Objective | OISO (Indian Ocean Observation Service) has been INSU-approved since July 1997 and brings together 3 laboratories of IPSL (Institut Pierre Simon Laplace): LPCM, LODYC and LSCE. The programme aims to study variability of the ocean CO2 cycle and related air-sea exchanges over time and space in subtropical, sub-Antarctic and Southern ocean zones. All cruises (2 per year, one in the Southern summer, the other in winter) are scheduled in the South West Indian Ocean sector, following the repeated courses taken by RV Marion Dufresne II. Cruise participants, from LPCM: Christian Brunet, Olivier Cavirot, Jérôme Guigand, Nicolas Metzl and Bernard Schauer; from IFRTP: Julien Hoffman and Martin Mellet. The related projects are the international IGBP/JGOFS SOLAS programme, European ESCOBA programme and national PROOF/FRAISE, PROOF/ocean color, PNEDC/CLIVAR-austral programmes. |
