Department Name: Science and Technology
Abstract
The ocean plays a vital role in sustaining life on planet Earth, both providing us with living resources and regulating our climate. The trajectory of current and future anthropogenically driven climate change will be very substantially controlled by the ability of the ocean to continue absorbing the 93% of excess heat and 30% of anthropogenic carbon entering the atmosphere that it currently takes up. The Atlantic Ocean is particularly important as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) transports heat northwards, keeping north-west Europe 3 degrees warmer than comparable latitudes in N America and Asia. The heat loss associated with the AMOC facilitates intense solubility-driven uptake of both natural and anthropogenic carbon. The Atlantic also supports spatially and temporally diverse biological communities in the water column and at the seafloor which constitute biodiversity reservoirs, act to store carbon in the oceans, and underpin the marine food web; in essence the ocean's natural capital. We now have abundant evidence that many features of the Atlantic Ocean and its marginal seas are changing, including the strength of the thermohaline and wind-driven circulation, sea surface and interior temperature and salinity distributions, air-sea CO2 fluxes, primary production and nutrient fields. These changes may constitute significant threats, by driving fundamental, but poorly understood, changes in the benefits we derive from the Atlantic Ocean.
In an era of rapid planetary change, expanding global population and intense resource exploitation, it is vital that we have internationally coordinated observing and prediction systems so policy makers can make sound evidence-based decisions about the ocean. CLASS will take the powerful synergistic approach of using a range of internationally coordinated observations and world-class numerical models to assess the current status and future evolution of the role Atlantic Ocean systems play in regulating key aspects of ocean services. It will support the UK element of international ocean observing and modelling programmes, prioritising the use of autonomous vehicles and new sensors to improve efficiency, and increase the spatial and temporal coverage of our ocean observations, while reducing dependence on expensive research ships. These underpinning activities will provide a platform for future funding investments for the academic community and contribute key datasets and model outputs that can be used across the UK and global community to address important marine policy relevant questions. Finally, we will create effective engagement activities ensuring academic partners have transparent access to NERC marine science capability through graduate training partnerships and access to shipborne, lab-based and autonomous facilities, and modelling capabilities.

Planned Impact
CLASS will generate impact amongst a wide stakeholder community, ranging from international policy makers to the public; we will therefore implement a variety of pathways to maximise this impact, tailored to each community, as follows:
1) Input to IPCC and other global climate assessment processes, primarily through prompt provision of data, peer-reviewed science outputs, and direct author contributions to IPCC's 6th Assessment Report (due in 2021), and provision of improved ocean model configuration for use in the UK contribution to the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP), which underpins the IPCC process.
2) Supporting UK Government decision makers, primarily through representation in MSCC evidence / working groups and MSCC secretariat support. CLASS will also work closely with Defra, its Delivery Agencies (e.g. JNCC, Cefas) and Devolved Administration equivalents (e.g. Marine Scotland) in delivery of UK marine mapping and observation obligations, e.g. through provision of expertise and technology (including novel sensors) that underpin delivery of Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) assessments and Marine Protected Area survey and monitoring.
3) Providing advice and strategic planning to international science programmes, primarily through committee representation and direct provision of new data and models to programmes including GO-SHIP, ARGO, ICOS and NEMO. We will also provide underpinning science activities and data to GOOS and other IOC-sponsored programmes, enhancing UK leadership and engagement with the IOC.
4) Technology transfer, delivered under guidance from and in partnership with stakeholders, including through market assessments and international technology roadmaps (e.g. through EU-AtlantOS). To ensure effective technology exploitation we will register and protect resulting IP generated by CLASS, and through an open and fair process, select optimal exploitation pathways (e.g. licensing, joint venture or spinout) that deliver technology for users as well as creating positive socio-economic outcomes. We will also disseminate CLASS technologies through conventional pathways, e.g. workshops and showcases, social media, high impact publications, and major international events (e.g. EGU/AGU).
5) Engaging with the wider public and non-scientific audiences will primarily be achieved through institutional press releases (mostly based around high-impact peer-reviewed publications) prepared by institutional communication teams, and supported by dedicated media pages on the CLASS programme website. We will also reach these audiences via established events (e.g. institutional Open Days) and a substantial presence at the Royal Society 'Summer Science Exhibition' towards the end of the project. To develop and maintain interest in CLASS, we will 'tweet' project news regularly and write blogs from all CLASS research expeditions to aid public understanding of our sea-going activities and scientific and technological outputs.

| Description | Research supported through CLASS has revealed that a deep-ocean process playing a key role in regulating Earth's climate is primarily driven by cooling waters west of Europe. These findings will help scientists better forecast changes to the weather and climate by improving understanding of the influence of the ocean upon them. The study focused on part of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), a system of ocean currents in the North Atlantic responsible for the transfer of huge amounts of heat from the ocean to northwest Europe, keeping its climate relatively mild. National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) scientists collaborated on this study alongside colleagues from 16 research institutions across seven countries.The prevailing scientific view, based on modelling studies, had been that most of the AMOC's overturning and variability occurs in the Labrador Sea, off Canada. Whereas this new research, published in the Journal Science, shows the overturning and variability actually happens in regions between Greenland and Scotland. There, warm, salty, shallow waters are carried northward from the tropics by currents and wind, sink and convert into colder, fresher, deep waters moving southward through the Irminger and Iceland basins. |

| Description | Please see extensive list of engagement activity, influence on policy, practice, patents and the public, and software and technical development. As a National Capability project, 80% of our activity is underpinning the UK contribution for the Global Ocean Observing system, working with the Met Office in weather and climate forecasting, developing the next generation of technology needed by the academic community for ocean observations and supporting UK Government in delivering its commitment to international programmes.However, for the evidenced based impact (as related to REF) we are collecting the evidence, but at 3.5 years into the project it is too early to confirm the final long term impacts. We were reviewed by Science Committee and Council as part of a mid-term review and have generated a mid-term report card. We have very positive feedback from Science Committee on the impact and outcomes of out work so far, it was understood that some expeditions had been delayed due to covid, but that we had used our tiem to generate key publications and wider impact. |

| Title | Coastal permafrost erosion model |
| Description | Generic off-line pan-Arctic modelling tool of the coastal permafrost erosion has been developed in the framework of the new coupled ocean-sea ice-waves NEMO-CICE-WW3 model and can be used in other coupled and forced ocean-wave models. The developed model follows closely Wight's model (Barnhart 2014) and calculates coastal erosion due to wave action and sea level change anomalies, with added permafrost probability and adjustment for rocky/non rocky coast. The erosion rates depend on geological permafrost temperature, probability (PEX); ice content (ACDD) and marine parameters (SST, SWH, wave period). ACDD has the required variables to calculated organic carbon, nitrate and phosphate fluxes from erosion rates. The erosion model uses inputs from the coupled ocean-sea ice-waves model and land permafrost model and allows simulating permafrost erosion rates and fluxes of the terrigeneous matter, including fluxes of carbon, nutrients and contaminants. |

