivity, and impact on global ocean circulation, building on a unique combination of novel experimental techniques, modelling and experience gained under ESOP-1.

Florida Bay Circulation & Exchange Program - The study is designed to answer questions about the interchange between Florida Bay waters and the coastal waters of the Florida Keys. In addition, it will characterize the seasonal and potentially the annual variability in the background currents in Florida Bay and the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (GLOBEC) - U.S. GLOBEC is a research program organized by oceanographers and fisheries scientists to address the question of how global climate change may affect the abundance and production of animals in the sea.

Global AssimilatioN Applied to Modelling of European Shelf Seas (GANES) - This EU-CEO project will use satellite altimeter and radiometer data assimilated into global ocean models, to provide ocean current, temperature and salinity boundary conditions for shelf and coastal models which predict sea-levels and currents around Europe.

Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP) - a cooperative effort to generate a unified data set and to determine the global distribution and inventories of inorganic nutrients, both natural and anthropogenic carbon species and natural and bomb-produced radiocarbon from data acquired from several projects such as WOCE, JGOFS, OACES.

Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) - The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is intended to be a permanent global system for observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables needed to support operational ocean services worldwide.
