Euro-Argo ERIC scaling up for OneArgo Network Extension

Project description

Expanding Europe’s ocean monitoring network

Oceans play a critical role in regulating Earth’s climate, but gaps in deep and comprehensive monitoring hinder accurate climate projections and ocean health assessments. The OneArgo initiative, a major expansion of the international Argo programme, aims to fill these gaps with a full-depth, multidisciplinary ocean observation network. In this context, the EU-funded Euro-Argo ONE project will advance Europe’s role in this initiative. By scaling up the Euro-Argo ERIC infrastructure, Euro-Argo ONE aligns with OneArgo’s ambitions, enhancing data delivery, environmental impact awareness and product efficacy. With 23 partners, the project is strengthening Europe’s ocean observation capabilities, boosting climate monitoring and adaptation services, and supporting critical policy decisions in the fight against climate change.

Objective

OneArgo is the new global, full-depth and multidisciplinary design of the International Argo Programme, the most prominent global in situ ocean observing network. OneArgo will advance climate change and ocean health research capabilities. Furthermore, by allowing more complete and accurate ocean and climate projections, OneArgo will strengthen the potential of operational users to deliver services for the monitoring, adaptation and mitigation of climate change, including at policy level.
The Euro-Argo ONE project will allow Euro-Argo ERIC, the legal and organisational framework supporting and coordinating the European contribution to the Argo programme, to align with the OneArgo ambition. Its overarching objective is scale-up Euro-Argo ERIC’s capabilities, sustainability and resilience to ensure Europe’s ability to take its share of the global OneArgo array implementation.
To this end, the 23 partners of Euro-Argo ONE will:
- Tailor a comprehensive design of OneArgo for its European implementation;
- Escalate Euro-Argo ERIC’s efficacy in delivering OneArgo data and services;
- Address the environmental challenges of OneArgo operations and engage with the supplier industry;
- Improve OneArgo products and services and maximise their impact for operational users and broader scientific communities;
- Consolidate Euro-Argo ERIC leadership and collaborations within the international and European ocean observation landscape; and,
- Demonstrate and promote the value of OneArgo for societal challenges.
Euro-Argo ONE will considerably accelerate the consolidation of Euro-Argo ERIC, thereby allowing the research infrastructure to deliver on its mission to develop a long-term, sustainable European contribution to the OneArgo global ocean monitoring system, to better understand and predict the ocean, its role in the climate system and its health.
