G7 FSOI Working Group meeting 2022

The Working Group discussed the ocean-climate climate biodiversity nexus with sessions on progress and new findings related to Digital Twins and new frontiers of ocean observation, as well as the ways and means of expanding the G7 FSOI mandate to include priorities of the G7 Ocean Decade Navigation Plan.

A Global Ocean Biogeochemical Observatory Becomes a Reality

Building on the successful Argo network of seafaring temperature and salinity sensors, work is underway to deploy 1,000 floats equipped to study ocean biogeochemistry in greater detail than ever. Beyond serving needs for basic research and science advances, real-time observations from BGC-Argo will also inform a diverse range of stakeholders and facilitate solutions for sustainable ocean management.
