Gliders

EuroGOOS Gliders Task Team was established in 2015 to sustain and support the European part of the global glider community and contribute to the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and the framework for European Ocean Observing System (EOOS). 

EuroGOOS Gliders Task Team works to:

• Support the coordination of the European glider activities;
• Assist the standardization of glider operations, data and applications;
• Ensure data availability for the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS), via the EuroGOOS regional data portals (ROOS) in particular;
• Generate and promote best practices in applications, technologies, data management, and scientific development;
• Jointly contribute to European projects.
