MAN-7-Doc-4.4
Science Issues and Opportunities (aligned with the JCOMM Operating Plan)
| Author(s) | D.E. Harrison and Albert Fischer |
|---|---|
| Summary | The JCOMM OPA operating plan is largely based on the guidance of the ocean observing community written into the ocean chapter of the GCOS Implementation Plan (GCOS-92, 2004) which was written primarily with the aims of climate research, monitoring, and forecasting, but with awareness that the ocean observing system is multi-purpose and forms the foundation of operational oceanography. This documents informs MAN of a number of activities and initiatives relating to the evaluation and development of the observing system, activities under GCOS in reporting at a high level to the UNFCCC on progress made in implementing the system and in updating the Implementation Plan, and a major effort in building community consensus on the way forward through the OceanObs’09 conference. |
