global ocean observing systems

Global ocean observing systems are networks of instruments and technologies that continuously monitor the world's oceans. They collect data on temperature, salinity, currents, and marine life, providing critical information about ocean health, climate change, and weather patterns. These systems include ships, buoys, satellites, and autonomous vehicles, working together to deliver real-time insights. By understanding ocean conditions globally, scientists can better predict storms, track sea level rise, and protect marine environments, ultimately supporting sustainable use and resilience of ocean resources for future generations.
