Implementing Basin Scale In Situ Ocean Observing Systems (OOS): Enhancing the Efficiency and Overall Information Content of Integrated OOS for the Atlantic (EU Project AtlantOS), the Southern Ocean (SOOS, OOI, SOCCOM), the Pacific (TPOS2020), the Pan-Arctic (SAON), and the Indic (IndOOS)


Session ID#: 11208

Session Description:
Each observing network supports a range of Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs). One of the main goals for an integrated, fit-for-purpose global OOS is to enhance the efficiency and capability of all observing networks by strengthening the international partnerships within each of the networks to cover the global ocean. This town hall invites participants to a discussion of observation requirements for in situ systems in the global oceans with a focus on societal drivers and EOVs across the full spectrum of physical, biogeochemical and ecosystem state and dynamics within the context of existing national capabilities, impediments, gaps and opportunities.
