With the overall theme "Coastal to Global Operational Oceanography: Achievements and Challenges," EuroGOOS 2008 promises to be an important year for operational oceanography, with the FP6 projects in their mid-term, the start of FP7 and actions to establish the GMES Marine Core Service. The community must respond to the need for environmental information to support the EU Maritime Policy and implementation of the Marine Strategy Directive.
The EuroGOOS Conference will provide a timely opportunity to review progress, and to present and discuss plans for the future, covering all aspects of operational oceanography.
Five core themes are suggested for the parallel sessions. They are as follows:
- Observations: in situ and space-based
- Global and regional services
- Coastal and EEZ services
- Modelling: nowcast, forecast and reanalysis
- Information systems and data management
