Equatorial Ocean Observing System

The Equatorial Ocean Observing System (EOOS) is a coordinated effort to monitor the central equatorial regions of the world's oceans. It involves deploying instruments like buoys and floats that measure key parameters such as temperature, currents, and salinity. This data helps scientists understand ocean behavior, climate variability, and phenomena like El Niño. By providing real-time information, EOOS supports weather forecasting, climate research, and the sustainable management of marine resources, ultimately improving our understanding of how the ocean influences global climate and ecosystems.
