Lead institution:
The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) through lead sponsor of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO – France
We aim to transform ocean data access and availability by connecting ocean observers and the communities they serve, through enhanced support to both new and existing community-scale projects. Globally, many communities are unable to access ocean data in decision-ready formats and so cannot see the value of investment in ocean observations.
Co-design will broaden equitable access to and relevant application of ocean knowledge by a myriad of stakeholders. We will leverage the Global Ocean Observing System’s network of expertise to bring needed observations and forecasts to community users and into global data streams, making every observation count.
