  1. Argo and GODAE OceanView P.Y. Le Traon from D. Roemmich OSTST presentation GODAE OceanView – November 16, 2011

  2. Argo and GOV (1) Argo challenge and priority 1 : complete and sustain the global array. • Still a challenge. • Need convincing cases from GOV (and others) on the use and utility of the array. GOV OSEVal TT results should be regularly communicated to Argo project office. • Improvements in float technology are providing increases in float lifetime, better data quality, much higher vertical resolution in profiles, and better near-surface data (GOV needs ?). GODAE OceanView – November 16, 2011

  3. Argo and GOV (2) Argo challenge and priority 2 : preparing the next decade of the Argo mission (biogeochemistry, deep ocean, seasonal ice, marginal seas, sampling, etc). • What are the GOV requirements ? • OSE/OSSEs works from GOV teams much needed but they require careful framing and interpretation • (joint GOV/Argo works) GODAE OceanView – November 16, 2011

  4. Southern Ocean OSSEs Andreas Schiller Researchers need information about the design of the future Southern Ocean Observing system (CLIVAR/CliC/SCAR Southern Ocean Region Implementation Panel) • Proposed foci (Steve Rintoul), in order of priority: • divergence of heat and fresh water fluxes as f(x,t) • ventilation rates (density fluxes) in Southern Ocean • how frequently (where and when) to measure under ice; • seasonal-to-interannual variability (when, where, how frequently)
