Sapropels And Palaeoceanography (SAP). - The overall aim of this EC MAST III funded project is to better understand the (paleo) functioning of the eastern Mediterranean and to determine its role in the global environment by studying characteristic biogeochemical processes.
 
SeaWiFS Project - The purpose of the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) Project is to provide quantitative data on global ocean bio-optical properties to the Earth science community
 
Sediment Transport Modelling in Marine Coastal Environments (SEDMOC). - The general objective of the SEDMOC project is to fill gaps in our existing knowledge of transport processes of non-cohesive sediments in the marine coastal environment, and to find suitable parameterizations of those processes which will lead to improvements in existing operational (large-scale) morphological models.
 
Sediment Transport and Boundary Layer Equipment (STABLE) - STABLE is a large instrument to measure sea bed currents. Rapidly changing 3-D turbulent currents are measured by three pairs of electromagnetic current meters, while slower, tidal currents are measured by four, red Savonius rotors and a current-direction vane. Water depth and wave-induced pressure changes are measured by two pressure transducers, while suspended sediment concentration profiles are measured by three acoustic backscatter sensors. Housekeeping functions are measured by a compass, pitch and roll sensors and two temperature sensors.
 
Southern Nutrient Study (SONUS) - A study into the "eutrophication" of estuarine and coastal waters by a team at the Southampton Oceanography Centre. (Site under development)
 
Soviet / American Gas and Aerosol expedition II (SAGA II) - The overall goal of SAGA II was to evaluate the sources, distributions, and fates of climatically significant trace species in the remote, marine environment.
 
Surf and Swash Zone Mechanics (SASME) - The project investigates the physical processes which take place in the surf zone on a coast with and without structures. The project shall lead to significantly improved description of the cross-shore and longshore transport, which mainly occurs within the surf zone.
 
Surface Current And Wave Variability EXperiment (SCAWVEX) - The SCAWVEX project is addressing problems in wave and current development and their interaction in shallow water environments. The primary object is to measure the spatial and temporal variability of waves and currents in coastal regions utilising the full range of state of the art measurement techniques and models.
 
The Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS) - The Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS) is an international programme coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) for the establishment of high quality global and regional sea level networks for application to climate, oceanographic and coastal sea level research.
 
Trans-Atlantic Study of Calanus finmarchicus (TASC). - The objective is to understand the physical and biological processes which control the population dynamics of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus, a key zooplankton species in the north-east Atlantic. Establishing the relationship between the physical and biological factors affecting annual recruitment and reproduction of the species is an essential step towards predicting the consequences of future climate change.
 
Tropical Atmosphere Ocean Project (TAO) - The TAO Array of moored buoys measures oceanographic and surface meteorological variables critical for improved detection, understanding and prediction of seasonal-to-interannual climate variations originating in the tropics, most notably those related to the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
 
Variability of Exchanges In the Northern Seas (VEINS). - The overall objective of VEINS is to measure and to model the variability of the fluxes between the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean with a view on implementing a longer term system of critical measurements needed to understand the high-latitude oceans steering role in decadal climate variability.
 
World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) - The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) is a component of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) and is the most ambitious oceanographic experiment undertaken to-date.
 
Östersjön, Toren och Algblomning - En historik. - This site is in the Swedish language. It´s a description of the Baltic sea, its ecology, geology and history. It concentrate on the algal-bloom situation.
