Summary

The Surface Ocean CO2 NETwork (SOCONET) and Marine Boundary Layer (MBL) CO2 measurements from ships and buoys focus on the operational aspects of measurements of CO2 in both the ocean surface and atmospheric marine boundary layers. The focus is on providing accurate pCO2 data to within 2 micro atmosphere (µatm) for surface ocean and 0.2 parts per million (ppm) for MBL measurements following rigorous best practices, calibration and intercomparison procedures. Platforms and data will be tracked in near real-time and final quality-controlled data will be provided to the community within a year. The network involving partners worldwide will enable production of important products such as maps of monthly resolved surface ocean CO2 and air-sea CO2 flux measurements. These products and other deri
