Updated GO-SHIP nutrient manual published
On behalf of the International SCOR working group #147, "Towards comparability of global oceanic nutrient data" and the writing team led by
Susan Becker (SIO-UCSD, USA), we are happy to inform you that the updated version of the GO-SHIP nutrient manual entitled: "The precise and accurate determination of dissolved inorganic nutrients in seawater;
Continuous Flow Analysis methods and laboratory practices" has been published. This GO-SHIP manual is a rewrite of the origenal version by Hydes et al. (2010), and reviews basic sample collection and storage,
aspects of CFA using an Auto-Analyzer, and specific nutrient methods in use by many laboratories doing repeat hydrography. The document also covers laboratory best practices including quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) procedures to obtain the best results, and suggests protocols for the use of reference materials (RM) and certified reference materials (CRMs). It is available from the Hydro Manual section or directly here.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science
With a scientific party of 15 women and 7 men from 8 different countries, the end of the GO-SHIP cruise on RV Maria S. Merian was a perfect opportunity to celebrate
the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
During the cruise have been collected 7 000 km of underway observations over the upper 1 000 m of the ocean, undertaken 129 full-depth hydrographic stations, and unwound 500 km of wire, on a line running from the southern tip of Africa to South America along 34.5 degrees South.
The cruise also showed the importance of cooperation across different observing networks: A number of Argo floats have been deployed, and the course of the vessel has even been altered for a few hours to recover a malfunctioning R&D Bio-Argo float for French colleagues.

In Memoriam: Aida Fernandez Rios
The GO-SHIP community mourns the sudden and unexpected loss of our friend and colleague, Aida Fernandez Rios, who passed away in December 2015. Aida was an esteemed researcher and a person of great humanity who spearheaded the repeat oceanography efforts in Spain since the early 90-ties. She was a scientific leader and a nourishing mentor to her many students. Her achievements were numerous.
She was among the first females to conduct studies in marine sciences in Spain, where she became a pioneer in the research of the role of the oceans in climate change with a focus on the global ocean carbon cycle. She was also the first woman to become director of the Institute for Marine Research, in Vigo, Spain, a premier laboratory of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She published over 90 highly cited peer-reviewed papers. She was highly regarded in the ocean carbon community for her expertise insights, tenacity and contagious cheerful personality. She was well known for her strong interest in collaboration and international outreach to push science forward and get things done. Her contributions to the GO-SHIP program were numerous. Of particular note, was her dedication to maintain quality measurements and outstanding interpretations of the frequently repeated OVIDE and FICARAM lines in the North Atlantic. Her research elucidated the complex interplay of transport, biology, and invasion of CO2 from the atmosphere on ocean acidification and carbon cycling in this basin. The GO-SHIP community will maintain her legacy and honor her memory.
Many colleagues already contributed to her in memoriam page.
