Four projects to be announced September 9th
On September 9th the OAP will announce the awarding of its recent Observing Optimization for Ocean Acidification funding opportunity. Four new projects awarded in conjunction with NOAA’s Integrated Ocean Observing System, will optimize ocean acidification observing networks and systems around the Nation by evaluating the capability of existing observations to characterize the magnitude and extent of acidification. Alternative regional ocean acidification observing approaches will be explored. Ultimately this work will minimize errors in measurements, better integrate existing observations, and minimize costs of monitoring ocean acidification.
