Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS)

The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is a collaborative network that monitors and collects data about the world's oceans. Its goal is to improve our understanding of ocean conditions, like temperature, currents, and sea level, which are crucial for climate research, weather forecasting, and marine resource management. By utilizing advanced technology, such as buoys, satellites, and underwater sensors, GOOS provides valuable information that helps scientists and policymakers make informed decisions to protect the ocean and the planet's health. Ultimately, it aims to enhance our ability to respond to environmental changes and support sustainable use of ocean resources.
