A payment made by the beneficiaries or users of an ecosystem service to the providers of that service. In practice, this may take the form of a series of payments in return for receiving a flow of benefits or ecosystem services. (FAO. 2022. The State of the World’s Forests 2022. Forest pathways for green recovery and building inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies. Rome, FAO.

Note
PES can be used as a benchmark by which policy-makers, investors, NGOs, landowners and local people who benefit from ecosystem services can evaluate their approaches and determine if they are supporting a sustainable model of development.
Coastal structures are structures situated on the coastline or in close proximity to it, and they can comprise everyything from seawalls to coastal bridges to coastal buildings. (https://www.theengineeringcommunity.org/the-main-types-of-coastal-structures/)
An exploration, journey, or voyage undertaken by a group of people especially for discovery and scientific research. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expedition)

Planetary waves are vertically propagating disturbances that are identified by large-scale variations in the pressure, temperature, winds, and composition. (A.K. Smith, J. Perlwitz, in Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences (Second Edition), 2015)
If two or more systems use a common data formats and communication protocols and are capable of communicating with each other, they exhibit syntactic interoperability. XML and SQL are examples of common data formats and protocols. Lower-level data formats also contribute to syntactic interoperability, ensuring that alphabetical characters are stored in a same ASCII or a Unicode format in all the communicating systems.
