This document discusses the importance of global ocean observations and the Argo program. It notes that the ocean is critical for regulating climate and producing oxygen and food, yet is vulnerable to increasing human impacts. The Argo program uses autonomous profiling floats to monitor global ocean temperature, salinity and other variables in real-time. With over 4000 floats, Argo provides an unprecedented dataset but faces challenges maintaining full coverage. The summary calls on countries to increase support for Argo to ensure a complete, multidisciplinary global ocean observing system.

Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to recent studies in coastal oceanic systems.
To start with, Le Traon is introducing this newsletter telling us about the SNOCO initiative.
Scientific articles about recent studies in coastal oceanic systems are then displayed as follows: First, Ménesguen et al. are telling
us about Ulva mass accumulations on Brittany beaches and remedies found to solve this problem. Then, Ardhuin presents his
work about wave hindcasting and forecasting at Previmer within the European project “Integrated Ocean waves for Geophysical
and other Applications”. Third, Faucher et al. provide a description of a coupled Atmosphere-Ocean-Ice forecast system for the
Gulf of St Lawrence in Canada, which has been installed in experimental mode at the Canadian Meteorological Centre. Finally,
Marchesiello et al. are talking about regional ocean forecasting and downscaling strategy at IRD for coastal and submesoscale
phenomena. They have developed a downscaling strategy based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System and produced a new
demonstrator with data assimilation in the Chile oceanic area.
The next October 2010 newsletter will display papers about the Marginal Seas in the MyOcean project.
We wish you a pleasant summer!

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Altered Terrain: Colonial Encroachment and Environmental Changes in Cachar, A...PriyankaKilaniya
The beginning of colonial policy in the area was signaled by the British annexation of the Cachar district in southern Assam in 1832. The region became an alluring investment opportunity for Europeans after British rule over Cachar, especially after the accidental discovery of wild tea in 1855. Within this historical context, this study explores three major stages that characterize the evolution of nature. First, it examines the distribution and growth of tea plantations, examining their size and rate of expansion. The second aspect of the study examines the consequences of land concessions, which led to the initial loss of native forests. Finally, the study investigates the increased strain on forests caused by migrant workers' demands. It also highlights the crucial role that the Forest Department plays in protecting these natural habitats from the invasion of tea planters. This study aims to analyze the intricate relationship between colonialism and the altered landscape of Cachar, Assam, by means of a thorough investigation, shedding light on the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of this historical transformation.

Challenger was one, Meteor another. The very best was in the early to mid
1990s called WOCE – World Ocean Circulation Experiment.
• This was a huge effort, cost a lot of money, and took way too long, we
need to survey the ocean cheaper and much faster.
8. TARA / COP21 Paris, Dec. 2015
History
• 60s: electronic, miniaturisation, … instrumentation
• Before the 80s, most of ocean observations were made via
research vessels (specific regional campaigns, expensive,
seasonal bias, data sequestrated)
• Advent of satellite measurements and in-situ moored/floating
instruments led to enormous improvements in our
understanding of the ocean
• Socioeconomic benefits of global ocean observations were
formally recognized in 1990 (GOOS establishment)
• The joint IOC-WMO commission for oceanography and marine
meteorology was then established in 1999 (JCOMM)

Argo
• Argo makes visible large-scale ocean and climate
features and processes that were once hidden to
scientists.
• The network has enabled new revelations about
ocean dynamics that are helping society
understand and forecast global climate.
• It will continue to take the pulses of the ocean for
many decades
26. TARA / COP21 Paris, Dec. 2015
Argo
• Argo allows the progress of planetary
warming to be tracked in unprecedented
accuracy and in near realtime, due to the
fact that most of the extra heat trapped by
Greenhouse gases on Earth is absorbed into
