Workshop
Summary Abstract: The goals for this workshop were to understand potential
sources of error and differences in ocean pCO2 systems, to develop guidelines
for improving the systems and measurement practices, to reach agreements
on data and metadata formats and data exchange practices, and to discuss
ways in which we could begin to connect existing activities into a coordinated
global network capable of producing high-quality, global data sets of
pCO2 and air-sea flux of CO2. While much of the workshop focused on technical
issues, it also addressed the need to go beyond simply connecting existing
activities through common practices and to develop an international implementation
strategy for a global network of observations. The results of the workshop
(discussed in detail below) include:
- A technical
report of the intercomparison experiment, to be published by CDIAC,
entitled "The International Indoor Seawater Pool pCO2 Intercomparison
- Results and recommended practices". A more concise version of
the report may be developed for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
- The development
of an IOCCP recommendation for metadata and data formats
- Agreements
on data center coordination and data management
- Agreements
on public data release and a system of acknowledgement for data use
- Agreements
on the coordination of data integration, synthesis, and modeling activities
- Plans
for the development of an implementation strategy for a coordinated
global network of surface pCO2 observations.
