The open-ocean observing system for climate”

Author(s) Albert Fisher
Summary Climate has been in the forefront of the news many times this year, and has ceased to be a purely scientific topic and has become a political one. Why are the oceans important in climate? How do we observe them for climate monitoring, forecasting, and research? What are all the parts of this system, what IOC programmes contribute, what do national institutions contribute? What are the big challenges and impediments to making progress?
