As terrestrial beings, it is easy for us to underestimate our dependence on the global ocean.

The Global Ocean Observing System is the overarching coordination tool for a variety of observation systems including many partners.
The IOC and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) was instrumental in the development of this transformative observing system.
Rejoice Mabudafhasi of the Ministry of Water and Environmental Affairs, South Africa, and Biliana Cicin-Sain, President of the Global Ocean Forum.
High school students, university undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral investigators all can use Argo from their desktops to explore the global ocean and its evolution.
Additionally, the RACE FOR WATER flagship vessel could launch Argo floats during its journey around the world as a contribution to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).
The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) also contributes directly to the actions under the UN Framework Convention for Climate Change as the ocean component of the Global Climate Observation System (GCOS).
Arctic ROOS is part of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) led by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO-IOC), which is the overarching coordination tool to observe, model and analyse marine and ocean variables worldwide.
The Ocean and Coasts Best Practices Area, where technologies and systems which contribute to our understanding of the oceans and coasts will be displayed, includes a presentation of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).
It will be implemented in close cooperation with the Global Ocean Forum led Voluntary Commitment on building global capacity for integrated ocean governance, in partnership with countries, UN Agencies, global financial institutions, and the private sector.
The impetus for the creation of a coordinated observing system to provide baseline data and ensure sustained monitoring came from IOC in the late 1980s and resulted in the creating of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) in 1991.
Today, hundreds of floats deployed under the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), coordinated by UNESCO and largely supported by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), are used to measure ocean temperature, salinity and tsunami risk.
As such, they form an essential component of marine observing systems established as part of the World Weather Watch, the World Climate Research Programme, the Global Ocean Observing System, the Global Climate Observing System and other meteorological and oceanographic operational and research programmes.
The Argos deployed off the Lady Amber constitute a major contribution to the Indian Ocean Observing System and will assist scientists better understand and be able to predict the Indian Ocean's dynamics, and thereby lead to societal benefit as that understanding and associated products transfer to Indian Ocean communities through the Indian Ocean Global Ocean Observing System (IOGOOS) framework.
With the generous support of Wendy Schmidt, we will be launching a global competition for the development of effective and affordable pH sensors to profoundly improve our knowledge of ocean chemistry and the understanding of the global effects of ocean acidification.
The DBCP was the first Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) component to achieve its initial goal, when in 2005, it deployed its 1250th drifter near Halifax Harbor, Nova Scotia.
The concept of a global ocean observing system grew from the realisation that understanding and forecasting climate change would require a long-term, multivariate ocean observing system.
Mr Morales said the deal would "open the door for Bolivians to have an international port, to use the ocean for global trade and for Bolivian products to have better access to global markets".
The objectives are to quantify the ocean soundscape on global scales, determine behavioral change thresholds of various species, and examine the functional relationship between sound and the viability of key marine organisms, at an individual scale, a species scale and the ecosystem level.
Besides supporting scientific research, Tara Oceans and UNESCO-IOC will work together to promote ocean education and public awareness on the crucial role our ocean play in global warming and to encourage sustainable management of the environment.
Argo is a global fleet of 3000 data collection ships that collect high-quality temperature and salinity profiles from the upper 2000m of the ice-free global ocean.
At first the current stall out of global warming was due to the ocean cycles turning back to cold.
FORBES: To The Horror Of Global Warming Alarmists, Global Cooling Is Here
As Hurricane Irene hammers the Eastern Seaboard, the battles over the link between global warming and more frequent and ferocious hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean has resurfaced in the blogosphere.
FORBES: Hurricane Irene Exposes Charlatans on All Sides of Climate Science
Current estimates suggest 30% of coral reefs will be endangered by 2050, says O'Dor, because of the effects of ocean acidification and global warming.
Currents estimates suggest 30% of coral reefs will be endangered by 2050, says O'Dor, because of the effects of ocean acidification and global warming.
The main message of the expo is that the well-being of humankind is linked to that of the ocean, which is under threat: global cooperation is needed.
The Mediterranean world sketched by Braudel and the world system across the Atlantic Ocean described by Wallerstein were nothing other than subsystems of the global system that encompassed Africa, the Mediterranean, the Islamic Middle East, India, China, and Southeast Asia.
The global temperature trends since then have followed not rising CO2 trends but the ocean temperature cycles of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO).
FORBES: To The Horror Of Global Warming Alarmists, Global Cooling Is Here
If the Internet is a global phenomenon, it's because there are tubes underneath the ocean.
Progress on the development of a global observing network on ocean acidification was discussed during a NOAA side event.
