GO-BGC Science Webinar: Observing Mesoscale and Sub-Mesoscale Processes with BGC Argo

Please join us for the quarterly GO-BGC webinar, hosted by the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Project Office. This webinar will be focused on using BGC-Argo float data to investigate chemical and biological processes in the ocean that are influenced by eddies, meanders, and other mesoscale and sub-mesoscale processes. The webinar will begin with an update on the status of the GO-BGC float array, followed by two short presentations. We’ll then close with a community discussion about recommended practices, challenges, and future perspectives of using BGC-Argo measurements to enhance our understanding of how mesoscale processes shape patterns of biogeochemistry in marine environments. Recordings will be available on the OCB and GO-BGC websites.

Agenda

• An update on the GO-BGC program by Yui Takeshita (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, USA)
• Investigating Ventilation at the Submesoscale in the Southern Ocean by Lily Dove (California Institute of Technology, USA)
• Episodic oxygen injections observed from BGC-Argo by Shuangling Chen (Second Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Hangzhou, China)
• Discussion
