The topics covered will include: The status quo - progress since OceanObs99 Development of the global network of moored and drifting buoys Improvements in buoy and sensor technology Improvements in buoy lifetimes and value for money Progress with communications systems and data management Quality control systems Global coordination and evaluation Data analyses and products Meteorological Oceanographic Climate Interaction with the end-user community and with other observing systems Impacts of data buoy observations NWP Ocean climatologies Climate variability and change Ongoing issues Deployment in data-sparse areas Vandalism Legal issues Future trends and challenges Identifying and responding to new user requirements New variables Enhanced resolution and accuracy Distribution in space and time Quantifying and improving value for money Buoy hardware developments Sensors Energy sources Hulls and moorings Communications channels Buoy software developments In situ sensor data processing Adaptive sampling strategies Deployment issues Improvements in geographical coverage Deployment and re-seeding strategy development Air-deployable packages New platforms Marine animals as data buoys Data collection, processing, dissemination and archival Internet developments, the Semantic Web WIS Developments in NWP and coupled GCMs Conclusions Where will we be by OceanObs19?
