WG4: Ocean and Society
Scene setting for Session-2
Since 2012, the Oceans and Society working group of the GEOSS-AP
Symposium has been working to define, enhance and integrate theinventory of information exchanges of issues related to coastal datain the Asia-Pacific region which spans multiple jurisdictional waters.
We asked SEAGOOS, and various institutes/agencies in the Asian
countries to talk about the current situation, and seek possible
collaboration with the current activity for Ocean Data Networking
System (ODNS) of GEOSS-AP.
We also discuss future development of ODNSOcean observation is core of “Blue Planet”“Blue Planet” works with GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System)

Global module of GOOS is implemented byseveral components of surface buoy array,
Argo floats and hydrographic ship-based
observations for climate monitoring andforecasting, assessment, research, and global
operational oceanography, as well as
Biological and Ecosystem monitoring. Data
are collected by each component, shared anddisseminated.

Coastal module of GOOS is implemented bymember states and participating organizations
usually cooperating through GOOS Regional
Alliances for coastal ocean services.

NEAR-GOOS, SEA-GOOS, IO-GOOS, and PI-GOOS are linked with GEOSS-AP

Regional Alliance

Status of Data Availability

NEAR-GOOS(North Eastern AsianRegional GOOS)

Well collected among national data centers (except for some parts of costal area),collected data are well opened via the NEAR-GOOS web in each country

SEA-GOOS(South Eastern AsianGOOS)

Data are not available to public
Pilot Study phase under IOC/WESTPAC, and data is only shared among
participants

IO-GOOS(Indian Ocean GOOS)

India’s data are available at INCOIS (Indian National Center for OceanInformation Service) web site, but data from other participating countries are notavailable

PI-GOOS(Pacific Island GOOS)

Data from Island tide and weather are available by BoM of Australia (SouthPacific Sea Level and Climate Monitoring Project), but other data are notavailable

Data availability of Regional GOOSa is yet insufficient for “Blue Planet”.
Reasons of insufficient data access:1) Ocean data in each jurisdictional waters have great concerns with each national security.
2) In some Asia-Pacific counties, their national ocean data center (NODC) have notestablished yet.

GEOSS-AP Ocean Data Networking System developed since 2014

One goal of the WG 4
Extension of GEOSS-AP Ocean Data Networking System
Goal: Extension of the current Ocean Data Networking, which will
ensure national security and help efforts of individual
observation projects for data exchanges through collaborativeworks.
