Observing the ocean…

Animal Tagging: Elephant Seals
• Mapping under the sea ice for the first time (complement Argo)

Key messages
• Understanding the ocean is essential to understanding our climate system, and our ability to predict it. – Absorbing most of the excess heat, and a large chunk of the
carbon. – Drives inter-annual variability in the tropics, and decadal variability
at mid-latitudes.
• We are only beginning to see the benefits of a comprehensive subsurface ocean observing system. – Enabled by advances in communications and data services.
