Carbon Implementation Group - Truls Johannessen (ppt 8.5MB) The Open House highlighted the enormous amount of ocean carbon activities currently being carried out by national and regional groups and coordinated through several global framework programs. Participants in the Open House were also particularly interested in knowing about plans for coastal carbon observations, stimulated by the presentation of the NACP / OCCC coastal carbon program. The discussions also highlighted the interest and need for standardization of methods and data management in order to ensure that the results of these programs are comparable.

Beginning in July of this year, the governing bodies of SCOR and IOC approved new terms of reference for the IOCCP, making it a standing project, and endorsing the establishment of a Scientific Steering Group to guide the activities of the IOCCP. On October 1st, the SSG met for the first time to discuss on-going activities of the IOCCP and to discuss priorities for the coming year. Member of the SSG include: Chris
Sabine (Chair) As mentioned at the IOCCP Open House, the IOCCP has no membership and all activities are open to the community for participation. The SSG report is now available on-line. We invite everyone to review the action items and to participate in the development and implementation of activities of interest to you.

GLODAP
Results and Data Published The authors* have decided to publish the current GLODAP dataset to ensure that it is properly documented in the literature. However, GLODAP will continue to improve and expand the dataset for the foreseeable future, continuing with data assembly in collaboration with other programs (e.g., the CARINA data) and including other parameters (Helium / tritium data). They will also make a special effort to include regions with sparse data coverage, including the Arctic and marginal seas. * Chris Sabine, Bob Key, Alex Kozyr, Dick Feely, Rik Wanninkhof, Frank Millero, Tsung-Hung Peng, John Bullister, and Kitack Lee.

EGU 2006 Special Sessions for Ocean Carbon issues We would like to bring to your attention 2 special sessions at the 2006 EGU meeting that may be of interest to many of you. The EGU meeting will be held in Vienna, Austria, 02-07 April 2006. We encourage submissions to this session from a broad geographic, thematic and instrumental range. The absolute abstract deadline is 13 January 2006. 1.

The
IOCCP hosted an "Ocean Carbon Open House" at the International
CO2 Conference on Wednesday evening, September 28. The purpose
of the Open House was to bring together ocean carbon scientists
to share information about major ocean carbon research programs
and to discuss potential collaborations and coordination activities.
The format of the Open House included a 5 minute overview of each
program with a very brief question and answer period, followed
by a 40-45 minute open discussion. About 70 people attended the
session. The presentations made at the Open House are now available
on-line and include:
JAMSTEC,
the IOCCP, and CLIVAR co-hosted an International Repeat Hydrography
Workshop at the Shonan Village Conference Center in Kamakura,
Japan, November 14-16. The workshop brought together 49 participants
from 11 countries, with expertise including ocean carbon and biogeochemistry,
physical hydrography, modeling and data assimilation, and the
Argo program. The workshop reviewed the science framework and
implementation status of post-WOCE hydrography, provided guidance
for a more coordinated system of data and information management,
and established plans to begin data synthesis activities. A web-site
has been developed for the workshop, and provides further details
about workshop objectives and goals, the agenda, and the participant
list. The workshop report is in preparation and will be made available
as soon as possible.

During the 1990s, ocean sampling expeditions were carried out
as part of WOCE, JGOFS, and the Ocean Atmosphere Carbon Exchange
Study (OACES). Most of the cruises included various inorganic
carbon species among the suite of routinely measured parameters.
Both during and after the field work, a group of U.S. scientists
collaborated to synthesize the data into easily usable and readily
available products. This collaboration is known as the Global
Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP)." (GLODAP 2005). The
publication (manual and CD) includes information about the project,
database construction, data evaluation, derived values, gridded
products, lessons learned, and on-going research. Also included
are reprints of relevant publications using the GLODAP data products.
