OceanObs'09 conference, Venice, Italy
21 September 2009 - 21 September 2009
Italy
The OceanObs'09 conference will take place from 21 to 25 September in Venice, Italy.
Entitled 'Ocean information or society: sustaining the benefits, realising the potential', OceanObs'09 will look back on a decade of scientific work on ocean observation. Today, the world's oceans are being observed routinely and systematically by means of satellite and in situ techniques. This study has led to the rapid development of ocean analysis and forecasting, as well as new scientific understanding of oceanic variability and the role of the oceans in weather and climate.
The conference aims to strengthen and enhance the international framework under the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) and other programmes. It will also support regional and national frameworks for sustained world ocean observing and information systems.For further information, please visit:
