GEOSS Workshop Draft Questions (1)GEOSS Workshop Draft Questions (1)

• Framework of Ocean Observation –Framework of Ocean Observation guidelines for future monitoring programsprograms

Are the proposed essential variables sufficient and– Are the proposed essential variables sufficient and applicable to your field?

– Will all disciplines have a fair chance to join the p jframework - are all disciplines addressed?

– Does the framework sufficiently address coastal communities?communities?

GEOSS Workshop Draft Questions (2)GEOSS Workshop Draft Questions (2)

• Global Observations Strategies– Is there a need of cohesive ocean observations for all

marine operations?How can user/stakeholder feedback be expanded?– How can user/stakeholder feedback be expanded?

– Who are the relevant cluster networks/organizations that can act as multipliers? p

– Where are economic relevant domains?– How do we address multi-disciplinary activities and

needs? (Physical oceanography, biology, biogeochemistry, etc…)

GEOSS Workshop Draft Questions (3)GEOSS Workshop Draft Questions (3)

• Approaches for Future ImplementationApproaches for Future Implementation– Approach to common sensors: TOGA/TAO, ARGO as

templates for a sustainable observation concept– Added value of fixed stations acting as reference

stationsE d t d t f d t d i f ti– End to end system for data and information –integrating sensors, platforms and models

– Is there an approach to “lower cost” standardIs there an approach to lower cost standard observatories for broad applications?
