The BGC-Argo & 3rd Deep-Argo Workshop will be organized virtually on 27 September-1 October 2021, as part of the EuroSea project.

The objectives of the Deep-Argo workshop are to assess progress of the Deep-Argo mission (from scientific use of Deep Argo data to technological ability of floats and sensors), to review end-users' needs, and to finalize the implementation plan of the global Deep Argo array of 1250 floats. One question that remains open is the implementation of oxygen sensors on Deep-Argo floats; scientific motivation, required accuracy and stability, and oxygen sensor readiness and cost will be discussed.

During a joint BGC-Deep Argo session, participants will discuss the implementation of oxygen sensors on Deep-Argo floats, scientific motivation, required accuracy and stability, and oxygen sensor readiness and cost, as well as the interactions between Argo and other networks and observing programs (DOOS, GO-SHIP, Oceansites, Gliders).

Make sure to register here by 20th September, 2021.
