Over the past decade the international ocean community has largely succeeded in the implementation of the Global OceanObserving System as was planned in the OceanObs'99 meeting. Today, we now enjoy a sophisticated in situ observing systemsof an Argo array in excess of 3000 floats that spans the worlds ocean basins, a surface drifting buoy network on the order of 1250floats as well as repeat XBT lines and an expanding mooring network in the equatorial waveguides through the TAO/TRITON,PIRATA and now RAMA mooring arrays. The introduction of gliders, OceanSITES and HF radars continues to show an everincreasing range of instrumentation to complement and extend GOOS over the next decade, the subject of the forthcomingOceanObs'09.
