1OISO is the Océan Indien Service d'Observations. The following organizations are partners in the project:
OISO is a long term project, started in January 1998, for observing oceanic and atmospheric carbon dioxide and related properties in the western and southern Indian Ocean. It studies dissolved oceanic CO2 concentrations and the exchange of CO2 between the ocean and the atmosphere, and how those exchanges and concentrations are changing with time. The project complements data obtained in similar projects by other teams in the Atlantic, Pacific and eastern Indian sectors.
2BOMEX was the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological EXperiment. It was conducted from 1 May to 28 July 1969 as a joint project of seven US departments and agencies and Barbados. Its primary objective was to measure the exchanges of heat, moisture and momentum between the tropical ocean and atmosphere in a trade wind regime.
3The MINERVE (Mesures à l'INterface Eau-aiR de la Variabilité des Echanges de CO2) program operates in the southern ocean. Its goal is to measure oceanic CO2 and the exchanges of CO2 between the atmosphere and the ocean.
