AniBOS, an emerging network of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), will provide freely available oceanographic measurements across the hard-to-reach world’s polar and tropical oceans collected through bio-logging, the deployment of sensors on marine animals.
These data compliments conventional approaches by providing both physical and ecological data in ocean regions directly at the scale and resolution at which animals move. AniBOS will fill this gap by integrating animal collected data within Global Ocean Observing System to improve our ability to observe and predict global climate processes and animal behaviour for societal benefit.
Start Date: 01/01/2021
End Date: 15/12/2030
This project is hosted by the Ocean Decade programme Ocean Observing CoDesign – Evolving ocean observing for a sustainable future
