We rely on the ocean for food, for energy, for transportation, for recreation, and for living and cultural services. Ocean observing has been improved in the past few years through several projects and efforts, notably the Galway and Bel\u00e9m Statements.<\/p><p>The are many relevant international agreements including the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Our use of the ocean continues to grow. Indeed, it is expected that the Blue Economy will double its fraction of global value added in the coming decade, outperforming the rest of the economy (OECD 2016), reaching $US 3 trillion. This growth comes with impacts on fisheries, coastal development, pollution and climate change.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, the ocean observing enterprise is fragmented. It is not sustainable and does not fully meet our needs. There remain many gaps and challenges. We need to do better. We need an ocean observing system that brings together all the partners interested and capable of contributing. We need to build partnerships for sustainability. We need to take full advantage of our technological capability. We need ocean observing that meets societal needs.<\/p><p>There is, nonetheless, a significant amount of ocean observing in the Atlantic, and elsewhere, and we do have many capable well-organized systems, e.g. US IOOS and EuroGOOS, coastal observing systems that serve national and regional needs. \u00a0International programs, such as Argo, GO-SHIP and GLOSS and others are very effective.<\/p><p>The observing, data, modeling and product development communities have many strengths and do provide useful information services for coastal resource management and many other ocean users. The strategic vision for the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) recognizes that we need to \u2018embrace new observations and data\u2019 to achieve our goals. We must look beyond our present systems, to a coordinated and integrated international program that takes full advantage of our capabilities and rewards and recognizes the contributions of a diverse group of partners, from the coast into the open ocean, covering the South and the North Atlantic.<\/p><p>The AtlantOS program has the ambition\u00a0to connect existing systems, facilitate platform and information sharing and improve the system efficiency. A comprehensive All-Atlantic Ocean Observing System should benefit all of us living, working and relying on the ocean. AtlantOS focuses on the basin-scale of the Atlantic, aligned with ocean observing in the neighboring seas and cooperating with global observing networks. AtlantOS will move beyond the status quo building upon present efforts and meeting societal needs with a robust and sustainable system and improved data sharing.<\/p><p>The AANChOR international partnership is an important venue for enhancing Atlantic Ocean observing, forming new partnerships and working towards the vision of sustainable ocean observing.<\/p><p>There are many different aspects to consider:<\/p><ul><li>The technology of making the observation.<\/li><li>Data management.<\/li><li>The analysis of data to provision of information services.<\/li><li>Numerical modeling of ocean processes.<\/li><li>Development of governance structures for the observing system.<\/li><li>The formation of international partnerships.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3949e3a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3949e3a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75627ff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"75627ff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3619701 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3619701\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b3ad4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1b3ad4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Initiatives\n<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-550dc6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"550dc6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"slider_head\" class=\"publications_container\"><p>No initiatives to show.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-551c103 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"551c103\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c12a738 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c12a738\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Publications\n<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c84001 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c84001\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"slider_headb\" class=\"publications_container\"><p>No publications to show.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Earth is really an ocean planet, as the world\u2019s ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth&#8217;s surface.