| Impact | The pan-Arctic model of the coastal permafrost erosion model can provide data on erosion rates for the current and future climate states and leads to the improved simulations of the marine biogeochemistry by accounting for the input of the land biogeochemical fluxes and land contaminants into the marine environment. The model provides coastal permafrost retreat data which allows assessing risks for the shore stability, shore settlements, on-shore structures and installations and can help coastal infrastructure development planning and climate impacts mitigation. The model can used for the ice barrier erosion assessments in the Antarctica. |

| Impact | It produces timeseries and spatial maps of the loads and maps safety areas for marine operations, including ships navigation and fixed off-shore structures exploitation. The model allows assessments of the combined navigational and structural integrity risks of the fixed and floating off-shore installations from sea ice drift and compressions, ocean waves, currents and tides regionally and globally in all the seasons, as for the present day conditions, as well as for the future climates. This is essential for the marine safety planning and forecasting. |

| Title | Partially coupled global Forced model configuration NEMOv3.6-CICE5-ECWAM |
| Description | A partially coupled global ocean-sea ice-waves model has been developed by Drs Lucia Hosekova, Yevgeny Aksenov and Stefanie Rynders (NOC) for the model configuration NEMOv3.6-CICE5-WIM-ECWAM. The model has a fully interactive sea ice-wave model component - the Waves in Ice Module (WIM) which accounts for the process of the sea ice break up by waves, wave attenuation and propagation inside sea ice cover, wave-induced ocean mixing and melting of broken ice floes. The CICE5 model features a combined collisional-pack ice rheology, Elastic-Viscous-Plastic-Collisional rheology (EVPC) also developed and implemented by Drs Stefanie Rynders and Yevgeny Aksenov from the theoretical and analytical development by Feltham (2005), with several updates, including numerical solver for sea ice kinetic energy (granular temperature) evolution, and wave surge pressure. CICE5-WIM module simulates prognostic parameters of the sea ice floe sizes distribution, while using semi-empirical power law reconstruction of the floe sizes distribution after wave break up. CICE5-WIM modelling component is fully coupled to the ocean model NEMO and the whole modelling system is forced with the atmospheric re-analysis DFS5 and the wave fields from ECMWF wave model WAM (ECWAM). The partially coupled model has been configured and tested for the decadal integrations at 1 deg. and 1/4 deg. horizontal resolution (NEMO model grid). |

| Impact | The results improve mixed layer depth simulations in the global models, providing ways to improve physical and biogeochemical model biases in the present climate model runs. The results feed in the NERC projects LTSM ORCHESTRA/ENCORE, "Towards the Marginal Arctic Sea Ice", PREMelt and LTSS CLASS and in inform the NEMO-SI3 model development strategy. The model improves predictions of the ocean and sea state in the ice covered areas, with applications for climate, forecasting, off-shore safety and marine industries by providing additional and more accurate information on the sea state in the ice-covered oceans, ice drift and dynamical ice stresses, ice fragmentation and floe sizes and the state of the upper ocean and mixed layer. The model development improved mixed layer depth simulations in the global models, providing ways to improve physical and biogeochemical model biases in the present climate model runs. The model is not more computationally expensive to run than conventional NEMO-CICE model, opening a way for the multi-decadal present and future climate simulations. The results feed in the NERC projects LTSM ORCHESTRA/ENCORE, "Towards the Marginal Arctic Sea Ice", PREMelt and LTSS CLASS and in inform the NEMO-SI3 model development strategy. |

| Title | 16S rRNA gene V6 sequence data from station L4 in the Western English Channel, 2003 - 2008 |
| Description | Surface samples were collected between January 2003 and December 2008. For DNA analysis 5 L of seawater was filtered through a 0.22-µm pore Sterivex GP filter (Millipore) and stored at -80°C. Prokaryotic 16S rRNA gene fragments were amplified targeting the V6 region (68 bp) of the 16S rRNA gene with the with the bacterial forward 967F and reverse 1046R primer sets (Sogin et al., 2006). Barcode incorporation, library generation and 454-pyrosequencing using the GS-flx platform and LR70 kit was performed according to the method described by Huber and colleagues (2007) at the ICoMM Initiative laboratory at Woods Hole. Detailed protocols regarding sampling, extraction, amplification, and sequencing protocols are described by Gilbert et al. (2009). ASV tables were rarefied to the lowest sampling depth which was 2916 reads. The raw .fna sequence data are available at the NCBI under accession numbers SRA009436 but lack matching .qual files. We have therefore now uploaded the original non-rarefied OTU-sequence table to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) along with the relevant metadata. These data are available under the doi doi:10.5285/caeb879f-776a-2757-e053-6c86abc0efbb |

| Title | A first approach to decipher the megabenthic trophic network in the Angolan cold-water coral mounds through stable isotope analysis |
| Description | The characterisation of trophic nets in the deep-sea is challenging due to the remoteness and the logistic constraints to reach and sample these habitats. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope (d13C and d15N) analysis has proven to be a useful tool in identifying trophic relationships. The benthic trophic network of the fauna in the recently discovered Angolan cold-water coral (CWC) mounds is being investigated through carbon and nitrogen isotopic characterization. Samples were collected in 2016 during the M122 ("ANNA") expedition on board the R/V METEOR. Organisms belonging to different functional groups of Porifera, Cnidaria, Mollusca, Annelida, Bryozoa, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata, as well as potential food sources (suspended particulate organic matter and organic matter of sediments) were analysed. The main aims of the study are: (1) to describe the megabenthic trophic guilds of the Angolan CWC mounds, (2) to estimate the total number of trophic levels, and (3) to compare this unexplored area with previous results from other CWC dominated communities. Our first results show that particulate organic matter presented a marine signature (d13C from -20 to -25‰ V.P.D.B.). However, the analysed CWC species seem to prefer a diet which combined a mix of detrital and resuspended organic matter (d13C from -15 to -20‰ V.P.D.B.), similar to what has been observed for Antarctic gorgonians and other CWC habitats. Porifera presented the highest d15N ratios (20.19±1.81‰). We hypothesise this could be due to the assimilation of bacterioplankton as a food source which has been already documented for Porifera. |

| Title | Broadscale Landscape Mapping Provides Insight into the Commonwealth of Dominica and Surrounding Islands Offshore Environment |
| Description | A lack of data hinders effective marine management strategies for developing island states. This is a particularly acute problem for the Commonwealth of Dominica. Here we use publicly available remote sensing and model data to map their relatively unstudied waters. Two study areas were selected; a smaller area focussing on the nearshore marine environment, and a larger area to capture broader spatial patterns and context. Three broadscale landscape maps were created, using geophysical and oceanographic data to classify the marine environment based on its abiotic characteristics. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on each area, followed by K-means clustering. The larger area PCA revealed three eigenvalues > 1, and one eigenvalue of 0.980. Therefore, two maps were created for this area, to assess the significance of including the fourth principal component (PC). We demonstrate that including too many PCs could lead to an increase in the confusion index of final output maps. Overall, the marine landscape maps were used to assess the spatial characteristics of the benthic environment and to identify priority areas for future high-resolution study. Through defining and analysing existing conditions and highlighting important natural areas in the Dominican waters, these study results can be incorporated into the Marine Spatial Planning process |

