The Ocean Observations Physics and Climate Panel (OOPC), a scientific expert advisory group to the Global Ocean (GOOS) and Global Climate (GCOS) Observing Systems and the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), is seeking new experts to serve on the panel.
OOPC is in charge of assessing the capabilities, gaps and deficiencies of current ocean physics/climate observing systems. The panel also helps to improve the observing capabilities by encouraging the development of strategies for the ocean observing system evaluation and evolution. In addition, it contributes to the regular reports to the UNFCCC about the status of global climate-observing capacities.
