  • Since 2014, Fabien R. is leading the development of the MEOP-CTD database. The data from animal-borne instruments are stored in the MEOP-CTD database, which is publicly accessible through the MEOP data portal http://meop.net. The database currently contains 500,000+ profiles, 85% of which are freely available. The database comprises profiles of temperature and salinity as a function of pressure, located in space and time.
  • Contribution to the development of the IOC-UNESCO TEOS-10 (Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater – 2010) standard, through the development of accurate polynomial expressions for the equation of state of seawater that are now distributed on http://www.teos-10.org.
  • Contributions to the development of the widely-used state-of-the-art ocean model NEMO (Nucleus of European Model for the Ocean) regarding the thermodynamic and vertical mixing modules of the code.
