All-Atlantic Ocean Observing System

Abstract
AtlantOS is working to advance the implementation of joint observational elements in the Atlantic Ocean to improve the basin-scale system and its information products. In parallel, it will also develop specific, topic related use cases which attract the engagement of the wider ocean observing community. AtlantOS will focus on following topics.
The AtlantOS program is developing priority actions that support the basin scale implementation and cooperation between networks, a common and interoperable data infrastructure, and sharing of best practices.
In addition, implementing an All-Atlantic Ocean Observing System, the AtlantOS program is supporting several ocean observing use cases with specific thematic foci that showcase the added value of a more integrated ocean observing system.
AtlantOS supports the evolution and implementation of the system as a contribution to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and the GEO Blue Planet initiative and benefits from support of the All-Atlantic Ocean Research Alliance.
The establishment of the AtlantOS program benefited from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme project AtlantOS (grant agreement No. 633211).
The AtlantOS program Secretariat is supported by the German Marine Research Consortium (KDM).
