"Increasingly, the world’s oceans are telling us our climate system may be
changing faster and more dramatically than expected.

These new insights are made using a vast global network of instruments – from
drifting floats and moored buoys to research vessels and underwater gliders –
that quietly and continuously feed data to scientists.

Known as the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS), it provides the fine-grained
data that scientists need to detect changes, test climate models and refine
projections of future risk.

But now there is rising concern this system itself is at risk – just when the
world needs it most."
