GOSIC has just completed an overhaul of the web site. Take this opportunity to explore its new features. Now the data portal includes links to most GOOS partners, programmes, GRAs and data sources in an organized and simple manner. Data sources are now presented in the GOSIC Data Access Matrix , allowing investigators to quickly locate data by measurement type, geographic distribution or observation programme. In addition to serving GOOS, the GTOS and GCOS programmes are also represented by the GOSIC pages.
GOOS member states are periodically questioned as to the extent of their contributions to GOOS and the ever expanding observation system. The GOOS National Commitments/Activities Summaries displays these findings and is updated almost monthly.
GOOS is a permanent global system for observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide. GOOS provides accurate descriptions of the present state of the oceans, including living resources; continuous forecasts of the future conditions of the sea for as far ahead as possible, and the basis for forecasts of climate change.
