The 6th Organising Committee telecon for CLIVAR-GOOS workshop was organized on December 16, 2021, with the participation of Weidong Yu (Co-chair, OOPC), Edem Mahu (Co-chair, invited), Nick Hardman-Mountford (IORP), Maria Paz Chidichimo (ARP), Ivonne Montes (PRP), Enrique Cruchister (OMDP), Hindumathi Palanisamy (GSOP & WCRP Secretariat), and Jing Li from ICPO. The meeting focused on the discussion of the workshop agenda, with an emphasis on Day 1: Societal and scientific drivers of regional ocean observing systems. A basic structure of the opening session, plenary session and breakout session on Day 1 was proposed. Major uptakes from the discussions include:
- An opening session presented by high level speakers was proposed by Nick HM, with some possible speakers identified.
- Following up to the discussion in last telecon, two global perspective talks have been agreed: one is on the UN Ocean Decade, to invite a speaker from GOOS to talk about coastal focused actions of the Decade; another one is a joint presentation highlighting the outcomes of the decadal reviews in the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, led/participated in by CLIVAR Community.
- Flash talks from developing countries will be arranged after the two global perspective talks. Possible countries/organisations/speakers were discussed around different ocean basins.
- The breakout session in the afternoon will be arranged by three basins, and questions for discussion will incorporate the needs identified by the plenary talks.
- The next step is to further identify speakers and topics and finalize the agenda.
- The next telecon will be organised in January 2022.
