The Argo Program: Observing the Global Ocean with Profiling Floats [PDF]

Oceanography, 2009
The Argo Program has created the first global array for observing the subsurface ocean. Argo arose from a compelling scientific need for climate-relevant ocean data; it was made possible by technology development and implemented through international ...

Evolving the Physical Global Ocean Observing System for Research and Application Services Through International Coordination

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Climate change and variability are major societal challenges, and the ocean is an integral part of this complex and variable system. Key to the understanding of the ocean’s role in the Earth’s climate system is the study of ocean and sea-ice physical ...

Connecting Ocean Observations with Prediction

Ocean prediction: present status and state of the art (OPSR)
Abstract. Ocean prediction relies on the integration between models, satellite and in-situ observations through data assimilation techniques. Satellites offer nowadays high-resolution observations of essential ocean variables at the surface, widely adopted in combination with precise but sparse in-situ measurements that, from the surface to the deep ...

On the Observability of Oceanic Gyres [PDF]

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2014
AbstractThis study examines the observability of a stratified ocean in a square flat basin on a midlatitude beta plane. Here, “observability” means the ability to establish, in a finite interval of time, the time-dependent ocean state given density observations over the same interval and with no regard for errors.

The Southern Ocean Observing System [PDF]

Oceanography, 2012
The Southern Ocean includes the only latitude band where the ocean circles the earth unobstructed by continental boundaries. This accident of geography has profound consequences for global ocean circulation, biogeochemical cycles, and climate.

Ocean Observations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Our Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, and thus various ocean engineering projects have been undertaken to utilize these vast resources effectively [...]

Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS): Rationale and Strategy for Sustained Observations of the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Proceedings of OceanObs'09: Sustained Ocean Observations and Information for Society, 2010
By connecting the ocean basins and the upper and lower limbs of the ocean overturning circulation, the Southern Ocean plays a critical role in the global ocean circulation, biogeochemical cycles and climate. Limited observations suggest the Southern Ocean is changing: the region is warming more rapidly than the global ocean average; salinity ...
