Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services Strategic Plan, 2010-2015.

摘要

We are guided by the principles of science, service, and stewardship. CO-OPS is at the center of NOAAs vision for an informed society that uses a comprehensive understanding of the role of the oceans, coasts, and atmosphere in the global ecosystem to make the best social and economic decisions. Our mission of collecting, analyzing, and communicating oceanographic information is as relevant today as it was 200 years ago. CO-OPS combines a long legacy of history, reliability, and proven approaches to oceanographic measurement and analysis with innovative ideas to anticipate and respond to customer needs. We set standards for data collection, processing, and analysis. These national standards are based on sound science, good and long records, and accountability. We are an endto- end organization that provides integrated products and services for many practical applications.
