The main goal of MarProd is to develop coupled modelling and observation systems for the pelagic ecosystem, with emphasis on the physical factors affecting zooplankton dynamics.

13) Marine Environment Monitoring and Assessment National database (MERMAN) — 2006 - 2009
MERMAN is a new national database designed to hold and provide access to data collected under the Clean Safe Seas Environmental Monitoring Programme (CSEMP) - formerly the National Marine Monitoring Programme (NMMP).

14) NERC DataGrid — 2002 - 2005
The challenge for NERC DataGrid is to build an e-grid which makes data discovery, delivery and use much easier than it is now.

15) North Sea Project — Completed 1992
The North Sea Project aimed to enhance scientists’ ability to predict the impact of man’s activities on the North Sea through the development computer based models.

16) Plankton Reactivity in the Marine Environment (PRIME) — Completed 2000
The PRIME project studied the role of plankton in determining oceanic biogeochemical fluxes and their implications in climate regulation.

17) Rapid Climate Change (RAPID) — 2001 - 2007
The RAPID programme is an effort to understand the causes of sudden changes in the Earth's climate.

18) RAPID-WATCH — 2008 - 2014
Building on RAPID, the RAPID-WATCH programme aims to deliver a decade-long time series of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC).

19) UK Tide Gauge Network — Ongoing
A network of tide gauges set up as a result of severe flooding along the east coast of England in 1953. The network forms the basis for present day storm surge forecasts.

20) UK Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (UK SOLAS) — 2003 - 2010
The UK's contribution to the SOLAS programme which aims to clarify the complex interactions between the ocean and atmosphere. The focus is on chemical exchanges that affect marine productivity and climate.

21) UK World Ocean Circulation Experiment (UK WOCE) — Completed 2002
The UK's contribution to the WOCE project which studied the deep oceans and carried out theoretical and numerical modelling studies.

European (http://www.bodc.ac.uk/projects/european/)

1) Delta Flume experiment — Completed 2001
The Delta Flume experiment aimed to verify and quantify hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes involved with resuspension of sediments in oscillatory-only flows at full-scale.

2) European Directory of the Initial Ocean-observing System (EDIOS) — Completed 2004
The EDIOS project constructed and implemented an ocean observing meta database, providing a new tool for searching for information on observing systems operating in European waters.

3) European Sea-Level Service (ESEAS) — Ongoing
ESEAS is an international collaboration of organisations operating more than 170 tide gauges along European coasts.

4) HUMBOLDT — 2006 - 2010
The HUMBOLDT project will help provide a framework for geo data harmonisation and service integration across Europe.

5) Inlet Dynamics Initiative: Algarve (INDIA) — Completed 2001
The INDIA project studied the interactions between tides, waves, currents and sediment processes at work in the European coastal zone with the aim to be able to predict change.

6) Monitoring the Atlantic Inflow toward the Arctic (MAIA) — Completed 2003
The MAIA project developed an inexpensive, reliable system for monitoring the inflow of Atlantic water to the Nordic Seas and looked at how changes of ice extent in the north are related to this flux.

1) Argo — Ongoing
Argo aims to deploy a global array of profiling floats. This will result in the long-term systematic measurement of physical state of the upper ocean. BODC acts as the UK Argo Data Centre and the Southern Ocean Argo Regional Centre.

2) Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) — 1995 - 2010
CLIVAR seeks to better understand and predict our climate in order to take precautions and to reduce impacts of climate variability and change on our planet. BODC acts as the CLIVAR Moored Instrument and Sea Level Data Assembly Centres.
