Program Managament
IOGOOS will address all aspects of GOOS, and membership would therefore include marine institutes and agencies from both inside and outside the region having a shared interest in participating in sustained ocean and coastal observing of the Indian Ocean. 19 organizations from 10 countries have become Members of IOGOOS and agreed to collaborate and work together for the implementation of GOOS in the Indian Ocean and for promoting activities of common interest for the development of operational oceanography in the Indian Ocean region.
GOOS (through Indian Ocean GOOS and the Perth Office of the IOC) and CLIVAR have established the Indian Ocean Panel initially charged to develop, coordinate and implement a plan for sustained ocean observations of the Indian Ocean for climate research and ocean state estimation.
IOGOOS Objectives
Members of IOGOOS will collaborate and work together for developing programmes for the implementation of GOOS in the Indian Ocean and for promoting activities of common interest for the development of operation oceanography in the Indian Ocean region, broadly to:
- Enhance the Ocean Observing System in the region,
- Promote and facilitate efficient and effective management, exchange and utilization of oceanographic data,
- Promote programs and projects in operational oceanography and ocean services in the region meeting the requirements of end users,
- Stregthen capacity building for enhancing the capabilities in the region,
- Encourage research to support the needs of users,
