Session ID#: 85282
Session Description:
The Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) has been delivering measurements to researchers and a wide range of stakeholders since the 1980s. The primary stakeholders for TPOS have been, and remain, the international science community and national and international prediction centers that provide forecasts of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). TPOS, however, also serves several other key stakeholders for monitoring the carbon inventory and climate change; for managing sustainable fisheries; and for forecasting weather, sea state and sea level for Pacific island nations and beyond. The TPOS 2020 Project, in its review of the observing system, is making recommendations that would not only mitigate degradation and risks to the TPOS, but also make it more capable, taking advantage of emerging technologies, new platforms and techniques that have reached a state of technical readiness. This session seeks presentations that underscore the fundamental science made possible through the integrated TPOS components; discuss advances in technologies that are applicable to TPOS 2020; and highlight the use of TPOS data and prospective products. We envision this session as a way to share information about potential new contributions to the TPOS and the improvements it could realize for modeling and forecasting communities and other stakeholders.
