Dear Colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract for our session on carbon cycle sensors at the 2012 Ocean Science Meeting:
009: AUTONOMOUS OCEAN CARBON CYCLE SENSORS: NEW TECHNOLOGY, DEPLOYMENT STRATEGIES AND DATA ANALYSIS
Organizers: Mike DeGrandpre, University of Montana,
michael.degrandpre@umontana.edu; Todd Martz, Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, trmartz@ucsd.edu
Our methods for studying the oceans are constantly evolving, driven by the need to improve sensitivity, measurement frequency, and spatial coverage, and to achieve these objectives at lower cost. Autonomous sensor technology has advanced rapidly in the past decade in response to these demands. This session focuses specifically on new autonomous carbon cycle sensors, recent studies that have used these sensors, and descriptions of deployment strategies. Analysis of data from in situ, autonomous shipboard or remote, e.g. satellite, measurements of any carbon-related parameters are welcomed. We also encourage abstracts that discuss strategies to most effectively utilize existing (e.g. Argo) and future (e.g. Ocean Observatory Initiative) autonomous platforms.
For more details see http://www.sgmeet.com/osm2012/special_sessions04.asp.   Abstracts are due Oct. 7.
Best regards,
Mike DeGrandpre
