Global Ocean Observing System 319d ago

GOOS Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) are the minimum set of ocean variables needed to assess ocean state and variability for important global ocean phenomena, and to provide essential data for applications that support societal benefit. The EOVs are derived from sustained individual measurements, or combinations of measurements, that can be undertaken at global scale and in a cost-effective manner. This video introduces the EOV Specification Sheets and explains how to use them. All EOV Specification Sheets can be found here: https://goosocean.org/what-we-do/framework/essential-ocean-variables/ --- About GOOS: The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is the global home of ocean observing expertise and systematic coordination. We lead and support a community of international, regional and national ocean observing programmes, governments, UN agencies, research organizations and individual scientists. Our Core Team of expert panels, observing networks, alliances and projects, supported by the GOOS Management Team, is in touch with ocean observing and forecasting around the world. We are a programme led by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO, with UN and science co-sponsors: World Meteorological Organization (WMO), UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the International Science Council (ISC).
