Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) Data Protocols | Open Comment Period
The OAE Field Data Protocol is a community-led effort to build a standard practice for managing and sharing data from field research.
With broad adoption, this protocol will make it possible to compare and interpret field research and more quickly advance our understanding of the field.
In collaboration with Submarine Scientific, NOAA and dozens of ocean researchers, we present this draft as a starting point to collect additional comments. Your feedback is invaluable to this protocol and will help finalize important practices that will be incorporated into future grant agreements.
Please submit your comments by Friday, March 7, 2025, after which the comment period will be closed. Feedback will then be summarized, and a revised version will be published.
If you have questions or concerns, please email jacki@submarine.earth.
