#COP27 #EarthInfoDay @anyawaite: most carbon observations are land or atmosphere, but the ocean stores 80% of the Earth's total carbon, of which over 90% is in the deep. #OceanObs are a vital part of an integrated Global Climate Observing System GCOS Climate

.The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Essential Ocean Variables #EOV for #OceanObs integrate with land and atmospheric variables to make the #GCOS Essential Climate Variables #ECV. Essential means both feasible to measure and high impact for climate action.

#COP27 #EarthInfoDay: both The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) co-chairs Anya Waite and Toste Tanhua on stage for a panel on observations for #Adaptation and #EarlyWarning, with great insight from the speakers on the combination of natural system data with human data to identify risk and generate #action

#COP27 #EarthInfoDay moderators Lars Peter Riishojgaard & Anya Waite wrap up: Good observations can mobilize strong #climateaction. A global goal on obs can help ensure adequate coverage & improve the fragility of the system, especially those parts that remain research-funded.

#COP27 #EarthInfoDay was translated into an infographic in real time by the incredible @stephaniesaloli and @hazelahurley. Bravo! #ClimateVisualStories

Our vision to build the global ocean observing system is a bold, urgent, and achievable step that we can take to mitigate and adapt to #ClimateChange. Thank you everyone who joined GOOS and POGO at our #COP27 side event today!

🚨🌍 Global Carbon Budget 2022, out now!🌍🚨 It provides the latest update on how we humans have tampered with Earth's remarkable system of #carbon stocks and flows. So what are the take-homes from our latest update? GlobalCarbonProject Pierre Friedlingstein

Lively discussion around GCOS Implementation Plan today at WMO-IPCC-MERI Pavilion #COP27 Special thanks to all the speakers Anthony Rea Albert Fischer Han Dolman Sabrina Speich Clement Albergel

Thank you, David Obura David Obura, for the strong call out for sustained ocean observations and the need to link these to #biodiversity indicators. UNESCO Ocean and GOOS are dedicated to support the delivery of ocean information needed in this process. #COP15

Consider applying!

The Systematic Observations Financing Facility #SOFF signs agreements with peer advisors, who are twinning with beneficiary countries to improve the flow of data for Numerical Weather Prediction #NWP, during the ongoing 76th World Meteorological Organization Executive Council. #EarlyWarningsforAll

Amazing animation of a year of weather! See the daily beat of tropical convection, tropical cyclones, mid-latitude storms & the seasonal shift in monsoons. Satellite obs, coordinated through #CGMS, are a key piece of the World Meteorological Organization Integrated Observing System #WIGOS

WMO's Executive Council has endorsed a planned new Global Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Infrastructure combining satellite and surface observations to support #ClimateAction to reduce record levels of heat-trapping gases like CO2 bit.ly/3ISzZ15

WMO’s Executive Council has endorsed UN #EarlyWarningsForAll initiative as a top priority. We will work with partners to try to ensure that everyone is protected by life-saving early warnings in the next 5 years. 🔗bit.ly/3INmwaQ

SOFF is helping World Meteorological Organization to build a truly global observing network for weather and climate reanalysis, filling persistent geographic gaps in observations, giving benefit to all for early warning of hazards. #EW4ALL

Tomorrow is the International Day Against #Homophobia #Biphobia #Intersexphobia and #Transphobia #IDAHOBIT #IDAHOBIT2023

New #StateofClimate update from WMO and @MetOffice: 66% chance that annual global surface temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of next 5 years 98% likelihood that at least one of next five years will be warmest on record.

Prof. Celeste Saulo, director of SMN Argentina, has been appointed as WMO Secretary-General. She will take office on 1 January 2024. She is the first woman to hold the position. She won the requisite 2/3 majority of votes at #MeteoWorld
