This open PICO session welcomes presentations on all aspects of ocean processes and oceanographic techniques that are not covered in specialised sessions, as well as advances due to new instruments and techniques such as gliders and autonomous vehicles. This includes all marine disciplines as well as interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere and/or the cryosphere. Global studies and topics that have global relevance are welcome (i.e. both open ocean and shelf seas). Work focusing on ocean processes might include turbulent mixing, phytoplankton bloom characterisation, or air-sea interactions, for example. Studies about the development of new oceanographic techniques might include robotics, design of numerical models or parameterisations, applications of novel instrumentation, or novel applications of traditional technology. We welcome presentations that evaluate the impact of instrument calibration, metrological traceability, and the use of reference materials on marine science measurements, for example the seawater carbonate system, dissolved inorganic nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and carbon and oxygen isotopes.
