| Abstract |
Participatory science is not, as perhaps is believed, something of the 21st century. In this paper we show that over a century ago it were not only scientists who collected oceanographic data but also merchant sailors. Good examples of such globally collected data are Forel-Ule observations, from which the first date back to 1889. This hardly explored (NOAA) dataset, containing around 228,000 of so-called ocean colour observations, was recently analysed for trends. Some of the material here presented refers to a recent publication [Wernand et al., 1913]. |
