Project Abstract
This survey seeks to provide Irish data to the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) Working Group on Oceanic Hydrography (WGOH). The WG provides expertise on physical oceanography, particularly on climate and variability in the ICES region and stimulates ICES involvement in international climate-monitoring programmes. The annual ICES Report on Ocean Climate produced by the WG summarises oceanic variability from year to year in the North Atlantic. The value of long time-series has been clearly demonstrated by the ICES Report on Ocean Climate (IROC). The WGOH also provide advice and support to other expert groups who require information on oceanic hydrography as well as�expert knowledge and guidance to the ICES Data Centre. Irish dedicated oceanographic surveys are an important contribution to this effort with a decade worth of data already collected for waters to the west of Ireland in the Rockall Trough; an important ICES region.
