1 4 nd Bio Argo Workshop November , Bermuda Introduction

2 Between ADMT 15 to ADMT 16 some milestones AST 16 Brest Bio Argo Task Team: terms of reference accepted Move towards global implementation of Bio Argo = > implication for Data Management SCOR WG 142 : O2: clear recommendations GAIC: GO SHIP / Argo IOCCP

3 Bio Argo Task Team: term of references Within the Argo program, the Bio Argo task team acts as a scientific committee of Bio Argo national representatives, which provide recommendation and guidance for the progressive development and implementation of a Bio Argo program. More specifically, its terms of reference are to: Develop and update the Bio Argo science plan with respect to regional pilot projects and to a global network. Coordinate the implementation plan, in particular to optimize the various national efforts. Interact with other task teams (e.g. marginal Seas, polar areas ) to prepare and coordinate the possible implementation of a Bio Argo component to these new developments of Argo. Elaborate good practice recommendations with respect to float and sensor preparation, calibration, deployments and associated in situ simultaneous measurements. Provide advice regarding new variables in the BIO Argo data stream, in particular based on an evaluation of the degree of readiness of their sensors. In close interaction with ADMT coordinate and organize the Bio Argo data management. Establish and /or strengthen interactions and exchanges with international programs (IMBER, SOLAS) or group of experts (IOCCP, IOCCG), Establish and develop interactions with the operational oceanography community (e.g. Marine Ecosystem Analysis and prediction task team of GODAE OceanView)
