Interagency Working Group on Ocean Observations (IWGOO) Support Office

随着海洋观测界进入IOOS的下一阶段，联邦机构将继续致力于彼此之间的合作以及与整个海洋界的合作伙伴的合作。联邦机构合作伙伴之间的协调仍将由国际地球观测组织(IWGOO)和美国国家海洋和大气局作为IOOS的指定联邦牵头机构负责。IWGOO是一个正式的特许机构，将确保IOOS度过这一过渡期。IWGOO决定，一些Ocean.US活动将在IWGOO的领导下继续进行。这项提议要求为设在海洋领导联盟的机构间海洋观测工作组支助办公室提供部分支持。IWGOO支助办公室就IOOS的所有规划活动向联邦机构提供行政援助。

As the ocean observing community moves forward into the next phase of IOOS, federal agencies remain committed to cooperating among themselves and with partners throughout the ocean community. Coordination among the federal agency partners will remain the responsibility of the (IWGOO) along with NOAA as the designated lead federal agency for IOOS. The IWGOO is a formal chartered body, and will see IOOS through this transition period. The IWGOO decided that some Ocean.US activities would continue under the leadership of the IWGOO. This proposal requests funds for partial support for the Interagency Working Group on Ocean Observations (IWGOO) Support Office hosted at the Consortium for Ocean Leadership.Broader ImpactsInteragency collaboration is essential to achieve ocean science and technology priorities and, in particular, for planning and coordination of an ocean observation system. The IWGOO support office provides administrative assistance the federal agencies on all of the IOOS planning activities.