| Title | Coupling MEDUSA with ERSEM benthic modules |
| Description | Incorporation of MEDUSA in FABM framework led to certain degree of modularisation of its code, which allowed to test coupling of its pelagic component with ERSEM benthic modules. The coupled configuration was tested in a global NEMO-FABM-MEDUSA setup (ORCA2). The benefit of coupling is that the lightweight of MEDUSA code suitable for global simulations is combined with considerably more detailed than the default benthic zone description from ERSEM, which will benefit future simulations at a higher resolution and allow better estimates of contribution of shallow areas within the Earth system. Configuration file for MEDUSA (pelagic)-ERSEM (benthic) system is available on PML gitlab server. |

| Title | DY103 Cruise Report, RRS Discovery, PAP (Hartman) |
| Description | To study the oceanic water column and the underlying seabed change, on a variety of temporal and spatial scales. The objective of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained observatory is to provide high temporal resolution (hours) of an increasing number of variables which are relevant from the perspective of the biology, physics and chemistry over a relatively small spatial scale (30 km). The site has been under examination since 1985 and during that time, substantial changes have been observed in the benthic environment. The intention is to sustain and enhance these observations in order that a deeper understanding is obtained of the processes which operate; in particular the responses to the changes which are currently taking place in the global environment. The objective of the cruise was primarily to service the infrastructure required for continuous sustained observation, and to put these into context using observations from the ship which as yet cannot be carried out autonomously. In parallel to maintaining and extending exisiting measurements, the over view was enhanced by parallel research into the abundance and distribution of seafloor life in relation to incoming food flux. These investigations were carried out using a multi-instrument observational approach combined with direct sampling. The cruise achieved sampling of the abyssal plain seabed and its fauna via coring, trawling, and baited traps, and left in place a time-lapse camera system for extended (1-year) seafloor observation. In addition, we deployed an ADCP and sediment trap mooring in a central branch of Whittard Canyon on behalf of a partner NOC NERC-funded CLASS project component (NOC lead Drs V. Huvenne & M. Clare). |

| Title | DY108 (DY109) Cruise Report- RRS Discovery, Darwin Mounds (Huvenne) |
| Description | The cruise discussed in this document is a combination of three expeditions with largely related aims: the CLASS programme, (Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science) NERC's Long-Term Single Sector programme for marine research. The project aims to increase our understanding of how the ocean will evolve under a changing climate and increased human exploitation, with the objective to support sustainable marine management. More specifically, the work during DY108-109 consisted of the re-survey of the Darwin Mounds Marine Protected Area, The Darwin Mounds are small (~75m across, max 5 m high) cold-water coral mounds that were protected from bottom contact fisheries in 2003. The mounds were initially discovered in 1998, and further surveys took place in 2000 and 2011. The aim of the expedition was to identify and quantify any potential changes to the habitats and benthic communities in the area over the last 20 years. On our way out to the Darwin Mounds, we also aimed to pick up a lander from the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), and deploy a replacement system. This work is also part of the CLASS programme, and fits into the long-term oceanographic monitoring of the so-called "Ellet Line". Unfortunately neither the pick-up or deployment were successful. BioCAM: This cruise demonstrated technology currently being developed under the NERC OCEANIDS program (BioCam NE/P020887/1: 2017~2021) to generate wide area (~100ha) 3D visual reconstructions (imagery and seafloor topography) from which the distribution of live coral can be determined. The survey was performed using the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Autosub6000 equipped with the 3D visual mapping instrument "SeaXerocks 4" (NE/P020887/1). This takes downward looking stereo imagery and laser bathymetry of the seafloor from an altitude of ~6m. Two full coverage mosaics of ~25ha were collected during this expedition. BLT-Recipes project: BLT Recipes seeks to test an emergent new paradigm of ocean mixing, whereby deep-ocean upwelling is primarily driven by bottom boundary layer turbulence instead of by breaking internal waves in the ocean interior - as has been held over the last four decades. The deep-ocean basin in which the experiment will be conducted is the Rockall Trough (RT), in the Northeast Atlantic. The sea-going activities for this project are mainly planned from summer 2020 onwards, but during DY108-109 two 24h yoyo CTD deployments were carried out to provide important background information for cruise planning. |

| Title | DY110 Cruise Report, RRS Discovery, AMT29 (Dall'Olmo) |
| Description | The overall aim of the Atlantic Meridional Transect programme is: to quantify key biogeochemical and ecosystem processes and their inherent variability over extended time and spatial scales in the Atlantic Ocean. This is achieved by executing an annually repeated meridional transect through contrasting oceanic provinces, ranging from oligotrophic deserts, to highly productive shelf seas. The specific objectives of AMT are: - To quantify the nature and causes of ecological and biogeochemical variability in planktonic ecosystems; - To quantify the effects of this variability on nutrient cycling, on biogenic export and on air-sea exchange of climate active gases; - To construct multi-decadal, multidisciplinary ocean time-series which are integrated within a wider "Pole-to-pole" observatory concept; - To provide essential sea-truth validation for current and next generation satellite missions; - To provide essential data for global ecosystem model development and validation; - To provide a valuable, highly sought after and unique training arena for the next generation of UK and International oceanographers. |

| Title | DY116- RRS Discovery PAP-SO, Whittard Canyon (A.Gates) |
| Description | The aim of the RRS Discovery cruise 116 (DY116) to the PAP-SO was to service moorings at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory (PAP-SO) and Whittard Canyon following the postponement of the cruise earlier in 2020 owning to the Covid-19 pandemic. The PAP-SO is a component of the UK Research and Innovation National Capability Long-term Single Centre Science Programme, "Climate Linked Atlantic Sector Science" (CLASS). At this open-ocean time-series site in the Northeast Atlantic (49.0°N 16.5°W, 4850 m water depth) studies are made on ocean-atmosphere interactions and pelagic-benthic coupling using a range of mooring systems and direct sampling approaches. Like Smart Bay in Galway, PAP-SO is an EMSO site. A future NERC CLASS cruise will focus on the Whittard Canyon (expected 2021/22, delayed from 2020 by Covid-19) and will have direct participation by an Irish science team (National University of Ireland Galway). Preparation for that work includes a mooring in the eastern branch of Whittard Canyon (Irish EEZ) deployed in 2019 (RRS Discovery Cruise 103, http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/525366/) and replaced on DY116. The specific objectives of DY116 were: Whittard Canyon (Irish EEZ): 1. Recovery of Whittard Canyon mooring (sediment trap, ADCP and CTD sensors) 2. CTD for testing release for new mooring 3. Deployment of replacement sediment trap mooring at Whittard Canyon PAP-SO (International waters): 1. Recovery of sediment trap mooring at PAP-SO 2. Recovery of deep-sea time-lapse camera at PAP-SO 3.

