The GOOS Scientific Steering Committee

 

The GOOS Scientific Steering Committee came into being at the end of 1997, in accordance with a decision by the sponsors in January 1997 to streamline the GOOS infrastructure.

The Joint Scientific and Technical Committee for GOOS (J-GOOS) and the I-GOOS Strategy Sub-committee (SSC) were phased out at that time and their functions were subsumed by the GSSC.

The GSSC chairman is (since February 2005) John Field.
