Session Description:
Complex interactions of physical and biogeochemical parameters affect marine ecosystems over a variety of scales, highlighting the need to conduct observations at appropriate or relevant spatial and temporal resolution. There is a substantial need to study ocean biogeochemistry dynamics on temporal and spatial scales ranging from seconds/millimeters to decades/thousands of kilometers. The development and deployment of in situ sensor technologies for measurements of biogeochemical parameters have been widely recognized as research priorities in the oceanographic community. As sensor technologies advance, ocean scientists can look at complex issues and questions, traditionally difficult to address. Ocean-observing technologies have made important progress in all disciplines of ocean science. This interdisciplinary session welcomes contributions from sensor users and developers. We look to include sensor technology and sensor network developments, the application and deployment of biogeochemical sensors, the use of low cost components, their associated successes and challenges, and the science achieved with these sensors. The session will include all ocean environments from surface waters to the deep sea, and from coastal systems to open ocean. The goal is to present the status of in situ biogeochemical sensors, new technologies, and their applications. This session is ideal for hardware or software tutorials.
