6. Ocean

This section lists in situ and remotely sensed observational data both in and above the ocean and at the sea surface, from the open ocean to the coast, along with other data that provide necessary input to ocean monitoring and prediction and for a variety of other Earth system applications.

6.1. Core observational data:

  1. Marine meteorological and oceanographic observations, as defined in the Manual on the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WMO-No. 1160);
  2. All other physical Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and physical ocean domain GCOS ECVs, some of which are included in section 2, Climate, above made as part of a GOOS observational network, programme or project, consistent with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Oceanographic Data Exchange Policy (IOC Resolution XXII-6).

6.2 Other core data:

  1. Ocean analysis and prediction fields provided by global NWP systems operating under the auspices of the GDPFS, as defined in the Manual on the Global Data-processing and Forecasting System (WMO-No. 485);
  2. All ocean reanalysis fields provided by the Global Processing Centres of the GDPFS;
  3. All watches, warnings, advisories and alerts for public safety (protection of life and property) issued by Members’ designated warning and alerting authorities according to WMO Technical Regulations.

6.3 Recommended data:

  1. Physical GCOS ECV and GOOS EOV observations that have been collected outside of designated GOOS activities;
  2. All other observed biogeochemical and biological/ecosystems GCOS ECVs and GOOS EOVs;
  3. Observations of pH, chlorophyll-A, suspended particles and downwelling irradiance which are fundamental to address significant scientific and societal ocean/climate related issues.
