Oceanographic and Marine Meteorological Observations in the Polar Regions - A report to the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology.

Abstract

In Geneva, December 6-8, 1999, a meeting of experts was held to discuss a JCOMM/GOOS Polar Region Strategy. It was agreed on the importance of developing an integrated Polar Region Strategy Document for JCOMM. This document serves as primary guidance for the work of the JCOMM working group and also proved useful to GOOS in developing its work related to polar regions. Included in this document are reports on oceanographic and marine meteorological observations in the polar regions.
