Ocean Observing System

An Ocean Observing System is a network of tools and technologies used to monitor and study the ocean's conditions, such as temperature, currents, and marine life. It includes satellites, buoys, ships, and underwater sensors that collect data to enhance our understanding of ocean dynamics. This information helps scientists track climate change, manage fisheries, predict weather patterns, and protect marine ecosystems. By observing the oceans, we gain critical insights that benefit environmental management and public safety, ultimately supporting sustainable use of ocean resources.
