GO-BGC Webinar: Carbon Export Dynamics

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 carbon export dynamics. 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 carbon export dynamics. Recordings will be available on the OCB and GO-BGC websites.

Webinar agenda:

• Yui Takeshita (MBARI): Introduction and GO-BGC update.
• Ellen Park (WHOI): Quantifying biological carbon pump parameters from the global Biogeochemical Argo float array.
• Adam Stoer (Dalhousie University): Estimating marine phytoplankton biomass and productivity from Biogeochemical-Argo floats.
• Discussion

Webinar recordings will be available on the OCB and GO-BGC websites.
