GCOS IP Actions implemented by GOOS (OOPC rapporteur and implementer)

The GCOS 2022 Implementation Plan is available here

A1. Ensure necessary levels of long-term funding support for in situ networks, from observations to data delivery

B2. Development and implementation of the Global Basic Observing Network (GBON)

B6. Expand and build a fully integrated global ocean observing system

B7. Augmenting ship-based hydrography and fixed-point observations with biological and biogeochemical parameters

B8. Coordinate observations and data product development for ocean CO2 and N2O

B9. Improve estimates of latent and sensible heat fluxes and wind stress

C1. Develop monitoring standards, guidance and best practices for each ECV

D2. Ensure Global Data Centres exist for all in situ observations of ECVs

E1. Foster regional engagement in GCOS

F3. Improve monitoring of coastal and Exclusive Economic Zones

OTHER ACTIONS:

A2, A3, topic E… etc. (consider who can support)

 

2.4

OOPC Secretariat

This section is meant for the panel to go through the relevant actions, assign rapporteurs or “implementers” amongst the panel and inclusion in OOPC workplan, if appropriate.

 

E.g. A1, C1, D2 – This is dealt with in Day 1

B7 and B8 – Biogeochemistry panel

E1 . Connection with GRAs

B6/F3 – relation with GOOS

 

Other Actions related to Space Agencies (A2, A3…)
