GOOS Structure

Physics and climate panel

• Physical EOVs: led by the GCOS-GOOS-WCRP Ocean Observations Panel for Climate OOPCclose link to work of JCOMM Observations Programme Area and JCOMMOPS

• Co-chairs: Mark Bourassa and Toshio Suga

• Secretariat: Katherine Hill (based in GCOS)

• OOPC-16/OOPC-17/TPOS 2020

Tropical Pacific Observing System 2020 (TPOS 2020)

• To refine and adjust the TPOS to monitor, observe and predict the state of ENSO and advance scientific understanding of its causes.

• To determine the most efficient and effective method for sustained observations to support prediction systems for ocean, weather and climate services of high societal and economic utility, including underpinning research.

Tropical Pacific Observing System 2020 (TPOS 2020)

• To advance and refine the knowledge of the predictability horizon of the tropical Pacific variability (physical and biogeochemical), as well as its impacts in global climate.

• To determine how inter-annual to multi-decadal variability and human activities impact the relation between marine biogeochemistry and biology to carbon budgets, food security and biodiversity.

Biogeochemstry panel

• Geochemical EOVs: led by the SCOR-IOC International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project IOCCP

• Toste Tanhua (chair), Maciej Telszewski (secretariat)

• IOCCP has recently added oxygen, nutrients, and ocean acidification experts to its Scientific Steering Group (SSG)

Biology and ecosystem panel

• Biological and ecosystem EOVs: new GOOS panel, building on work of the Panel for Integrated Coastal Observations and other efforts

• Co-chairs: Nic Bax (CSIRO, Australia), Samantha Simmons (Marine Mammal Commission, USA)

• Secretariat: Patricia Miloslavich (USB, Venezuela, TBC)
