OceanSITES is a global network of long-term reference stations that collect and deliver high-quality data from fixed locations in the open ocean, providing a comprehensive view of the ocean's surface and water column. These observatories measure various variables, including meteorology, physical oceanography, biogeochemistry, and parameters relevant to the carbon cycle, ocean acidification, and the ecosystem. With a focus on multidisciplinary data collection, OceanSITES plays a crucial role in the global ocean observing system, offering accurate reference data and a long-time baseline for understanding the behavior of the ocean. Through automated systems and advanced sensors, the network provides high time resolution observations, often in real-time, enabling the study of interlinked variables from the seafloor to the atmosphere.Generated from the website
