07. - 10. October 2024: pCO2 instrument's workshop
Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV), Villefranche-sur-mer, France
| The workshop was organized for ICOS Ocean staff together with the MSA meeting in Villefrance-sur-Mer/France. The workshop consisted of lectures/discussions and hands-on exercises with some instruments (GO pCO2 8050 with LI7815, Contros HydroC FT, Contros HydroFIA TA, Hagan-GENx (VeGAS)). |
06. - 09. November 2023: Workshops on surface ocean pCO2 observations
VLIZ Flanders Marine Institute, Oostende, Belgium
| From 6 till 9 November 2023, over a hundred ocean carbon scientists from around the world met at Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) in Oostende, Belgium, and online to review the status of the Surface Ocean Carbon Value Chain and discussed specific improvements to the structure, process and resulting delivery of critical information. The community has been ready for an update of its mode of operation for a few years and the recently announced, WMO-led Global Greenhouse Gas Watch (GGGW) initiative served as a direct trigger for this important gathering. GGGW, has the ambition to completely transform our collective ability to deliver a fully transparent, vetted global carbon monitoring system allowing countries to better understand and manage the causes of climate change in a timely and efficient manner. For that ambition to be realized, the ocean carbon community is committed to bringing together existing and future observing efforts into a common framework under the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) that can routinely deliver the required information to policy makers. A major outcome of the workshop was the Oostende Declaration, an expression of our collective ambition to completely transform our ability to deliver an integrated global surface ocean carbon monitoring system, helping countries to better understand and manage the causes of climate change in a timely and efficient manner. |

07. - 09. December 2022: Data processing and QuinCe
Sorbonne University, Paris, France
| The goal of the workshop was to learn about data proceesing principles for pCO2 instruments, both equilibrator based and sensors, and go through the process from raw data download to submission-ready datasets (e.g. ICOS Carbon Portal or SOCAT). The workshop was a mixture of short presentations about data processing (including gap filling, interpolating…) and hands on exercises with data sets. We uses QuinCe for data processing and explored the calculations that work in the background. |

02. - 04. November 2020: Data reduction workshop
online
| The goal of the workshop is to learn about data reduction principles for pCO2 instruments, both equilibrator based and sensors, and go through the process from raw data download to submission-ready datasets (e.g. ICOS Carbon Portal or SOCAT). The workshop will be a mixture of presentations about data reduction (including gap filling, interpolating…) and hands on exercises with data sets. We plan to use QuinCe for data reduction and explore the calculations that work in the background. |

25. - 27. November 2019: 2nd ICOS OTC sensor workshop
Kiel, Germany
| The goal of the workshop was to learn about newest developments and get into direct contact with companies who manufacture sensors that are used in the ICOS-Oceans network. This year Pro Oceanus, SubCtech and Sunburst agreed to participate and present/discuss their sensors. |

07. - 09. March 2018: 1st ICOS OTC sensor workshop
Bergen, Norway
| The purpose of this meeting was to discuss experience with, and improvements of, three systems used by ICOS-Oceans stations: the General Oceanics underway pCO2 system, and CONTROS HydroFIA TA and HydroC CO2 systems. |
