U.S. GO-SHIP
(U.S. Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program)
What Is U.S. GO-SHIP?
US GO-SHIP is part of the international GO-SHIP network of sustained hydrographic sections, supporting:
-
Physical oceanography
-
The carbon cycle
-
Marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems
-
Global ocean/climate observing system
The US program is sponsored by US CLIVAR and OCB.
Funded by the National Science Foundation and NOAA.

Upcoming Cruises
2024: NOAA A16S (late Dec. to early Feb. 2025).
2025: I09N is planned for early 2025 (Thompson). P04E is likely in late 2025 / early 2026.
Austral Summer A16S along ~30°W
Leaving from Brazil in fall 2024, the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown will extend the A16N completed early this year occupying stations from 6°N to 60°S in the South Atlantic. This will be the 3rd full occupation of this line. Stay tuned for the blog and weekly reports!
I09N along ~95°E
2025 reoccupation of the Indian Ocean I09N hydrographic section. After first filling a gap left by the 2024 I08S occupation (~33.5°- 30.5°S), I09N will extend northward along the 95°E meridian into the Bay of Bengal to 18°N. Stay tuned for the blog and weekly reports!
