Title: Advancing Ocean Carbon Science: OOI SUGR Meeting on Data Quality and Best Practices
Date: Sunday, December 8th
Time: 11am – 2pm ET
Description: We are holding a Scientific User Group for Research (SUGR) meeting prior to the AGU meeting in Washington, D.C. (December 9-13). The purpose of the SUGR meeting is to hear from our current and potential user community who are using OOI and other data sets to improve our understanding of the Carbon Cycle. In addition to sessions such as OS53D – Advancing our Understanding of Ocean Carbon and the Air-Sea Carbon Flux, this meeting will feature presentations from researchers who use OOI data, sharing their findings and experiences, and a discussion of potential updates to the GOOS-Endorsed Best Practices document. Additionally, we want to hear from attendees about any new sensors that could be added to OOI infrastructure to further enhance biogeochemical research.
This is an excellent opportunity to connect, collaborate, and expand awareness of the valuable contributions of OOI data to carbon cycle research. Registration for AGU is not required to attend the meeting.
Agenda: The meeting will start with brief introductions, followed by three informative 20-minute presentations on topics related to ocean carbon science and data quality. After each of the presentations, there will be open discussions to explore the ideas shared. The next part of the meeting will focus on potential updates to the GOOS-Endorsed Best Practices document, where participants will discuss integrating recent developments and best practices. Finally, a demonstration of data explorer will showcase its application in enhancing data quality assessments and research. The meeting will conclude with a summary and discussion of next steps.
If you are interested in participating, please reach out to Amber Coogan, OOI’s Community Engagement Manager, at amber.coogan@whoi.edu. Please indicate whether you prefer to attend in person or virtually for a three-hour meeting, which will include a lunch break. Boxed lunches will be provided for those attending in person.
