This paper summarizes recent efforts on Observing System Evaluation (OS-Eval) by the
Ocean Data Assimilation and Prediction (ODAP) communities such as GODAE OceanView …

The Mediterranean community represented in this paper is the result of more than 30 years
of EU and nationally funded coordination, which has led to key contributions in science …

Ocean observations are the foundation of our understanding of ocean processes. Improving
these observations has critical implications for our ability to sustainably derive food from the …

Coastal regions of the world's oceans are critical to supporting the fishing sector, recreation,
tourism, and the global blue economy. However, there is a paucity of subsurface, in situ …

The coastal area is the most productive and dynamic environment of the world ocean,
offering significant resources and services for mankind. As exemplified by the UN …

We know that extremes in ocean temperature often extend below the surface, and when
these extremes occur in shelf seas they can significantly impact ecosystems and fisheries …

Integration of observations of the coastal ocean continuum, from regional oceans to shelf
seas and estuaries/deltas with models, can substantially increase the value of observations …

Sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) and sea surface height anomalies (SSHAs) are
indispensable parts of scientific research, such as mesoscale eddy, current, ocean …

In the last decade, an enormous amount of georeferenced oceanographic data, co-located
with catch information, have been collected through the use of commercial fishing vessels …

While the observation of the open ocean is well achieved by automated ocean
measurement instruments, coastal and shelf seas suffer the lack of sub-surface collection …
