An Ocean Observing System for Climate

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1996
The conceptual design of an ocean observing system for the routine, long-term gathering and processing of ocean data useful for monitoring, describing and predicting ocean climate and its variability is discussed. The ultimate aim of the system is represented by four application areas; atmospheric prediction; ocean and coupled ocean-atmosphere climate ...

Ocean observing systems demystified

OCEANS 2009, 2009
An ocean observing system could be defined as a set of independent elements that interact to form a whole for the purpose of observing ocean data. But, what is a system? Is a sensor a system? Is a buoy a system? Is a collection of stations a system? This paper defines the components of an ocean observing system and how they relate to each other for the

Toward an Ocean Observing System of Systems

OCEANS 2006, 2006
The earth- and ocean-science communities are developing the concept of a "system of systems" (www.epa.gov/geoss) for observing the earth and oceans. Related initiatives in the ocean sciences range from the application-oriented Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) to the research-oriented Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI).

Campeche Ocean Observing System

2017
Since spring 2017, the coastal zone off Campeche coast has been equipped with different measuring technologies aiming to study a coastal ocean. Tide gauges, weather stations, CTD and ADCP moorings, as well as HF radars, together they form what it has been called Campeche Ocean Observing System (Observatorio Marino Campechano).

Ocean modeling in a global ocean observing system

Reviews of Geophysics, 1993
The oceanographic community is currently contemplating the design of a global ocean climate observing system to help monitor, describe, and understand the seasonal to decadal climate changes of the ocean and to provide the observations needed for climate prediction.

Coastal Ocean Observing Systems

2015
Coastal Ocean Observing Systems provides state-of-the-art scientific and technological knowledge in coastal ocean observing systems, along with guidance on establishing, restructuring, and improving similar systems. The book is intended to help oceanographers understand, identify, and recognize how oceanographic research feeds into the various designs ...

Semantic mediation of vocabularies for ocean observing systems

Computers & Geosciences, 2012
The collective terminology used in a community of interest identifies the important concepts used by that community. These concepts are related to the research activities of the community and therefore to the types of data that the community creates and uses.

Gulf of Maine Ocean Observing System (GoMOOS): Current Measurement in an Integrated Ocean Observing System

2008 IEEE/OES 9th Working Conference on Current Measurement Technology, 2008
The Gulf of Maine ocean observing system (GoMOOS) was established in the summer of 2001 as a prototype real-time observing system that now includes eleven solar- powered buoys with physical and optical sensors, four shore- based long-range HF radar surface current systems, circulation and wave models, satellite observations, and hourly web delivery of ...
