“…The WOD (Garcia et al, 2005(Garcia et al, , 2019, CMEMS (Le Traon et al, 2019), GLODAP (Key et al, 2004;Olsen et al, 2016Olsen et al, , 2020, and EMODnet (Giorgetti et al, 2018) are excellent foundations to support the development of GO 2 DAT. Data collected by Argo, gliders and moorings have their own GDACs, which offers a certain level of consistency in terms of metadata specifications, QC, QF, computation models of sensors response (i.e., from raw data to O 2 value), calibration and adjustment procedures.…”

A Global Ocean Oxygen Database and Atlas for Assessing and Predicting Deoxygenation and Ocean Health in the Open and Coastal Ocean

In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward the building of an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO2DAT) complying with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). GO2DAT will combine data from the coastal and open ocean, as measured by the chemical Winkler titration method or by sensors (e.g., optodes, electrodes) from Eulerian and Lagrangian platforms (e.g., ships, moorings, profiling floats, gliders, ships of opportunities, marine mammals, cabled observatories). GO2DAT will further adopt a community-agreed, fully documented metadata format and a consistent quality control (QC) procedure and quality flagging (QF) system. GO2DAT will serve to support the development of advanced data analysis and biogeochemical models for improving our mapping, understanding and forecasting capabilities for ocean O2 changes and deoxygenation trends. It will offer the opportunity to develop quality-controlled data synthesis products with unprecedented spatial (vertical and horizontal) and temporal (sub-seasonal to multi-decadal) resolution. These products will support model assessment, improvement and evaluation as well as the development of climate and ocean health indicators. They will further support the decision-making processes associated with the emerging blue economy, the conservation of marine resources and their associated ecosystem services and the development of management tools required by a diverse community of users (e.g., environmental agencies, aquaculture, and fishing sectors). A better knowledge base of the spatial and temporal variations of marine O2 will improve our understanding of the ocean O2 budget, and allow better quantification of the Earth’s carbon and heat budgets. With the ever-increasing need to protect and sustainably manage ocean services, GO2DAT will allow scientists to fully harness the increasing volumes of O2 data already delivered by the expanding global ocean observing system and enable smooth incorporation of much higher quantities of data from autonomous platforms in the open ocean and coastal areas into comprehensive data products in the years to come. This paper aims at engaging the community (e.g., scientists, data managers, policy makers, service users) toward the development of GO2DAT within the framework of the UN Global Ocean Oxygen Decade (GOOD) program recently endorsed by IOC-UNESCO. A roadmap toward GO2DAT is proposed highlighting the efforts needed (e.g., in terms of human resources).

“…To implement an overarching process to assure good quality of data (Quality Control/ Quality Assurance-QA/QC, provenance, transparency, full metadata description and allowing reassessing and reprocessing capabilities), it is fundamental that the validation process reports back to the data sources that are the main responsible for the "master" copy of the data and are responsible for updating and providing access to its best copy. Closing the validation loop will ensure quality improvement on the long term (Giorgetti et al, 2018).…”

Cappelletto et al.This paper presents major gaps and challenges for implementing the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021)(2022)(2023)(2024)(2025)(2026)(2027)(2028)(2029)(2030) in the Mediterranean region. The authors make recommendations on the scientific knowledge needs and codesign actions identified during two consultations, part of the Decade preparatory-phase, framing them in the Mediterranean Sea's unique environmental and socio-economic perspectives. According to the 'Mediterranean State of the Environment and Development Report 2020' by the United Nations Environment Programme Mediterranean Action Plan and despite notable progress, the Mediterranean region is not on track to achieve and fully implement the Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030. Key factors are the cumulative effect of multiple human-induced pressures that threaten the ecosystem resources and services in the global change scenario. The basin, identified as a climate change vulnerability hotspot, is exposed to pollution and rising impacts of climate change. This affects mainly the coastal zones, at increasing risk of extreme events and their negative effects of unsustainable management of key economic assets. Transitioning to a sustainable blue economy is the key for the marine environment's health and the nourishment of future generations. This challenging context, offering the opportunity of enhancing the knowledge to define science-based measures as well as narrowing the gaps between the Northen and Southern shores, calls for a joint (re)action. The paper reviews the state of the art of Mediterranean Sea science knowledge, sets of trends, capacity development needs, specific challenges, and recommendations for each Decade's societal outcome. In the conclusions, the proposal for a Mediterranean regional programme in the framework of the Ocean Decade is addressed. The core objective relies on integrating and improving the existing ocean-knowledge, Ocean Literacy, and ocean observing capacities building on international cooperation to reach the "Mediterranean Sea that we want".

“…In Europe, the consolidated EU initiative EMODnet (European Marine Observation and Data Network) is an important reference (Martín Míguez et al, 2019) for in situ measurements. EMODnet Chemistry, in particular, constitutes the spatial data infrastructure in charge of providing access to marine chemical (eutrophication, ocean acidification, contaminants and marine litter) data (Giorgetti et al, 2018). EMODnet Chemistry relies on SeaDataNet standards, established through a Pan-European infrastructure for ocean and marine data management (Schaap and Maudire, 2009), and adopts FAIR principles to guide the whole data management approach.…”
