From page 28...
... Peak oil in a warming world In 2025, oil limitation and climate change will reshape every aspect of our lives including oceanography. In addition, oceanography will be reshaped by the collapse of fisheries due to ocean acidification and overfishing.

From page 29...
... Some Argo floats will forego their parking depth current measurements in order to provide greater spatial and temporal resolution CTD measurements in frontal regions. Gliders will become a popular tool, with a number of universities hosting centers with "glider pilots." The passage of fronts will be studied in the long, highresolution time series from fixed moorings.

From page 30...
... Reliance upon wind farms for the general power grid will lead to rapid advancements in atmospheric boundary layer technology. Flashlight-sized LIDAR systems, which measure cloud structure and wind profile with a bottom bin as low as 10 m, will become part of the standard suite of meteorological sensors for buoys and voluntary observing ships (VOS)
