DECADE ACTION INCUBATOR 7

Seamless Ocean Forecasting and Service System for a Predicted Ocean: From Ocean to Climate

The vision of Seamless Ocean Forecasting and Service System (SOS) is to develop new generation seamless ocean and climate forecast systems, and provide high quality services to public for integrated ocean management, reduction and prevention of the impacts of ocean and climate natural hazards, protection of marine ecosystem, mitigation and adaptation to climate change and variabilities, and scientific research community.

SOS will promote multidisciplinary, solution-oriented approaches including low-cost new observational buoys and high efficient platforms, algorithms of air-sea fluxes especially under extreme weather conditions, coupled models and new assimilation techniques, multi-hazard early warning systems, and coordination mechanisms aiming for raising the public engagement into the UN Ocean Decade. All related stakeholders who are interested in SOS are highly welcome to attend this Decade Action Incubator to catalyze partnerships, strengthen dialogue, initiate co-designing processes, and facilitate the development of SOS UN Decade program.
