SOOS Capability Working Groups

Capability Working Groups (CWGs) develop important capabilities for SOOS, such as:

• Developing and implementing technologies
• Improving observational design (e.g., identifying key variables), efficiency and coverage
• Developing associated methods for managing and disseminating information
