Baltic Operational Oceanographic System
BOOS
• BOOS is a formal association
of institutes from Sweden,
Finland, Russia, Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Germany and Denmark taking
national responsibility for
operational oceanographic
services, which shall support
the protection of lives and
properties and the promotion
of the development of society
• 17 Member Institutes and 3
associate members
BOOS Vision
• The vision of BOOS is to provide an integrated service
to marine users and policy makers in support of safe
and efficient off-shore activities, environmental
management, security, and sustainable use of marine
resources.
• BOOS aims to develop a single system for operational
monitoring and forecasting of the Baltic Sea and a coordinated network of coastal systems. The systems will
merge and assimilate diverse data from space-borne
sensors and in situ measurement networks in order to
monitor the Baltic Sea physics, biogeochemistry and
ecosystems and to provide forecasts on prediction time
scales ranging from days to months.
