Global Intercomparability in a Changing Ocean: An International Time‐Series Methods Workshop

(Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry (OCB) Program and International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP), 2013-11)

Ocean time-series represent one of the most valuable tools scientists have to characterize and quantify ocean carbon fluxes and biogeochemical processes and their links to changing climate. In order to acquire a more thorough understanding of natural cycles and human-driven changes in the global oceans, it is important that time-series methodologies (sampling and analytical protocols) be transparent and consistent. This workshop provided an opportunity to convene representatives from global marine biogeochemical time-series sites to review current methodologies being used at the sites, with the aim of standardizing sampling and analytical protocols for key biogeochemical parameters being measured across sites.
