Ocean Observations Panel for Climate (OOPC) is a scientific expert advisory group charged with making recommendations for a sustained global ocean observing system for climate in support of the goals of its sponsors. This includes recommendations for phased implementation. The Panel also aids in the development of strategies for evaluation and evolution of the system and of its recommendations, and supports global ocean observing activities by interested parties through liaison and advocacy for the agreed observing plans. Opens at State of the Tropical Oceans Page. See Reports Page. |

Global Water System Project Digital Water Atlas currently contains 50 global maps and datasets on water-related topics and more than 100 links to other data and information sources. The project eventually will deliver a series of reports describing and mapping key indicators of the state of the Global Water System across paleo, historical, and contemporary time horizons as well as possible future time horizons derived from scenario analysis. |
