Looking for easy data access to high quality time-series data? – SPOTS is out!

Whether we aim to disentangle anthropogenic driven trends from naturally variability or we want to assess and improve our ocean model’s capabilities to correctly display changes in time, all require high-quality observational data from multiple fixed time-series data. Until now access to these data w…

One Ocean Science Congress - Call for abstracts

Tuesday, 01 October 2024

We are happy to share that the call for abstracts for the One Ocean Science Congress is now open until 14 November 2024, 13:00 CET. The One Ocean Science Congress (OOSC), organised by CNRS and IFREMER, will be held in Nice, France, from 4 to 6 June 2025. It is a UN Special Event serving as the scientific foundation of the Third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3).

SOCONET joins the Global Ocean Observing System as an emerging network

Thursday, 22 August 2024

We are excited to let you know that the Surface Ocean CO₂ Observing Network (SOCONET) alongside the Fishing Vessel Observing Network (FVON) and Science Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications (SMART) Subsea Cables became a Global Ocean Observing System emerging network. Find out more on these 3 new additions from an article published on the GOOS website.

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.

Upcoming IOCCP Events
