GO-BGC webinar February 15

GO-BGC Webinar #4, February 15
Observing Mesoscale and Sub-Mesoscale Processes with BGC Argo

Please join us for the quarterly GO-BGC webinar, hosted by the US Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Project Office. This webinar will be focused on using BGC-Argo float data to investigate chemical and biological processes in the ocean that are influenced by eddies, meanders, and other mesoscale and sub-mesoscale processes. The webinar will begin with an update on the status of the GO-BGC float array, followed by two short presentations. We’ll then close with a community discussion about recommended practices, challenges, and future perspectives of using BGC-Argo measurements to enhance our understanding of how mesoscale processes shape patterns of biogeochemistry in marine environments. Recordings will be available on the OCB and GO-BGC websites.

Agenda for February 15, 10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern

Yui Takeshita (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, USA)
An update on the GO-BGC program

Lily Dove (California Institute of Technology, USA)
Topic: Using Argo floats and Seagliders to examine the effects of sub-mesoscale processes on Southern Ocean ventilation
Title: Investigating Ventilation at the Submesoscale in the Southern Ocean

Shuangling Chen (Second Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Hangzhou, China)
Topic: Using BGC Argo floats to examine episodic subduction patches associated with mesoscale eddies in the western North Pacific
Title: Episodic oxygen injections observed from BGC-Argo

Discussion
