A National Science Foundation Mid-Scale Research Infrastructure Project
GO-BGC
The Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array is a global robotic network of profiling floats carrying chemical and biological sensors that will revolutionize our understanding of ocean biogeochemical cycles, carbon uptake, acidification, deoxygenation, and ecosystem health.
Data
Data from floats and ships, and tutorials on using the data
Array Status
Array map and status table, current and future deployments

COP28: Observing the Changing Ocean
GO-BGC's Dr. Lynne Talley presented at COP 28. The ocean takes up more than 90% of the extra heat and 30% of the excess carbon dioxide produced by human activity that is exacerbating climate change. As a consequence, marine oxygen levels are dropping and marine...
COP28: A heated case for sustained ocean observations
GO-BGC's Dr. Lynne Talley presents at COP28. Marine heatwaves are a significant ecological and socioeconomic threat, worldwide, and have been increasing in both duration and frequency, a trend that is likely to continue. Though heatwaves at the sea surface can be...
GO-BGC featured in IIOE-2 Newsletter
GO-BGC featured in the 2nd International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) Newsletter The Indian Ocean has been one of the least sampled ocean basins in the BGC-Argo Array. Over the past year 25 biogeochemical (BGC) profiling floats have been deployed in the Indian...
Revolutionizing our understanding of the ocean
Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, the University of Washington, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Princeton University will use this grant to build and deploy 500 robotic ocean-monitoring floats around the globe as part of NSF’s Mid-scale Research Infrastructure-2 program