| Title | European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model 19.04 |
| Description | ERSEM is an ecosystem model of marine biogeochemistry and the lower trophic levels of the marine food-web. It is used in a wide variety of projects funded by NERC, Defra, the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service, and the EU Horizons 2020 program, among others. Changes in ERSEM 19.04 New functionality • provide pH on total scale (seawater scale is still supported, but not the default) • new module for fluff (particulate matter at sediment-water interface) • many more diagnostics, sufficient to completely reconstruct C,N,P flows throughout the ecosystem • benthic bacteria now support arbitrary numbers of substrates • first-order temperature-dependent mineralisation of benthic POM (default: off) • configurable critical shear threshold for deposition at bed (default: as before) • no_river_dilution is configurable for all pelagic variables Changed behaviour • apply resuspension to the surface concentration rather than the column total of benthic POM. This prevents excessive resuspension at high bottom shear stress • disabled river dilution of yellow matter (light_iop_ady) Fixes • temperature dependence of air-sea oxygen exchange • bacteria dynamics for sR1 values other than 1 • temperature responses under very low temperatures • various fixes for numerical stability (e.g., rate dampening) • various fixes to prevent NaNs (e.g., avoid 0/0) for very rare combinations of state and environment |

| Title | GOTM-ERSEM implementation in the Laptev sea |
| Description | A new model formulation describing terrigenous DOC (TDOC) dynamics has been implemented in the ERSEM model. Following Anderson et al (2019) TDOC is modelled through 2 state variables, photo-labile and non-photo-labile TDOC. ERSEM+TDOC has been coupled with the General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM) and implemented in the Laptev Sea. The model was run with 3 different TDOC inputs (current TDOC conc., +30% and +50%) to have a preliminary assessment on how increasing TDOC discharge (permafrost melting) might affect marine ecosystem during the productive season (June-September). Year 2012 has been taken as example. |

| Title | International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) Release 3, Individual Observations |
| Description | The International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) is a global ocean marine meteorological and surface ocean dataset. It is formed by merging many national and international data sources that contain measurements and visual observations from ships (merchant, navy, research), moored and drifting buoys, coastal stations, and other marine and near-surface ocean platforms. Each marine report contains individual observations of meteorological and oceanographic variables, such as sea surface and air temperatures, wind, pressure, humidity, and cloudiness. The coverage is global and sampling density varies depending on date and geographic position relative to shipping routes and ocean observing systems.The latest Release 3.0 (R3.0) of ICOADS covers 1662-2014, and is coupled with improved "preliminary" monthly data and product extensions past 2014. R3.0 includes changes designed to enable more effective exchange of information describing data quality between ICOADS, reanalysis centers, data set developers, scientists and the public. These user-driven innovations include the assignment of a unique identifier (UID) to each marine report, to enable tracing of observations, linking with reports and improved data sharing. Other revisions and extensions of the International Maritime Meteorological Archive (IMMA) common data format incorporate new near-surface oceanographic data elements and cloud parameters. Many new input data and metadata sources have been assembled, and updates and improvements to existing data sources, or removal of erroneous data, made. |

| Title | JC165 Cruise Report, RRS James Cook, PAP (Ruhl) |
| Description | The oceanic water column and the underlying seabed change on a variety of temporal and spatial scales. The objective of the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained observatory is to provide high temporal resolution (hours) of an increasing number of variables which are relevant from the perspective of the biology, physics and chemistry over a relatively small spatial scale (30km). The site has been under examination for over 20 years and during that time, substantial changes have been observed in the benthic environment. The intention is to sustain and enhance these observations in order that a deeper understanding is obtained into the processes which operate; in particular the responses to the changes which are currently taking place in the global environment. The objective of the cruise was primarily to service the infrastructure required for continuous sustained observation, and to put these into context using observations from the ship which as yet cannot be carried out autonomously. In parallel to maintaining and extending exisiting measurements, the over view was enhanced by parallel research into the abundance and distribution of seafloor life in relation to incoming food flux and topographic features. These investigations were carried out using a multi instrument observational approach combined with direct sampling. The cruise achieved sampling of the abyssal plain seabed and its fauna via coring, trawling, and baited traps, and left in place a time-lapse camera system for extended (1-year) seafloor observation. |

| Title | JC166 (167) Cruise Report, RRS James Cook, Haig Fras Marine Conservation Zone (Huvenne) |
| Description | JC166-167 combined two sets of activities: the delivery of scientific research funded through the NERC National Capability programme CLASS, and training & equipment trials for the engineers of the MARS group within NOC. The work was carried out in two main research areas west of Cornwall: the Greater Haig Fras Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ), and the Whittard Canyon submarine canyon complex. Both research areas are major study sites within the CLASS programme, and specifically the work at Haig Fras was one of the main deliverables of the programme for 2018. Haig Fras is the only rocky reef on the Celtic Shelf, west of Cornwall. The Greater Haig Fras area was designated an (MCZ) in 2016 to protect this unique site and its mosaic of rock and sedimentary habitats. To demonstrate the use of autonomous survey methods for the monitoring of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and improve our understanding of the natural variability of this mosaic habitat, NOC has set up a series of repeat AUV surveys (multibeam echosounder, sidescan sonar, photography) over the area, with a 3 year cycle. The Whittard Canyon system on the Celtic Margin is a key area to achieve an understanding of the interaction between coastal & shelf waters and the open ocean. The heterogeneous terrain of submarine canyons has a strong influence on oceanographic processes, focusses the transport of sediments, organic matter and nutrients, can create a series of potential geohazards and tends to support an increased diversity in habitats and species. Part of the Whittard Canyon system was declared an MCZ in 2013, protecting, amongst others, both healthy and heavily impacted cold-water coral reefs from further human impacts. The equipment trials and personnel training covered a range of systems, including the ROV Isis, AUV Autosub6000, a wave-glider, a deep glider, the ASV C-worker and a drone. Overall, the aims of the cruise were four-fold: - Re-survey of the Haig Fras site (for the CLASS project) - Training of ROV and AUV engineers - Equipment trials - Acquisition of opportunistic data from Whittard Canyo |

| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2020 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | A hydrographic section across the North Atlantic Ocean at a nominal latitude of 24°N was occupied by the RRS James Cook (cruise identifier: JC191) from 19 January to 1 March, 2020. The ship departed from Port Everglades, USA, completing a total of 135 CTD stations over the Florida Straits, the western basin, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and eastern basin, before ending the cruise in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. The main objectives of the JC191 research expedition was to collect physical-, chemical-, and biological-ocean data with the purpose of estimating heat, freshwater and carbon budgets on low frequency time scales. All CTD stations had measurements from a CTD rosette equipped with temperature, conductivity, pressure, oxygen sensors, in addition to water captured from 24 niskin bottles fired at varying intervals throughout the full depth water column. The water from the niskin bottles was analysed for dissolved oxygen, carbon (DIC/TA), nutrients, and conductivity. Water for methane (CH4), C14, C13, and pigments (filtered) was collected for onshore analysis. The CTD rosette was also equipped with 2 RBR loggers measuring conductivity, temperature and pressure (up to 6,000m), and a lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP) making full depth velocity measurements. The 135 CTD stations include 2 carbon blank stations, and 2 bulk water stations for incubations. In addition to the CTD stations, the RRS James Cook has an underway system, which includes an intake for surface water to be pumped into the water bottle annex and the deck lab; two vessel mounted ADCPs (VMADCPs). A thermosalinograph and a fluorometer, installed in the water bottle annex, continually recorded conductivity, temperature and fluorescence. Water from the CTD was collected to calibrate the ship's underway TSG. The VMADCPs, 75Hz and 150HZ, mounted on the drop keel record ocean velocities in roughly the top 300- and 600-m, respectively. Surface carbon and methane measurements were also recorded from the underway systems, and surface meteorological variables were monitored via the meteorological sampling system and the pumped water underway system. Finally bathymetric data were recorded an EA640 echosounder and a Kongsberg EM122 multibeam, both of which are mounted on the ship's hull. Last, 5 Deep Apex Argo floats measuring conductivity, temperature, pressure and oxygen (except for one float not equipped with an optode) were deployed in the western basin. |

| Title | Micromolar Nutrient concentration profiles from the long term time series at Station E1 in the Western English Channel from 2002 to 2020. |
| Description | Results are reported for the analysis of water samples taken from the E1 long-term sampling station (50° 02.0' N; 04° 22.0' W) situated off Plymouth on the south-west coast of England, United Kingdom. The analyses are reported for Nitrate+Nitrite, Nitrite, Silicate and Phosphate concentrations. The dataset begins in 2002 and runs through till 2020, and the data is an ongoing time series. In the early years the samples were taken and frozen to be batch analysed at a later date. Since 2007 the site visits have been on a more regular almost fortnightly sampling protocol, however due to the more 'offshore' nature of the site there are many sampling weeks lost due to bad weather. There are both filtered and unfiltered sample results. A classical picture is seen of generally summer nutrient depletion and with higher winter concentrations of Nitrate, Silicate and Phosphate. |

| Impact | The model integrations show that sea ice concentration, lead positions (and linear kinematic features LKFs), and ice drift divergence are different in all the three rheology options. EAP shows more LKFs than the aEVP with more acute intersection angles, in better agreement with observations. In EAP LKFs change significantly in response to wind forcing variations on sub-daily scales, with aEVP less so. EAP simulations show a large degree of ice anisotropy. Isotropic settings (anisotropy is set constant=0) of EAP show a different pattern of more stepped leads, which also appear in real sea ice. This points out the key role of sea ice anisotropy evolution for realistic simulations. EAP provides a promising alternative for high resolution sea ice modelling, simulating ice plates dynamics impact on ocean eddies. |

| Title | Off-line model to assess combined risks from ocean currents, tides, waves and sea ice for offshore operations in the polar oceans and ice-covered seas |
| Description | Off-line model to calculate critical loads and safety limits to navigate in sea ice has been developed in the framework of the new coupled ocean-sea ice-waves NEMO-CICE-WW3 model by Drs Stefanie Rynders and Yevgeny Aksenov (NOC). The model uses inputs from the coupled ocean-sea ice-waves model and applies newly developed dynamical and static ice loads calculations, along with the safety ice navigation limits for different ship classes and critical loads from combined effects from currents and waves. The model is generic and can use netcdf input from any ocean-sea ice-wave models. The model produces timeseries and spatial maps of the loads and maps safety areas for marine operations, including ships navigation and fixed off-shore structures exploitation. |

This is essential for the marine safety planning and forecasting. |

| Title | Off-line pan-Arctic model of the coastal permafrost erosion |
| Description | Off-line pan-Arctic model of the coastal permafrost erosion has been developed in the framework of the new coupled ocean-sea ice-waves NEMO-CICE-WW3 model. The erosion model uses inputs from the coupled ocean-sea ice-waves model and land permafrost model and allows simulating permafrost erosion rates and fluxes of the terrigeneous matter, including fluxes of carbon, nutrients and contaminants. The developed model follows closely Wight's model (Barnhart 2014) and calculates coastal erosion due to wave action and sea level change anomalies, with added permafrost probability and adjustment for rocky/non rocky coast. The erosion rates depend on geological permafrost temperature, probability (PEX); ice content (ACDD) and marine parameters (SST, SWH, wave period). ACDD has the required variables to calculated organic carbon, nitrate and phosphate fluxes from erosion rates. |

| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | Arctic coastal erosion is an increasing problem via threat to infrastructure, also it affects the marine environment. Arctic coast is mainly soft sediment permafrost. Sea ice protection is decreasing, leading to increased erosion from waves and melting. The pan-Arctic model of the coastal permafrost erosion model leads to the improved simulations of the marine biogeochemistry by accounting for the input of the land biogeochemical fluxes and land contaminants into the marine environment. The model offers quantitative assessments of the future erosion trends, informing mitigation scenarios of the coastal structure integrity and settlements safety. The model can be used to assess melting and collapse of the ice barrier from the waves in the Antarctica and sea level rise. |

| Title | Wave-sea ice-ocean global model NEMOv3.6-CICE5-WIM-ECWAM |
| Description | A partially coupled global ocean-sea ice-waves model has been developed by Drs Lucia Hosekova, Yevgeny Aksenov and Stefanie Rynders (NOC) for the model configuration NEMOv3.6-CICE5-WIM-ECWAM. The model has a fully interactive sea ice-wave model component - the Waves in Ice Module (WIM) which accounts for the process of the sea ice break up by waves, wave attenuation and propagation inside sea ice cover, wave-induced ocean mixing and melting of broken ice floes. The CICE5 model features a combined collisional-pack ice rheology, Elastic-Viscous-Plastic-Collisional rheology (EVPC) also developed and implemented by Drs Stefanie Rynders and Yevgeny Aksenov from the theoretical and analytical development by Feltham (2005), with several updates, including numerical solver for sea ice kinetic energy (granular temperature) evolution, and wave surge pressure. CICE5-WIM module simulates prognostic parameters of the sea ice floe sizes distribution, while using semi-empirical power law reconstruction of the floe sizes distribution after wave break up. CICE5-WIM modelling component is fully coupled to the ocean model NEMO and the whole modelling system is forced with the atmospheric re-analysis DFS5 and the wave fields from ECMWF wave model WAM (ECWAM). The partially coupled model has been configured and tested for the decadal integrations at 1 deg. and 1/4 deg. horizontal resolution (NEMO model grid).

