The GLODAP scientific community will ensure the regular provision of updated interior ocean CO2 chemistry synthesis products. These will integrate state of the art data from ship based surveys conducted as part of internationally coordinated observation networks, and also include data from surveys with a national focus. The synthesis products will contain data from the entire water column of the world's oceans to enable determination of ocean acidification rates, ocean uptake of man-made CO2, ocean deoxygenation and other indicators of the evolving chemistry of the oceans.

The updated products will be based on the GLODAPv2 data product. This was published in 2016 and includes quality controlled data from 724 cruises covering the entire global ocean. New data will be added to this product after extensive quality control. GLODAP data products are discoverable, accessible and citable.

GLODAP is the interior ocean data synthesis project of the International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP) which leads the GOOS panel for Biogeochemistry. GLODAP is an important GOOS data product reporting on a range of Essential Ocean Variables, as well as additional interior ocean variables.
