Mutlidisciplinary Oceanographic Research in the Eastern Boundary of the North Atlantic (morena) - Measures, understands and models shelf-ocean exchange in a typical coastal upwelling region of the eastern boundary layer of the subtropical ocean.

NERC Autosub Missions Thematic Programme (Autosub) - aims ultimately to provide scientists with the capability to collect routine physical, biological, chemical and geophysical data, to depths of 6000 metres and over transects of several thousands of kilometres via autonomous underwater vehicles.

New Millennium Observatory Network (NeMO NeT) - Hydrothermal vent monitoring - links intruments and a camera located within the caldera of a submarine volcano to the Internet.

North East Atlantic, Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian sea experiment (NEAT GIN) - The NEAT GIN experiment took place during September-October 1989 at the Norwegian shelf edge near 68°N. Seven moorings, five in a closely-spaced cross-slope section, have proved a valuable precursor to the Shelf Edge Study (SES) west of Scotland. The NEAT GIN data analysis has now been completed.

North Pacific Marine Research Program (NPMR) - NPMR is dedicated to scientific research in the Bering Sea and adjacent waters, with the goal of better understanding the oceanic and ecological systems.

North Sea Model Advection Dispersion Study (NOMADS ) - an intercomparison of advection-dispersion models for the North West European continental shelf presently available and being used at various institutes within the European Union.

Observations and Modelling of Eddy Scale Geostrophic and Ageostrophic circulation (OMEGA) - Aims to study the three-dimensional ageostrophic circulation and quantitatively estimate the vertical velocity and to evaluate the impact of the ageostrophic vertical motion on biogeochemical properties.

Ocean Circulation and Climate Advanced Modelling Project (OCCAM) - The OCCAM project has developed two high resolution (1/4 and 1/8 degree) models of the World Ocean - including the Arctic Ocean and marginal seas such as the Mediterranean. The project is being carried out by researchers at the Southampton Oceanography Centre in collaboration with colleagues from the Universities of East Anglia and Edinburgh.

Ocean Colour for the Determination of Water Column Biological Processes (BIOCOLOR) - The aim of this study is relate changes in the properties of the water column and associated sucessions in the phytoplankton with changes in optical properties and ocean colour. Models based on these relationships will be developed and validated. These models will facilitate the interpretation of measurements of ocean colour (remote or in-situ) in terms of the temporal and spatial structures of phytoplankton communities.

Ocean Margin EXchange (OMEX) - OMEX is a large-scale multidisciplinary project bringing together scientists throughout Europe. This major oceanographic initiative studies the biogeochemical fluxes and processes occurring along the European continental shelf.

Ocean State Estimation Projects (OSEP) - Ocean modeling, fitting and state estimation strategies (data assimilation) at Climate Research Division, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

PROcesses of Vertical Exchange in Shelf Seas (PROVESS). - PROVESS is a joint European MAST III funded interdisciplinary study of 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.

PRe-Operational Modelling In the Seas of Europe (PROMISE). - PROMISE's objectives are to develop a framework in which to optimise the application of existing pre-operational dynamical models of the North Sea and to quantify sediment exchange rates and scales between coast and the near-shore. PROMISE is an EU-RTD Project.

Physiological Ecology of a Pelagic crustacean (PEP). - Impact of a Climatic Gradient on the Physiological Ecology of a Pelagic crustacean - a study of the functional marine biodiversity as a basis for understanding ecosystem structure, dynamics and resilience is focused on the Northern krill. The patterns of diversity in this species - an important component of Atlantic communities - will be investigated at specific locations in the north-eastern Atlantic, the Kattegat and the Meditarranean.

Plankton Reactivity in the Marine Environment (PRIME) - aims to lay the basis for mathematical models to describe the role of plankton in biogeochemical fluxes within the oceans which have implications in climate regulation.

Prediction of Aggregated-Scale Coastal Evolution (PACE). - The project is the European Part of a worldwide network of research projects dealing with the prediction of the largescale evolution of sandy coasts, at decadal and century scales.

Processes in Regions of Fresh Water Influence (PROFILE) - studies the role of physical processes controlling water-property distributions, suspended sediments controlling the availability of light, nutrients and phytoplankton growth. The project comprises development of a 3-D nearshore model, measurements in contrasted ROFIs and comparisons between them.

Regional STOrm, WAve and SUrge Scenarios for the 2100 century (STOWASUS-2100) - Aims to study severe storms, surges and waves in the present climate and in a scenario with increased CO2-concentration. More specifically the project is a joint atmospheric/oceanographic numerical modelling effort aiming at constructing and analysing storm, wave and surge climatologies for the North Atlantic/European region in a climate forced by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases and to compare with present day conditions.