| Impact | The model improves predictions of the ocean and sea state in the ice covered areas, with applications for climate, forecasting, off-shore safety and marine industries by providing additional and more accurate information on the sea state in the ice-covered oceans, ice drift and dynamical ice stresses, ice fragmentation and floe sizes and the state of the upper ocean and mixed layer. The model development improved mixed layer depth simulations in the global models, providing ways to improve physical and biogeochemical model biases in the present climate model runs. The model is not more computationally expensive to run than conventional NEMO-CICE model, opening a way for the multi-decadal present and future climate simulations. The results feed in the NERC projects LTSM ORCHESTRA/ENCORE, "Towards the Marginal Arctic Sea Ice", PREMelt and LTSS CLASS and in inform the NEMO-SI3 model development strategy. |

| Title | Western Channel Observatory (L4) nutrient concentration profiles (2000 - 2018) |
| Description | Results are reported for the analysis of water samples taken from the L4 long-term sampling station (50 15.0'N; 04 13.0'W) situated off the southwest coast of England, United Kingdom. The analyses are reported for Nitrate+Nitrite, Nitrite, Silicate and Phosphate concentrations, for samples that are both filtered and unfiltered. The dataset begins in 2000 and runs through to 2018. Since 2007 the site visits have been on a more regular almost weekly sampling protocol. A classical picture is seen of generally summer nutrient depletion and with higher winter concentrations of Nitrate, Silicate and Phosphate, however particularly in wet summers like 2012 there is a big influence of the River Tamar and spikes of high nutrient loads are seen being introduced into this nearshore sampling site. |

| Title | Western Channel Observatory: L4 and E1 Microbial methanol uptake rates, virus numbers & diversity of xoxF5 genes. |
| Description | A one-year time-series was conducted with the objectives of (i) characterising the seasonal variability in microbial methanol uptake rates throughout the water column, and (ii) determine whether any relationships exist with virus abundances, biogeochemical parameters and/or bacterial groups. Sampling was carried out between August 2017 and September 2018, with water samples used to determine the microbial methanol uptake (dissimilation and assimilation) and bacterial production rates. Additionally, samples were taken to investigate the virus abundances, bacterial abundances and DNA was extracted from 0.2 µm filters to investigate the taxonomic diversity of the 16S rRNA (V4 Region) and xoxF5 genes at surface and bottom depths. Samples from L4 were taken from different depths (2 m, 10 m, 25 m and 50 m), but assimilation was only determined at surface and 50 m depth. Similarly, at E1, water samples for uptake rates and virus abundances were determined at the surface and 60 m. |

| Title | Zooplankton abundance time series from net hauls at site L4 off Plymouth, UK between 1988-2019. |
| Description | Ongoing zooplankton research at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory has established a time series of zooplankton species since 1988 at L4, a coastal station off Plymouth, UK. Weekly samples are collected by vertical net hauls (WP2 net, mesh 200 µm; UNESCO 1968) from the sea floor (approximately 50 m) to the surface and stored in 4% buffered formalin. Results presented are n/m3 mean values from two replicate hauls made on each sampling timepoint. Some of the zooplankton analysis has been to the level of "major taxonomic groups" only, and a number of different analysts have participated over the years. The level of expertise has generally been consistent, but the user should be aware that levels of taxonomic discrimination may vary during the course of the data-set, please see metadata table for more information on this and the description document regarding complexities of the dataset. It is encouraged that users of the data maintain contact with originators of the dataset to prevent misuse or misunderstanding of the data provided due to the complex nature and temporal coverage of the data provided. |

| Title | ensemble of coupled physics-biogeochemistry simulations of the NW European shelf, for the period 1980-2100 |
| Description | we produced a mini-ensemble (three members) of coupled physics-biogeochemistry simulations for the North-Western European shelf domain, covering the period 1980-2100. The ensemble members were all forced with data from the same earth system model (GFDL-ESM2G, developed by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of NOAA), share the same physics, but differ in the configuration of the ERSEM biogeochemical model. Namely the three versions of ERSEM used are the regular one complete with four phytoplankton and three zooplankton functional types and variable stoichiometry, NPZD (just one phyto- and one zooplankton group) and Fixes Stoichiometry (all plankton functional types but fixed stoichiometry within them). |

| Title | two-member ensemble of physics-biogeochemistry simulations of the north-western european shelf |
| Description | We run a two members ensemble of regional coupled physics-biogechemistry simlations of the North-Western European Shelf for the period 1990-2100. The simu lations were produced with coupled NEMO (ocean physics) and ERSEM (biogeochemistry) models at an horizontal resolution of circa 7km and discreized in 51 v ertical depth levels (sigma cohordinates). The setup of the two models is identical but the external forcings are from two different Earth System Models: IPSL-CM5A-MR (developed by the CLimate Modelling Centre of the The Institut Pierre Simon Laplace) and GFDL-ESM2G (developed by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of NOAA). |

Since then, we have setup a wiki and SVN repository for sharing common tools related to FVCOM and model implementations to foster collaborations and enhance our understanding of the model's capabilities. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The partners have contributed with intellectual inputs and shared experiences. |
| Impact | The partnership is mostly focused on the use of FVCOM and associated models (wave, sediment and ecosystem models) and provides a platform for exchange of ideas and experiences. As such, this is a multidisciplinary collaboration involving physical oceanography, ecology and ecosystem modelling and numerical methods. We have produced a Wiki (web based how-to manual) where the partners exchange their experiences and solutions to common problems in detail. Improvements to the code and/or analysis tools are also documented here. We also host an SVN repository (version control software) of the FVCOM code together with each partner's updates to the code. The exchange of information has enabled a more robust and consistent approach to implementations of FVCOM in different regions of the UK. |

| PI Contribution | Under the Joint Weather and Climate Research Programme (JWCRP) between NERC and the Met Office, we have forged a strong strategic partnership with the Met Office. This takes the form of the Joint Marine Modelling Project (JMMP; formerly JOMP; the Joint Ocean Modelling Programme and JCOMP; the Joint Coastal Ocean Modelling Programme). JMMP comprises staff from both NOC (from the Marine Systems Modelling group) and the Met Office and enables the best possible versions of the NEMO global and coastal-ocean models to be taken up into predictive systems at the Met Office (for ocean forecasting, coupled weather forecasting, seasonal prediction, decadal prediction, and climate and earth system modelling). Successive versions of NEMO are developed internationally on a regular cycle and have a number of new options. The benefit of these options are assessed both individually and in various combinations through undertaking decadal timescale simulations on MONSooN, a supercomputer facility shared between NERC and the Met Office, and identical in architecture to the main Met Office supercomputer. Once the optimal combination of options has been ascertained, the NEMO model can then be rapidly and easily taken up into the predictive systems at the Met Office. The cycle is repeated approximately every 1-2 years. The shelf seas activities, specifically support the models run operationally in the shelf sea forecasting and reanalysis system at the Met Office and delivered by the European Copernicus Marine Environmental Monitoring Service. Alongside JMMP, the National Partnership for Ocean Prediction (formally known as the National Centre for Ocean Forecasting) aims to develop and promote the application of world-leading marine products and services to stakeholders, with a focus on national and public benefit. This is achieved firstly through the integration of models, observations and scientific understanding to produce the best information and advice about the marine environment, with rigorous quality assurance and traceability; and secondly through engaging with stakeholders to understand their requirements and to maximise the beneficial use of marine products and services. |

