Program Management
The Baltic Operational Oceanographic System(BOOS), founded in 1999, is a collaboration between national government agencies of the nine countries surrounding the Baltic Sea (Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark). BOOS provides information such as data modeling products and forecasts for the marine industry, the public and other end users. BOOS is a EuroGOOS regional project.
BOOS was initiated by the EuroGOOS Baltic Task Team, which is a formal body of EuroGOOS. The highest authority of BOOS is a board of representatives from Baltic EuroGOOS members and BOOS associated institutions. The BOOS Steering Group is chaired by Bertil Håkansson SMHI - Norrköping/Göteborg.
