The Global Greenhouse Gas Watch enters its Implementation and Pre-operational Phase
Wednesday, 17 July 2024
We are thrilled to let you know that the Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W) Implementation Plan has been endorsed!
Thanks to the excellent work of the Joint Study Group on WMO Greenhouse Gas Monitoring (SG-GHG), the G3W Implementation Plan has been approved by INFCOM-3 (the WMO Technical Commission for Infrastructure) in April 2024, and by EC-78 (the Executive Council of WMO) in June 2024. We all owe a big Thank You to Adrienne Sutton (IOCCP SSG, NOAA, US) and Richard Sanders (IOCCP SSG, NORCE, Norway) for leading the writing of the Implementation Plan for the surface ocean CO2 (SOCONET and SOCAT). Other (SOCONET & SOCAT) contributors to the IP are Dorothee Bakker, Kevin O’Brien, Thanos Gkritzalis, Tobias Steinhoff, Bronte Tilbrook, Ronnie Noonan-Birch and Maciej Telszewski.

SOCAT v2024 is released with 3.9 million new observations
Wednesday, 19 June 2024
We are thrilled to announce the release of Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) version 2024 which is now available on SOCAT website. Since 2017 there has been a reduction in surface ocean CO2 observations that is impacting our ability to quantify the ocean's role as a major sink for CO2 emissions. The latest update of the community-led Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas, version 2024, has delivered 38.6 million, quality-controlled, in situ surface ocean fCO2 (fugacity of CO2) measurements collected between 1957 and 2023 with an estimated accuracy of < 5 μatm.
We would like to Congratulate and Thank the whole SOCAT team as well as all data providers for their enormous continuous efforts related to annual releases of the product!
