1Ask AST co-chairs to write to IHO with a letter of thanks

2Establish a regular virtual Argo-ForeSea/OceanPredict Forum: The purpose of this new forum is to initially address the problem that the operational and modeling centers (including reanalysis centers) may mis-use Argo data due to a lack of direct and regular information exchange with the Argo community. These centers should be considered as key users of Argo and specific interfaces/information channels should be set up with them. One output could be first ‘What’s new with Argo’ communication on status of Argo data with understanding it will be updated regularly (every 4-6 months)Peter Oke, Pierre-Yves LeTraon, Emily Smith, Susan Wijffels, Yosuki, Annie Wong, Catherine Schmectig, Megan Scanderbeg, Claire Gourcuff ADMT and AST peopleUpdate on how to communicate with operational centers at AST-24

3Ask Mathieu to watch GBON (Global Basic Observing Network) and let us know when Argo needs to prepare Argo service specifications and best practicesMathieu Belbeochwill hear at the meeting

4Ask Mathieu for help to organize a side event with WMO to help champion OneArgo.update at meeting

5Ask EA Rise to report back to AST on Boundary Current studyIngrid

6Ask Tammy Morris to keep AST informed on Western Boundary Current OCG working group. Ask for virtual participation at upcoming (East & West) workshop in early May. Interested in synergies with glider community, piloting in boundary currents.Nathalie Zilberman, Ingrid, Miguel, V. TurpinAnother update at AST-24

7Explore how to create a product that contains only good data on standard depth levels with error bars. Explore how the standard depth level products that Argo points to are created and how Argo might be able to create such a product.Sarah Purkey, Peter Oke, Susan Wijffels, Annie Wong, Claire Gourcuff, Nicolas Kolodziejckconsidered, but no motion yet. Hopeful that regular producers will improve the quality of the data in their collections

8Ask OceanOPS to explore making density coverage plots based on good quality parameters.In progress: https://github.com/OceanOPS/web-dashboard/issues/34
10
9Ask that float deployers please inform OceanOPS upon deployment if ice-detection software is included in the floatnot implemented in statistics yet
11
10Consider adding information to profile files to indicate if a float has detected ice. Ask ADMT to discussPolar Mission Team, ADMTCan open a ticket on AVTT GitHub dashboard. Ask Polar Mission team to consider this. https://github.com/orgs/nvs-vocabs/projects/2?fullscreen=true

11The AST suggests the formation of a Polar Mission team, in a similar manner to the Deep and BGC Argo Mission teams, with terms of reference, and a webpage on AST website. Consider looking for leadership from current SOARC groups and Arctic groups. Nicolas Kolodziejcyk, Alison Gray, Ingrid Angel, Mathieu from takuvik in Canada, Esmee van Wijk, Steve JayneEmail has been circulated to Polar Argo community members to gauge interest in joining.
First tasks will be to meet as a group (virtually) and establish the Terms of Reference

12Revisit list of UN Decade Activities that AST members can collaborate with. M. Scanderbeg, AST membersupdated - no changes

13AST encourages studies of enhanced oxygen sampling in core and/or deep with clear articulation of the cost benefit over current OneArgo design. Being considered in Deep Argo implementation paper.Virginie Thierry, Ken Johnson, Roo Nicolson?, Claire GourcuffIn progress
Should we consider a oxygen design workshop?
15
14Form basin deployment planning teams that meet regularly and report back at each AST and ADMT meeting. These teams need to include people who actually plan deployments. Highest priority is on the western Indian Ocean. Also need to identify one person who will interact with an individual cruise. OceanOPS would like to support this effort and will continue to receive deployment plansBasin leads:
Indian: Tammy Morris, Pattabhi Rama
Pacific: Sarah Purkey, Shigeki Hosoda
Atlantic: Fiona Carse, OceanOPS		Update at AST-24
IHO regularly sends ships to Antarctica
16
15Ask for more clarification on drift sampling and whether radiometer is suggested every hour or once per drift. Explore which float types can sample just the recommended T & P and whether this recommendation can be followed.Float Sampling Working group led by S. Riserreport has been published and will be added to AST website
17
16Investigate further the recommendation from Sampling Working group for floats with radiometers to do an a noon profile every 1-2 months. Explore how this might technically work with floats.Float Sampling Working group to reach out to float type expertsStill need to explore
18
17Follow the recommendations from the Float Sampling Working group to cycle 10+ small amount to randomize the time of day floats arrive at the surfacein progress

18Ask Matheiu Belbeoch to ask IOC to send a new circular letter asking for new national focal pointsno and remove item

19Ask ADMT, Deep, BGC co-chairs to work with V. Turpin to study and improve KPIs on OceanOPS.ADMT co-chairs, Deep co-chairs, BGC co-chairsongoing

20AST suggests another DAC workshop. Suggest Thierry Carval, Tanya Maurer, Claudia Schmid to lead.update at AST-24
Decision at ADMT-23 was to have a series of small DAC workshops on specific topics
22
21AST asks all Deep SOLOs that can be, to be reprogrammed to profile on ascent to accommodate the operational community. Include details from Nathalie about suggested sampling scheme to follow.Being implemented in SIO group; migrating over to MRV
23
22AST thanks the ASD working group for their work and asks that they continue to monitor salty drifters. AST also asks the group to consider making comparisons with CARS more automatic and to reach out to SBE with Argo's analysis of ASDs.B. Kleinupdate at AST-24
24
23AST suggests that the ASD working group meets with Kim Martini and SeaBird in the near future to discuss warranty relief for these floats.ASD, SBEupdate at AST-24
25
24Noting that RBR CTDs post April-2021 can distribute data in real time with good QC flags, the AST strongly encourages National Programs to ramp up the RBR array and gain experience in distributing, correcting and qc’ing the data.In progress - see ADMT update in report
26
25Ask RBR TT & others who are interested to gather together information on suggested float set up, information needed from float for purchasing.RBR TT, Annie Wong, Susan Wijffelsupdate at meeting after Clark's talk

27Contact oceans connectes if you want to share news on your activities, if you want to announce an event or an open job in your lab or company, or if you want to share resources you have (images, videos, podcasts, other media articles, educational resources etc…). Contact oceans connectes also if you want your institute or your lab to be part of the “connected oceans” community ! https://oceansconnectes.org/en/home/

29Please let Megan and OceanOPS know of new AST members. (Denmark, Portugal, Saudi Arabia?)Updated Chinese AST members, added one for Portugal, Hosoda added for Japan
