DESCRIPTION:Autonomous observing systems\, such as profiling Argo floats\,
  have been revolutionizing our understanding of oceanography. Yet\, uncert
 ainties remain about whether our current observing system captures the tru
 e spatio-temporal variability of physical\, biogeochemical\, and biologica
 l properties\, which complicates the detection of long-term trends. Numeri
 cal models with synthetic observing systems offer one potential avenue to 
 address these uncertainties. In this talk\, I will discuss examples of how
  such synthetic observing systems are used to inform sampling network desi
 gn and the interpretation of observational records. In particular\, I will
  present the novel synthetic biogeochemical float capabilities of the Ener
 gy Exascale Earth System Model version 2. In different case studies\, I wi
 ll demonstrate the utility of this new tool in addressing existing uncerta
 inties of the current Core\, Deep and BGC Argo float networks related to\,
  e.g.\, sampling density\, sampling frequency\, and float positioning.
