| Abstract | Ocean climate observations, to be sustainable, must be an integral part of a multipurpose and integrated ocean observing system. Physical ocean climate observations are needed to deliver information and products to operational services (for instance, weather services, warning systems, etc.). The provided information is the baseline for drafting ocean state and climate assessments. To be able to deliver ocean forecasts and early warnings, climate projections and assessments and protect ocean health and its benefits, it is vital to measure Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and Essential Climate Variables (ECVs). These variables form the basis of the Global Climate Indicators that contain key information for the most relevant areas of climate change.
ObsSea4Clim aims at delivering an improved framework for sustainable ocean observation.
Our approach is based on the methodology developed by the World Meteorological Organisation, the Rolling Review of Requirements (WMO RRR). This WMO RRR system aims at integrating national observations to create a global system. At the heart of the system is a global set of data requirements for observations. This set has been generated from a synthesis of nations’ regional requirements. The requirements are validated against existing and emerging observing capabilities. A regular review of these requirements is need to check their adequacy.
