SOCAT v2024 is released with 3.9 million new observations
Wednesday, 19 June 2024
We are thrilled to announce the release of Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) version 2024 which is now available on SOCAT website. Since 2017 there has been a reduction in surface ocean CO2 observations that is impacting our ability to quantify the ocean's role as a major sink for CO2 emissions. The latest update of the community-led Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas, version 2024, has delivered 38.6 million, quality-controlled, in situ surface ocean fCO2 (fugacity of CO2) measurements collected between 1957 and 2023 with an estimated accuracy of < 5 μatm.
We would like to Congratulate and Thank the whole SOCAT team as well as all data providers for their enormous continuous efforts related to annual releases of the product!

Looking for easy data access to high quality time-series data? – SPOTS is out!
Thursday, 23 May 2024
Whether we aim to disentangle anthropogenic driven trends from natural variability or we want to assess and improve our ocean model’s capabilities to correctly display changes in time, all require high-quality observational data from multiple fixed time-series data. Until now access to these data was difficult, time-consuming, and often required solving multiple data challenges before these data were fit for the purpose. Following the successful examples set by well-known ocean synthesis products, the idea for SPOTS – the Synthesis Product for Ocean Time-Series – was born from this need to address these challenges.
Upcoming IOCCP Events
The IOCCP promotes the development of a global network of ocean carbon observations for research through technical coordination and communication services, international agreements on standards and methods, and advocacy and links to the global observing systems. The IOCCP is co-sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. Read more…
