Implement the ocean domain of GCOS-92:JCOMM is identified as the implementing agent for 21 specific actions.
The Plan is in placeGCOS-92:
• International GOOS• GEOSS Ocean Baseline• UNFCCC Priority• G8 Commitment

As of September 2005, all six global in situ implementation
programs are now linked internationally through
WMO/IOC JCOMM coordination
The organizing framework is in place
