OASIS Face-to-Face Community Workshop
Workshop Overview & Report
Thank you for joining us for a 2-day community workshop before OSM24 in New Orleans, USA!
The United Nations (UN) Ocean Decade programme Observing Air-Sea Interactions Strategy (OASIS) held workshop prior to the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2024 in New Orleans, LA, USA. The first day of the workshop provided a broad overview of all the components that make up OASIS, followed by an open discussion of Grand Idea #1: A Global in situ array – connecting the parts. The second day of the workshop hosted open discussion and breakout groups on Goal #2: Satellite air-sea fluxes and Goal #3: Process studies that feed earth system models. For those who could not make it to the Ocean Sciences Meeting, there was a virtual component to this community workshop.
Workshop recording and report coming soon!
