  1. Thorkild Aarup IOC Secretariat GTOS Steering Committee Meeting Paris, 30 Nov - 2 Dec 2009 GOOS and GTOS

  2. Global Ocean Observing System • GOOS is a series of observation and monitoring programmes designed to: • Monitor, understand and predict weather and climate • Describe and forecast the state of the ocean, including living resources • Improve management of marine and coastal ecosystems and resources • Mitigate damage from natural hazards and pollution • Protect life and property on coasts and at sea • Enable scientific research

  3. GOOS is comprised of: An open ocean moduleAdvised by the Ocean Observations Panel for Climate (OOPC) [with JCOMM/WCRP/GCOS]Implemented by member states usually cooperating through the Joint WMO-IOC Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) A coastal moduleAdvised by the Panel on Integrated Coastal Observations (PICO)Implemented by member states usually cooperating through GOOS regional alliances.

  4. GOOS Planning for Open and Coastal Ocean Modules Open Ocean Coastal Ocean C-GOOS (5) HOTO (4) LMR (4) COOP (7) Links to C-GTOS 2008 PICO Panel formed

  5. GTOS Contributions to GOOS • GOOS relies on GTOS to provide land-based input to the coastal ocean (fluxes of water, sediments, nutrients, chemical contaminants, and human pathogens from land to estuarine and marine systems.) • Land use practices data & products • Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring Sites (TEMS) & Long Term Ecological Research Sites

  6. Implementing Coastal GOOS 1st GOOS Regional Forum, Athens, Greece, 2002 2nd GOOS Regional Forum, Nadi, Fiji, 2004 3rd GOOS Regional Forum, Cape Town, S. Africa, 2006 4th GRA Forum, Guyaquil, Ecuador, November, 2008

  7. PICO Developments: • Panel established in 2008 and two meetings held • Primary focus to develop a prioritized Implementation Plan for the Coastal Module of GOOS. Driver: The group has decided to focus on the COOP Phenomena of Interest, identifying the end to end system components for each, overlapping elements, and an overall “system of systems” approach to maximize cost-benefit and ensure the maximum value from an integrated, coordinated observing framework that scales from regional to global.

  8. Draft Implementation Plan Outline: Chapter 1: Vision and Background Chapter 2: Phenomena of interest (all) and types of end users with mapped, user-driven products and indicators Chapter 3: End to End System Approach for initial subset (6 total; see next slide) of Phenomena of Interest (PoI) Chapter 4: Cross-cut across PoIs : common measurement, modeling, information delivery approaches; common variables Chapter 5: Integrated system of systems approach; relation between regional and global – scaling issues Chapter 6: Build-out plan: Phased prioritized build-out plan; pilot projects; Responsible advisory, oversight & implementation bodies; Funding Mechanisms and Community Partnerships; Capacity building

  9. Initial Phenomena of Interest Focus: • Coastal Flooding Events • Exposure to Waterborne Pathogens • Ocean Acidification • Habitat modification and loss • Euthrophication – hypoxia • Abundance of exploitable living marine resources
