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.
The GOOS Watch are updated articles about developing GOOS data in the news. Marine environmental conditions and social impacts are changing everyday and Real-time Ocean measurements are now able to spot the trends.
