Our unique partnership with IOC-UNESCO <\/a>is pioneering an exciting new area of citizen science by using amateur sailors to gather information about the oceans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS)<\/h2>\n

Data is currently gathered about the climate, weather, and oceans in a variety of ways, from satellite observations in space and land-based weather stations to buoys drifting with the ocean currents and floats descending into the depths.<\/p>\n

These global observing systems are managed by international organisations such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO)<\/em> and UNESCO\u2019s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC),<\/em> working in partnership with national government agencies, navies and oceanographic research institutions around the world.<\/p>\n

The Global Ocean Observing System<\/em> (GOOS)<\/em> is the oceanographic part of this system. Its aims include monitoring, understanding and predicting weather and climate as well as describing and forecasting the state of the ocean.<\/p>\n
