Monitor the future ocean: Applications of OneArgo in science and operational models.
Monitor the future ocean: Applications of OneArgo in science and operational models.
Session ID#: 255959
Session Description:
Argo is one of the Global Ocean Observing System components, initiated in the late 90s in the context of GODAE (the Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment) and CLIVAR (Climate and Ocean: Variability, Predictability and Change) to provide in situ measurements of temperature and salinity in the upper 2000m of the global ice-free ocean. OneArgo is the ongoing extension of the original Argo array into seasonal ice zones (Polar Argo), marginal seas, deeper waters (DeepArgo) and biogeochemical parameters (BGC-Argo). The aim is to achieve the full implementation of this new ambitious global, full-depth and multidisciplinary OneArgo array by the end of the UN Ocean Decade (2030).
Applications of the new capabilities of OneArgo cover observational studies making use of the provided data in physical and biogeochemical ocean monitoring and process-oriented analyses. Applications in forecasting and reanalysis systems will be the other focus of the session, due to the long-lasting and strong connections of Argo with ocean prediction. These will also cover design studies such as results from Observing System Experiments and Observing System Simulation Experiments.
