🌊 Lucía Gutiérrez-Loza from #NORCE and @icos-ri.eu Ocean Thematic Centre presented the PAP mission as a test case for interoperable marine carbon observations. The mission combined observations from moorings, autonomous platforms and ships to test how different observing systems can work together.

🌊 Clara Douglas from @euro-argo.eu presented results from a pH-equipped #Argo float deployed at PAP. The float profiled daily and spent more than a month circling an eddy, allowing the team to assess ocean carbon variability at finer temporal scales than the standard 10-day Argo cycle.
