The IOCCP promotes the development of a global network of observations for marine biogeochemistry through technical coordination and communication services, international agreements on standards and methods, and advocacy and links to the global ocean observing system. In each of the fields of our interest (left) IOCCP follows the following scheme:

Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas• SOCATv3 released in 9/2015

• Consists of 14.5 million fCO2 data on > 3600 cruises covering the years 1957-2014

• All data is citable using DOIs

• Yearly updates from 2016

• Prominent users: Global Carbon Project (GCP) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

• Data will be available as CDIs by 2015

Framework for Ocean ObservingApproved governance structure

GOOS Steering Committee(Peak Bodies, Sponsors, Observing Panel Chairs,

Observing System leaders)

Observing System Panels(focused on EOVs e.g. Physics, Carbon/Biogeochemistry,

Biology/Ecosystems); Coordination for observing system elements

Technical Advisory Groups(Observing technologies and networks,

Variable focus: data and products, synthesis, link to models)
