    DATA

    TRICUSO key visual: a research vessel and a racing ship are crossing the letter C representing ocean carbon observation, leaving blue wakes behind and dropping argo floats after themselves for said observations.

    DATA SYNTHESIS

    Expanding the capacity of observation in the Southern Ocean will produce new pCO2 measurements from multiple sources and platforms, including floats and racing yachts. Data synthesis activities are crucial to determine the optimal way in which measurements from these novel platforms can be integrated into the observing system, to create trusted data products for the wider community.

    TRICUSO will conduct observing simulation (OSSEs) and novel data syntheses to establish the workflow needed to transfer data from sailing yachts and Argo floats to the ICOS Carbon Portal, and a workflow to merge sparse datasets from surface ships within GO-SHIP to the ICOS Carbon Portal. We will also establish the methodology to process real-time data and archive wind data from Argo floats and transfer these to the Argo Data Centre.

    Data from TRICUSO will be fully accessible to European data end points, including the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and Copernicus, as well as being available to the global community according to FAIR data principles. We will consult with the existing GO-SHIP data publishers (e.g., GLODAP) to develop protocols for sharing portions of their corpus with other projects whose interests overlap (for example, sharing surface pCO2 measurements with the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT)). Such protocols will be written with a framework to facilitate future efforts with similarly aligned projects.

    “Greenhouse gases are a long term challenge in the Earth system. And key to its management will be reliable information streams open to everybody so that we can collectively interrogate the data and figure out solutions.”
