We are excited to share with you an important document describing the first operational steps to implement the reference-quality measurements of the Surface Ocean CO2 Observing Network (SOCONET-Tier 1). SOCONET-Tier 1 is the observational cornerstone for surface ocean fCO2w observations to quantify sea-air CO2 fluxes with sustained delivery of reference quality datasets in support of efforts such as the Global Carbon Budget, Global Greenhouse Gas Watch and other assessments and activities.

IOCCP is contributing to the vision for surface CO2 observations in the next decade. You can read about the challenges and recommendations for the SOCONET network and the wider community in an OceanObs'19 Community White Paper led by Rik Wanninkhof, published in July 2019 in Frontiers in Marine Science.
