JCOMM, the Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology, is an intergovernmental technical experts group supporting coordination of oceanographic and marine meteorological observing, data management and services. The group combines the expertise, technologies and capacity building capabilities of the meteorological and oceanographic communities. JCOMM works at global level improving the coordination and technological capabilities of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC).
