2nd International Workshop to Develop an Ocean Acidification Observing Network of Ship Surveys, Moorings, Floats and Gliders St. Andrews, Scotland, UK
Introduction and Background With support from the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project; the UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme (co-funded by NERC, Defra, and DECC); the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program; the Global Ocean Observing System; the Integrated Ocean Observing System; the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre of the International Atomic Agency; the UK Science & Innovation Network (co-funded by FCO and BIS); the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO; the University of Washington; and others, this international workshop will continue to build and document an integrated global observing network for both carbon and ocean acidification that addresses the requirements of nations affected by this emerging environmental problem in response to societal needs.
Interactive Map of Ocean Acidification Platforms
Building on the existing global oceanic carbon observatory network of repeat hydrographic surveys, time-series stations, floats and glider observations, and volunteer observing ships, the interactive GOA-ON map offers the best information available on the current inventory of global OA observing platforms. This is a strong foundation of observations of the carbonate chemistry needed to understand chemical changes resulting from ocean acidification.
