The CORIOLIS component « Observing the Ocean » coordinates the acquisition of in-situ measurements through the following priorities :
- sustain and enhance the Argo network
- acquire in-situ data from ships (VOS and research vessels)
- maintain the SO-SSS network, for collecting in-situ surface data during transit of research or voluntary merchant vessels
- maintain PIRATA observation system, for collecting in-situ data from a moored array in Tropical Atlantic
- deploy surface drifters and moored buoys as a contribution to DBCP and OceanSITES
- operate and maintain the French Glider fleet
- Acquire in situ data from sea mammals in high latitudes
- Operate and maintain high frequency coastal networks
- Operate and maintain french sea level network
The general objectives of this component are to coordinate the French contribution to the observation of the WMO-IOC Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM), and maintain networks in operation at global and national scale.