| Title | A NEMO regional model of the Bay of Bengal and East Arabian Sea (BoBEAS) |
| Description | Model Summary: This configuration has been specifically set up for the NEMO community ocean model, using a variant of v3.6. The model grid has a 2.2 km horizontal resolution and 75 hybrid sigma-z-partial-step vertical levels. The domain covers 3.5°N to 26.58°N, 65°E to 101.9°E. The configuration was set up to use ERA5 forcing, FES2014 tides, open ocean boundary conditions from the Met Office global 1/12° ocean data product, available through the COPERNICUS Marine Environment monitoring Service (https://marine.copernicus.eu). Model Setup Process: The objective here is to document the process for setting up the configuration, rather than automating the process. This is because some data, e.g. the bathymetry is not publicly available. |

This configuration has a resolution of 1/36 degree and is a cut-out of the global 1/36 configuration: https://github.com/immerse-project/ORCA36-demonstrator. The code base is a pre-4.2.0 NEMO version, the model source code can be found in the file src_tar. Model setup Follow the instructions on https://sites.nemo-ocean.io/user-guide/index.html to download and install the NEMO model version 4.2.0. Swap the src directory for the one in the tar file src_tar. Compile the ORCA2_SAS_ICE reference configuration. Put the rest of the files in this zenodo archive in the EXP00 directory, except the namelist_cfg_for_DOMAINcfg file which goes into tools/DOMAINcfg along with the grid files to be downloaded later. The files provided include example configuration namelist files namelist_cfg and namelist_ice_cfg. The atmospheric forcing used is the Drakkar forcing set (DFS) version 5.2, year 2008. The atmospheric forcing is interpolated on-the-fly, using the weights files. The weights were calculated using the nemo WEIGHTS tool. For the ocean (bottom) boundary the World Ocean Atlas 2018 multidecadal monthly averages are used. The data is already interpolated onto the ARC36 grid. Interpolation was done using the SOSIE tool. Files provided are monthly averages of sea surface salinity and temperature. Finally, the model grid domain_cfg.nc needs to be created. Download the ORCA36 files from ftp://ftp.mercator-ocean.fr/download/users/cbricaud/BENCH-ORCA36-INPUT.tar.gz, see the ORCA36 demonstrator github page. The necessary files are the coordinates and bathymetry files. To cut out the Arctic domain use ncks -F -d y,7000,,1 in.nc out.nc. Put in tools/DOMAINcfg and use the DOMAINcfg NEMO tool to create the domain_cfg.nc file using the file namelist_cfg_for_DOMAINcfg as namelist_cfg. The resulting file is large (122GB) therefore executing in parallel mode is required. The individual processor files need to be merged into one, use the REBUILD_NEMO tool.

| Title | FABM-spectral |
| Description | FABM implementation of the Ocean-Atmosphere Spectral Irradiance Model (OASIM), which simulates the propagation of spectrally resolved direct and diffuse irradiance in atmosphere and oceans. The spectral range of the model is configurable and can include any wavelength between 200 and 4000 nm. Thus it can include total shortwave, ultraviolet, and photosynthetically active radiation, among others. This implementation is designed for online coupling to hydrodynamic-biogeochemical models through FABM. Both atmosphere and ocean components run online as part of the coupled simulation and are directly forced by bulk meteorological properties. The modelled underwater irradiance can drive biogeochemical processes and, in turn, biogeochemical variables can affect (spectrally resolved) light absorption and scattering. The model also calculates light absorption per water layer, which can be fed back to the physical model as a heating term. |

| Title | Forced-partially coupled model configuration NEMOv3.6-CICE5-ECWAM |
| Description | A partially coupled global ocean-sea ice-waves model has been developed by Drs Lucia Hosekova, Yevgeny Aksenov and Stefanie Rynders (NOC) for the model configuration NEMOv3.6-CICE5-WIM-ECWAM. The model has a fully interactive sea ice-wave model component - the Waves in Ice Module (WIM) which accounts for the process of the sea ice break up by waves, wave attenuation and propagation inside sea ice cover, wave-induced ocean mixing and melting of broken ice floes. The CICE5 model features a combined collisional-pack ice rheology, Elastic-Viscous-Plastic-Collisional rheology (EVPC) also developed and implemented by Drs Stefanie Rynders and Yevgeny Aksenov from the theoretical and analytical development by Feltham (2005), with several updates, including numerical solver for sea ice kinetic energy (granular temperature) evolution, and wave surge pressure. CICE5-WIM module simulates prognostic parameters of the sea ice floe sizes distribution, while using semi-empirical power law reconstruction of the floe sizes distribution after wave break up. CICE5-WIM modelling component is fully coupled to the ocean model NEMO and the whole modelling system is forced with the atmospheric re-analysis DFS5 and the wave fields from ECMWF wave model WAM (ECWAM). The partially coupled model has been configured and tested for the decadal integrations at 1 deg. and 1/4 deg. horizontal resolution (NEMO model grid). |

| Impact | The results improve mixed layer depth simulations in the global models, providing ways to improve physical and biogeochemical model biases in the present climate model runs. The results feed in the NERC projects LTSM ORCHESTRA/ENCORE, "Towards the Marginal Arctic Sea Ice", PREMelt and LTSS CLASS and in inform the NEMO-SI3 model development strategy. The model improves predictions of the ocean and sea state in the ice covered areas, with applications for climate, forecasting, off-shore safety and marine industries by providing additional and more accurate information on the sea state in the ice-covered oceans, ice drift and dynamical ice stresses, ice fragmentation and floe sizes and the state of the upper ocean and mixed layer. The model is not more computationally expensive to run than conventional NEMO-CICE model, opening a way for the multi-decadal present and future climate simulations. The results feed in the NERC projects LTSM ORCHESTRA/ENCORE, "Towards the Marginal Arctic Sea Ice", PREMelt and LTSS CLASS and in inform the NEMO-SI3 model development strategy. |

