| Description: | An integrated Global Ocean Observing System of systems (www.ioc-goos.org) has been built up under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and the World Climate Research Program and Global Climate Observing System of the World Meteorological Organization and is accepted as a key component of the GEOSS. Great progress has been made in implementing an internationally agreed plan, building on individual in situ and satellite observing components of this system. Research and operational groups now carry out ocean forecasting and reanalysis. The ocean and climate research communities have used all of these to improve our understanding of the ocean, serving as both a primary provider and user of climate-related ocean data. As such, incorporating research-derived capabilities and knowledge into observing system design and implementation, and likewise designing operational components of the system to help address research (as well as end-user) needs, is absolutely crucial in ensuring that we can accurately and effectively monitor the global oceans. This session invites submissions on all aspects of physical, biogeochemical and biological global ocean observations, focusing on climate-related results derived from these observations and analyses, as well identifying those that might emerge from potential new observing system components (e.g., new platforms and sensors). |
