    Oceán je krásný, pokud se neocitnete přímo uprostřed něj. V mé rodině koluje zvláštní, pravděpodobně dědičná choroba. V určitém věku se členové naší rodiny náhle přestanou hýbat a zbytek života stráví v křesle. Pravděpodobně se jedná o těžký případ deprese, ale je těžké ji diagnostikovat, protože nemocné nemůžete přimět, aby si s někým promluvili nebo dokonce opustili místnost. Na toto téma jsem se rozhodl vytvořit uměleckou instalaci. Je to můj způsob, jak se vyrovnat s touto hrozbou a rád bych také do této problematiky vnesl trochu světla. Jako symbol jsem si vybral oceán. Oceán se promítá na zeď v téměř prázdné, bílé místnosti. Uprostřed místnosti je křeslo. Čím blíže je pozorovatel ke křeslu, tím pomaleji se oceán pohybuje. Abych toho docílil, používám kombinaci senzoru LiDAR a různých programovacích jazyků. Tak pojďte dál, uvelebte se a užijte si nepohodlí života, který se přestal hýbat. Obhájeno The ocean is beautiful, unless you are right in the middle of it. There is a trange, probably hereditary condition in my family. At a certain age members of my family suddenly stop moving and they spent the rest of their lives in a chair. It is probably a severe case of depression, but it is hard to diagnose because you cannot make them leave the room or even talk to anyone. I have decided to translate this into an art installation. It is my way of coping with this threat and also I would like to shine some light into this issue. As a symbol I have chosen the ocean. The ocean is projected on a wall in an empty room with a chair. The closer an observer is to the chair, the slower the ocean moves. Sit on the chair still and the ocean will be still. To achieve this I am using a combination of LiDAR sensors and javaScript code. So come on in and enjoy the discomfort of life that stopped moving.

    Glider vehicles are now perhaps some of the most prolific providers of real-time and near-real-time operational oceanographic data. However, the data from these vehicles can and should be considered to have a long-term legacy value capable of playing a critical role in understanding and separating inter-annual, inter-decadal, and longterm global change. To achieve this, we have to go further than simply assuming the manufacturer’s calibrations, and field correct glider data in a more traditional way, for example, by careful comparison to water bottle calibrated lowered CTD datasets and/or “gold” standard recent climatologies. In this manuscript, we bring into the 21st century a historical technique that has been used manually by oceanographers for many years/decades for field correction/inter-calibration, thermal lag correction, and adjustment for biological fouling. The technique has now been made semi-automatic for machine processing of oceanographic glider data, although its future and indeed its origins have far wider scope. The subject of this manuscript is drawn from the original Description of Work (DoW) for a key task in the recently completed JERICO-NEXT (Joint European Research Infrastructure network for Coastal Observatories) EU-funded program, but goes on to consider future application and the suitability for integration with machine learning.

    Bottom trawling in the deep sea is one of the main drivers of sediment resuspension, eroding the seafloor and altering the content and composition of sedimentary organic matter (OM). The physical and biogeochemical impacts of bottom trawling were studied on the continental slope of the Gulf of Castellammare, Sicily (southwestern Mediterranean), through the analysis of two triplicate sediment cores collected at trawled and untrawled sites (∼550 m water depth) during the summer of 2016. Geochemical and sedimentological parameters (excess 210Pb, excess 234Th, 137Cs, dry bulk density, and grain size), elemental (organic carbon and nitrogen) and biochemical composition of sedimentary OM (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids), as well as its freshness (phytopigments) and degradation rates were determined in both coring locations. The untrawled site had a sedimentation rate of 0.15 cm yr−1 and presented a 6 cm thick surface mixed layer that contained siltier sediment with low excess 210Pb concentrations, possibly resulting from the resuspension, posterior advection, and eventual deposition of coarser and older sediment from adjacent trawling grounds. In contrast, the trawled site was eroded and presented compacted century-old sediment highly depleted in OM components, which were between 20 % and 60 % lower than those in the untrawled site. However, the upper 2 cm of the trawled site consisted of recently accumulated sediments enriched in excess 234Th, excess 210Pb, and phytopigments, while OM contents were similar to those from the untrawled core. This fresh sediment supported protein turnover rates of 0.025 d−1, which doubled those quantified in surface sediments of the untrawled site. The enhancement of remineralization rates in surface sediment of the trawled site was associated with the arrival of fresh particles on a chronically trawled deep-sea region that is generally deprived of OM. We conclude that the detrimental effects of bottom trawling can be temporarily and partially abated by the arrival of fresh and nutritionally rich OM, which stimulate the response of benthic communities. However, these ephemeral deposits are likely to be swiftly eroded due to the high trawling frequency over fishing grounds, highlighting the importance of establishing science-based management strategies to mitigate the impacts of bottom trawling.

    Bakalářská práce v podobě autorské knihy nese název podle použitého textu od Ernesta Hemingwaye Ostrovy uprostřed proudu. Ilustrace zhotovené na japonský papír jsou hlubinami oceánu, které omývají břehy textových ostrovů. Ty nás udržují v linii děje. Kniha je rozdělena do tří částí, stejně jako její předloha. Text je však zkrácen na ty nejdůležitější momenty z knihy a nechává tak prostor pro její obrazovou část. Obhájeno The Author's book is called after Ernest Hemingway's book Islands in the Stream. The book is an expedition into the deep blue ocean which surrounds the isles of the leading text. These isles of the text keep us in the rythm of the book. The book consists of three parts - as well as the original book. The text has been shortened to the main moments of the story. Thanks to this reduction there is a space left for the illustrated part of the book.

    The North Atlantic Ocean is a major sink region for atmospheric CO2 and contributes to the storage of anthropogenic carbon (Cant). While there is general agreement that the intensity of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) modulates uptake, transport and storage of Cant in the North Atlantic Subpolar Ocean, processes controlling their recent variability and evolution over the 21st century remain uncertain. This study investigates the relationship between transport, air–sea flux and storage rate of Cant in the North Atlantic Subpolar Ocean over the past 53 years. Its relies on the combined analysis of a multiannual in situ data set and outputs from a global biogeochemical ocean general circulation model (NEMO–PISCES) at 1∕2∘ spatial resolution forced by an atmospheric reanalysis. Despite an underestimation of Cant transport and an overestimation of anthropogenic air–sea CO2 flux in the model, the interannual variability of the regional Cant storage rate and its driving processes were well simulated by the model. Analysis of the multi-decadal simulation revealed that the MOC intensity variability was the major driver of the Cant transport variability at 25 and 36∘ N, but not at OVIDE. At the subpolar OVIDE section, the interannual variability of Cant transport was controlled by the accumulation of Cant in the MOC upper limb. At multi-decadal timescales, long-term changes in the North Atlantic storage rate of Cant were driven by the increase in air–sea fluxes of anthropogenic CO2. North Atlantic Central Water played a key role for storing Cant in the upper layer of the subtropical region and for supplying Cant to Intermediate Water and North Atlantic Deep Water. The transfer of Cant from surface to deep waters occurred mainly north of the OVIDE section. Most of the Cant transferred to the deep ocean was stored in the subpolar region, while the remainder was exported to the subtropical gyre within the lower MOC.
