Presentation Transcript

  1. Framework for Ocean Observing Developed following Ocean Obs meeting in 2009 GOAL: To establish an integrated and sustained global observing system RESULT: Internationally accepted process with expanded and well-defined collaboration

  2. Requirements/Benefit driven system 3 overarching themes, supported by ~12 societal benefit areas ”drive” the requirements for the observing system: • Climate, • Operational Ocean Services, and • Ocean Health

  3. Essential Ocean Variables • EOV’s are the organizational “unit” of this framework (rather than specific observing system, platform, program or region). • EOV’s allow for innovation in observing technology, encourages tradeoffs where possible, and focuses the observing system on sustaining quality observations of the natural system, regardless of how the underlying observing techniques and programs may change over time. • Overlap between “essential observables” of different programs (e.g. GCOS) is explicitly recognized.

  4. FOO Governance Model • In addition to the Framework STEERING COMMITTEE, which oversees the overall governance; • PANELs are responsible for recruiting the experts to define the requirements, best practices, data managements strategies, etc. for each EOV; • Implementation TEAMs
