Objective of the meeting

The objective of the meeting was to plan the next steps in organizing and developing operational oceanography services for the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. This is a follow-up of the planning document ("The Arctic Ocean and the Need for an Arctic GOOS") published by EuroGOOS in 2005. At present there are several ongoing projects and services in operational oceanography in the Arctic and during IPY there will be increased data collection and modelling efforts that can be used as building blocks for Arctic GOOS. The outcome of the meeting was to identify the next steps to develop an Arctic GOOS Alliance based on the initiatives taken by EuroGOOS and the good support from IOC, IGOOS, and Non-European countries as USA and Canada.