Office and NERC centres (NCAS, CEH), we demonstrated outputs from our models and discussed these with members of the public over the 3 days of the event (I attended for 2 of these). The event included a schools day, and we were able to engage with students from late-primary to secondary ages, including a large number of students selecting either subjects to study at school or subjects to pursue in tertiary education. Engagement with visitors was often lengthy, involving discussion and questions. During this, it was common to be able to educate and persuade visitors. Separately, traffic to the UKESM website (our primary online point-of-contact) was approximately double normal rates during the event. |

| Results and Impact | Almost 150 people from across the globe took part in an online conference to celebrate 90 years of world-class science. Marine Biological Association (MBA) is home to The Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey, the longest running and most geographically extensive marine survey in the world. Now in its 90th year, the Survey has helped shape scientific understanding about the health of our ocean, and how marine life is changing in response to pressures like climate change. September 15, 2021, marked the 90th anniversary of the first CPR tow, and to celebrate this milestone anniversary, the MBA hosted a free online conference to share the highlights and achievements of the CPR Survey from over the last 9 decades. The conference, which featured talks and live Q+A sessions with experts from around the world, delved into the secrets and successes of the Survey, explored themes such as impacts and applications of CPR data, global coverage of monitoring, and the exciting future of the CPR Survey. Speakers and guests tuned in from many countries across the world, including New Zealand, South Africa, the United States of America, France and the UK. David Johns, head of the CPR Survey said: "I wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended the CPR conference. It was an excellent showcase of the amazing, innovative science behind the CPR Survey, which has been providing invaluable data from the base of the marine food-web for many decades. With the centenary of the CPR in just ten years time, we're looking forward to expanding the possibilities of the survey even further." To mark the occasion, a special CPR cake, featuring an edible model of the SS Albatross - the first merchant vessel to tow a CPR, a 3D CPR unit and intricate plankton details was presented at a VIP celebration. The MBA also honoured those who contributed greatly to the CPR survey with exclusive prints of CPR artwork, especially created by artist Debbie Mason. Started in 1931 as a means of predicting where the best fishing grounds would be, the Survey has gone on to cover more than 7 million nautical miles of ocean, earning itself a Guinness World Record, and is today widely regarded as one of the most important long-term marine monitoring programmes in the world. The success of this extensive monitoring programme is in large part due to the long-term support of the international shipping community. Every month, mechanical sampling instruments, known as Continuous Plankton Recorders (CPRs), are sent out to a navy of volunteer ships as they criss-cross the North Sea and North Atlantic. From passenger ferries, to cargo ships, the captains and crew tow CPRs behind their ships as they ply their normal trade routes. |

| Results and Impact | With the world's oceans under increasing pressure from acidification, warming, habitat destruction, pollution and unsustainable fishing practices, the topic of marine protection has been a prominent environmental focus in 2018. Through support of the World Environment Day #BeatPlasticPollution campaign, widespread popularity for BBC documentary, Blue Planet II, and emerging new policy on sustainable fisheries, awareness and attention to marine issues is rapidly increasing. Our next edition of the environmental SCIENTIST, Deeper than Plastic: Issues for the marine environment, will be published in November 2018, exploring potential threats and opportunities for marine environments, as well as new science methodologies and innovative technologies that may reverse current negative impacts on the oceans. To continue this debate, we are hosting a discussion meeting to address and explore the key themes raised by the journal in greater depth. This event welcomes presentations from a breadth of eminent speakers in marine science, followed by a collaborative and friendly group discussion, diving into the heart of key issues. There will be ample opportunity to network with attendees and speakers before and after the meeting. |

| Results and Impact | I issued the first of a planned bi-annual, marine-focused newsletter titled "Submarine Cable Protection and the Environment." The publication is a new and timely reference for all seabed users, the science community, and the general public who share the same vital goal as the ICPC- safeguarding submarine telecommunications and power cables worldwide. Exclusive to ICPC Members only, access to an historical archive of more than 200 issues of an "Environment Update" publication are available on-demand, but now the "Submarine Cable Protection and the Environment" publication is being made available twice a year to the industry and public. ICPC General Manager Mr Ryan Wopschall stated, "Having Mike's expertise on staff truly benefits the ICPC and its Members, but we also acknowledge his thorough research can benefit the broader submarine cable industry, other marine users and stakeholders, and the wider public. Mike has written articles that not only get readers to think about the importance of the marine environment in our local daily lives, but also provides insights into the sustainability and resiliency of global submarine cable infrastructure and its critical role in our world today." As of Nov 2020 this had been downloaded >1,100 times. |

| Results and Impact | The NOC annual science open day is open to the general public, with typically 500+ people of all ages and interests visiting the centre. The modelling exhibition uses electronic displays, latterly interactive ones, to illustrate the properties of the ocean - physical and biological - that are the focus of our work. This allows us to talk to individual visitors or groups on general topics around ocean physics (circulation, seawater properties) and marine biology (productivity, nutrients), and on high-interest contemporary topics such as climate change and ocean acidification (including how these will affect general ocean properties). Ongoing Arctic change and wider Earth system science are particular focuses. Our open day presentations aim to (a) introduce general oceanographic concepts (as illustrated by models), (b) introduce and explain the role of modelling in oceanography and Earth science, (c) entrain and inform school pupils and undergraduate students about careers and career paths in oceanography. |

| Results and Impact | We invited local stakeholders interested in coastal risks to hear about tools based on the forecast sea conditions from the operational model of the Plymouth estuarine and coastal area; these included: • Predictions of pollution accumulation risk areas: this tool has already been developed for the Plymouth Sound area. It identifies hotspots where marine litter and pollution may accumulate at sea at any given time. This information could inform, for example, Environment Agency testing schedules, clean-up operations, recreational activities and much more. • Search and Rescue: Developed by our Irish partners (Marine Institute), this tool can predict where lost people or equipment would likely end up given the entry point into the water and predicted sea conditions. This could inform search and rescue operations by the RNLI, recovery of equipment, craft etc. • Predictions of Oil Spill movements: this tool enables coastal authorities to trace oil spill pollution to aid management, mitigation and clean-up measures. There was interest in further conversations around all the tools by council planners and water industry |

| Results and Impact | Since 2010, "I'm A Scientist, Get Me Out Of Here" has run an annual fortnight of online outreach events in which school students from around the UK chat with scientists. During lockdown across the UK in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, an expanded programme of "I'm A Scientist, Stay At Home" took place between May-July 2020. The format for these events was primarily online chat sessions - sometimes themed, sometimes completely open - in which students and scientists were brought together to pose and answer questions. In addition, the website hosts "Ask A Scientist", allowing questions to be posted for everyone in the community to answer. Andrew Yool (NOC, Southampton) joined the coding, environment and "Summer 2020" zones of the event, and took part in a number of chatroom sessions. In these, around 10-15 scientists interacted with up to 30 students, answering questions on their specialisms (in this case marine biogeochemistry, Arctic science and computer modelling), as well as questions on why people became scientists, what it's like to be a scientist day-to-day, and how students can make science their career. This activity was written up for the UKESM newsletter, https://ukesm.ac.uk/ukesm-newsletter-no-11-july-2020/. |
