Purpose of the GOSIC: provides convenient, central, one-stop access to data and information identified by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and the Global Terrestrial Observing System (GTOS) and their partner programs, such as the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) and regional observing systems, such as the GOOS Regional Alliances (GRA).
Note from the GOSIC Administrator: (1) The GOSIC Portal is being converted into Drupal and will get much needed updated look and feel and functionality. (2) The GOSIC content is presently being updated. (3) A wiki page is being implemented for comment and dataset input into the Essential Climate Variables Matrix. GIS visualization of the ECVs will be added to the wiki page as well. This will allow overlay display of datasets for each variable and show gaps in coverage. This project is in cooperation with the WMO/GCOS, NCDC and the GOSIC.
