Underpinning Ocean Knowledge for Societal Benefit: The Urgency to Implement OneArgo by 2030

Convener: Susan Wijffels | Co-convener: Herve Claustre, Toshio Suga

Thu, 05 Jun, 12:45–13:45 (CEST)|Room 1

The global Argo program has demonstrated that mass autonomy can enable highly efficient global and realtime subsurface ocean monitoring. Argo's open data architecture strengthens equity in ocean knowledge and research, and underpins many societally important services. OneArgo is a proposed ambitious expansion of Argo to include the full ocean depth, the polar seas and to monitor ocean chemistry, carbon and plankton parameters. If implemented, OneArgo will enable and improve a large range of new ocean, climate and carbon prediction and knowledge services. We will discuss the present status of the international OneArgo effort, its potential future impacts and a call for action to implement it by 2030.
