The Ocean Thematic Centre exists to help the ICOS Ocean Observing Community deliver the data we need to quantify the oceans role in planetary C cycling

Joined March 2014
Heres a quick summary of the services we offer ICOS Ocean Stations. Please get in touch with queries and we'll be happy to help

Members of our team were in Geneva for the @WMO Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Symposium this week. Well done to all from @ICOS_RI who played a part to bring together diverse communities, to support an information stream, in support of managing climate change.

Day 2 of the @WMO #ghg symposium and we are getting more operational; how can we implement a global planetary C cycle observing system. Here's Andy Watson from @ExeterMarine, @TosteTanhua from @GOOSocean and Maciej Telszewski from @ioccp_org discussing this issue in the Ocean

Certified reference materials (CRMs) for seawater CO2 measurements are crucial for Ocean Carbon uptake and and OA research. Ensuring global security of supply is a key priority for our community. Heres @toebki from @ICOS_RI discussing ways forward at #OAWeek2021

Less than 50 days to go: on June, 28 we start the first @OTCCO2 pCO2 inter-comparison at MSO @jmesvliz. For 2 weeks we will compare 18 different pCO2 instruments under controlled conditions: otc.icos-cp.eu/node/144. Follow #pco2compare for more updates.

Interested in Ocean C uptake? Running a station in European Waters and need help with standards, data or training? We may be able to help - come to our townhall at 11 am at @EGU #EGU2021 to find out how twe support the @ICOS_RI Marine network
Its not too late to register for this important event this afternoon jpi-oceans.eu/events
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of presenting our programme to the Ferrybox community at this event: eurogoos.eu/events/10th-fe…. You should be ale to catch the talk and slides on the website soon.
This week we have the Monitoring Station Assembly - looking forward to meeting the @ICOS_RI marine stations and talking through the 2021 work programme with them

We have a good supply of bottles and are also buying regulators. All you pay for is the freight. If you are using a membrane sensor and don't require these standards then our membrane sensor support scheme could be for you Contact us for further details

There is a flowchart linked from otc.icos-cp.eu/node/171 which explains the process. There are 4 basic steps 1. Contact the CAL lab 2. Provide list of concentrations you need 3, Bottles are send to you 4. You send the empty bottles back

We are excited to announce that @ICOS_RI Gas Standards are now available for the Ocean Network. This will ensure compatibility of of the ICOS observations with other global monitoring networks, Calibration is done using a set of WMO laboratory standards otc.icos-cp.eu/node/171
