"This site is a contribution to the WIGOS Pilot Project for JCOMM:"Integration of marine meteorological and other appropriate oceanographic observations into the WMO Integrated Global Observing Systems". The project aims at enabling the integration of marine and other appropriate oceanographic observations (in situ, surface marine and satellite), real time and delayed mode data and products (e.g. models) within the oceanographic marine community. The Pilot Project will also consider assembled in situ fields, biochemistry, model outputs, surface and underwater marine climatologies and measurements.
One of the expected deliverables will be the documenting and integrating of instrument best practices and related standards among the marine meteorological and oceanographic communities through a JCOMM Catalogue of Best Practices and Standards.
This web site provides access to over 60 publications of WMO and IOC that may be included in the Catalogue. Further work will be carried out by relevant experts to review the publications and documents to identify deficiencies, duplication, discrepancies, potential for cross-referencing, and to make recommendations to address those issues."
