Currents Sample Clauses
The "Currents" clause defines how payments or obligations are to be settled between parties on a net basis, rather than individually for each transaction. In practice, this means that instead of making separate payments for each transaction, the parties calculate the net amount owed after offsetting mutual obligations, and only the difference is paid. This approach streamlines the settlement process, reduces administrative burden, and minimizes credit risk by ensuring that only the net exposure is paid or received.
Currents. Current profiles: there have been many research projects deploying moorings and ship-board ADCPs to measure current profiles. Many of the on-going mooring projects (as listed in s3.3.1.1) such as FRAM, NABOS, ALTIMA, IMR moorings in the Barents Sea Opening and OceanSITES moorings. Research vessels are often quipped with Vessel-Mounted ADCP (VMADCP), e.g. in FRAM and AREX (Long-term large-scale multidisciplinary Arctic monitoring program). For the historical period, there is also a collection of following data:
Currents a major use of current observations is for validating and calibrating the ocean models and products. Although there is a lack of current data in under-ice regions in the Arctic, there are many current profile and surface current data which have not been collected for Copernicus use. Some of these have been identified in section 3.3. HF radar can be an effective tool to fill the gaps in surface offshore currents monitoring. Biogeochemical profiles (nutrients, oxygen, chl-a, backscattering coefficient, carbon) Biogeochemical (BGC) in situ data in the Arctic are less than 10% of the T/S profiles. Oxygen is the most closely associated with T/S profiles. Other biogeochemical parameters are much less frequently measured then oxygen. Moorings may have oxygen sensors loaded but rarely other BGC variables. BioArgo floats can measure oxygen, chl-a, nitrate, suspended particles, downward irradiance and pH but they do not necessarily measure all the parameters. For BioArgo operated in the Arctic region, all of them have oxygen sensors but only 2-3 of them measure chl-a. Most of the BGC profiles are measured by research vessels while the data are assembled and disseminated in a late stage via ICES, SeaDataNet, WOD and GLODAPv2. This counts for about 4000 oxygen profiles, 2000 chl-a profiles and 500-1000 nutrient profiles per year. The oxygen data spread in all Arctic ice-free waters except for the Russian side. Chl-a and nutrients are mainly measured in the Nordic Seas. More data are available from iAOS but may have restricted access. In summary, even for ice-free waters, significant data gaps exist for BGC parameters, mainly due to lack of data but also due to restrictions on accessing the existing data.
Currents. In as little as six inches, water that may look calm on the surface and slow-‐moving can have enough force to knock you off your feet and sweep you downstream. Even a slow current can take you where you don't want to go towards hazards and leave strong swimmers unable to reach the shore.
