ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre

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

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

What a week it has been! A memorable get together of the surface #ocean #carbon community @VLIZnews. We have identified challenges and agreed on ways forward.

Day 3 of the 'Workshops on surface pCO₂ observations' is underway. Yesterday was a wonderful day here @ VLIZ. Today our discussions commence on @SOCAT_CO2 @Dorothee_Bakker

Worldwide #OceanCO2 scientists gather at #vliz in #Oostende to review the Surface Ocean Carbon Value Chain, in order to deliver the best required information to policy makers @COP23. #surfCO2oostende @gcarbonproject @SOCAT_CO2 @ICOS_RI @ioccp_org @NOAA #SOCONET #KADI #George

Day 2 of the 'Workshops on surface ocean pCO2 observations' has begun @VLIZnews.

[ICOS RI @ICOS_RI]

The ICOS February newsletter is out! This month, we bring you news about two new projects, KADI and GEORGE, and introduce QuinCe, a new tool developed by @OTCCO2 that helps researchers detect anomalies in their data.

Read the newsletter here: https://t.co/Eefaq7KDre

[ICOS RI @ICOS_RI]

QuinCe (not the fruit) is a data quality control tool developed by ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2 that helps accelerate near real-time data availability.

Get more insights and return of experience from the last Quince workshop helped in Paris https://t.co/nFuSqSjIND

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.

[Richard Sanders @OceanRics]

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

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

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: https://t.co/veKYGs3F3L. Follow #pco2compare for more updates.

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

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

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

Its not too late to register for this important event this afternoon

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of presenting our programme to the Ferrybox community at this event: https://t.co/Euf4pZ8iiu…. You should be ale to catch the talk and slides on the website soon.

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

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

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

We are delighted to announce that our proposal for a townhall at @EuroGeosciences this year has been accepted. Do attend to find details of the services we offer and our plans for this year

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

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

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

There is a flowchart linked from https://t.co/Zpeveo9c4Q 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

[ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre @OTCCO2]

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 https://t.co/jtc2NvCfFC
