Three global observing systems are currently in the planning and development stage. These are the Global Climate Observing System(GCOS) the Global Ocean Observing System(GOOS), and the Global Terrestrial Observing System(GTOS). Collectively, these systems are called the G3OS. Because of commonalities in the basic needs for collecting and managing both the observations(the data collected by the systems), and information about these observations(such as what insruments were used, observing practices and the quality of the data), the G3OS have agreed to cooperate with a single committee concerned with data and information management. The committee is known as the Joint Data and Information Management Panel(JDIMP). 1, record 6, English, - Joint%20Data%20and%20Information%20Management%20Panel

The CLIVAR Upper Ocean Panel(UOP) met for the first time 18-19 December 1995 at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The meeting was chaired by Dr Ants Leetmaa; a list of Panel members and invited experts can be found in Appendix A. The main objectives of this meeting were to review the Panel' s terms of reference, define immediate goals, outline a strategy to meet these, and begin to develop a list of scientific topics which the Panel will investigate. The first day was devoted largely to discussions of the terms of reference, relevant national and international planning activities, particularly those related to CLIVAR, WOCE and GCOS/GOOS, and the status of the various upper ocean observing systems in place. 1, record 10, English, - CLIVAR%20Upper%20Ocean%20Panel
