π The 2nd BGC-Argo DMQC Workshop is underway at @imev-mer.fr !
The workshop brings together ~60 participants and aims to foster capacity building for BGC-Argo data management in a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere.
Thanks to @euro-argo.eu for his financial support.

Huge thank you and congratulations to Jon Turton as he retires from the UK Met Office!
His dedication and hard work on the UK Argo programme for over 25 years have been truly remarkable. His commitment and expertise have made a great contribution to the global Argo array.
Day 3 of the #ADMT26 meeting at @whoi.edu is in full swing!
We dove deep into critical updates from the #BGC Argo mission, covering #OneArgo sensor frameworks for new sensors and mission parameters, documentation and procedures updates, and a review of the #BGC Argo products!
