Objective
Implement the ocean domain of GCOS-92:
• International GOOS• GEOSS Ocean Baseline• UNFCCC Priority• G8 Commitment
The Road Map
• Tide gauge stations
• Drifting Buoys
• Tropical Moored Buoys
• Profiling Floats
• Ships of Opportunity
• Ocean Reference Stations
• Ocean Carbon Networks
• Arctic Observing System
• Dedicated Ship Support
• Data & Assimilation Subsystems
• Management and Product Delivery
• Satellites -- SST, Surface Topography, Wind, Color, Sea Ice
GCOS-92Implementation Targets are designed for climate but also serve global weather prediction, global and coastal ocean prediction, marine transportation, marine hazards warning, marine environmental monitoring, and many other non-climate users.
All six global (in situ) implementation programs are
now linked internationally through WMO/IOC JCOMM
coordination
