Optimal Ocean Carbon Observing Design Workshop

This workshop will focus on surface ocean pCO₂ design, leveraging the momentum of experiments currently being conducted by the Surface Ocean pCO₂ Mapping intercomparison project (SOCOMv2) and delivering an optimal surface ocean pCO₂ network design requested by WMO Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (G3W). It will also start the scoping process for next steps in interior ocean carbon observing design. This workshop is expected to be the first of two or three gatherings necessary to produce a comprehensive ocean carbon observing design from surface to deep, inclusive of all observing platforms and networks, as requested by GOOS.
