Since OceanObs'09, the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) has evolved from its traditional focus on ocean's role in global climate. GOOS now also encompasses operational services and marine ecosystem health, open ocean into coastal environments where much of world's population resides. This opened a field opportunity for new collaborations—across regions, communities, technologies—facilitating enhanced engagement observing enterprise to benefit all nations. Enhancement collaboration is...
The deep sea plays a crucial role in the health of Ocean and planet as whole. Yet, essential ecosystem services such carbon sequestration are under threat due to climate change. On top, activities oil gas extraction, fishing, potential new like mining marine dioxide removal may lead habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, disruption critical functions services. Measuring understanding baseline conditions sea, impacts human for informed decision-making sustainable management healthy...
The Ocean plays a critical role in sustaining life on Earth. However, the Ocean’s ability to continue supporting is under threat. We therefore need better understand what happening Ocean, how it connects wider Earth System, and its degradation can be mitigated.Navigating Future VI (NFVI) latest edition of flagship European Marine Board marine science-policy foresight series. NFVI discusses place system. It presents most recent trends highlights needed breakthroughs (natural social) science...
To understand the impact of northwestern Azores Current Front (NW-AzC/AzF) system on HCO3−-and N2-fixation activities and unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacteria (UCYN) distribution, we combined geochemical biological approaches from oligotrophic surface to upper mesopelagic waters. was observed sustain 45–85% HCO3−-fixation in picoplanktonic fraction performing 47% total C-fixation at deep chlorophyll maximum north south AzF. rates as high 10.9 μmol N m-3 d-1 nitrate δ15N low 2.7‰ were found...
Maritime economy, ecosystem-based management and climate change adaptation mitigation raise emerging needs on coastal ocean biological observations. Integrated observing aims at optimizing sampling strategies cost-efficiency, sharing data best practices maximizing the value of observations for multiple purposes. Recently developed cost-effective, near real time technology such as gliders, radars, ferrybox shallow water Argo floats, should be used operationally to generate operational sea...
The EU funded project EuroSea brought together key actors of the European ocean observing and forecasting communities with users products services in order to better integrate existing observation systems tools, improve delivery information users. was constructed around value chain that connects observations information, and, just as intended, concept a useful prism system. In this article, we summarize some main take-home messages from on needs for developing Ocean Observing System its...
