The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) has evolved from multi-decadal observations of the oceans. These sustained programs provide consistently accurate, public data sets with a wide range of applications. Here we highlight two major GOOS systems: OneArgo (core, Deep and Biogeochemical Argo profiles) and GO-SHIP (global ocean ship-based repeat hydrography). These provide essential global data for the mean and variability of ocean heat, carbon, freshwater, dynamics, and ecosystems. This session invites contributions within the full range of applications using these data, including studies of regional to global ocean currents, transports, overturning, mixing, water properties, carbon cycling, biogeochemistry, and ecosystems, on time scales ranging from weather to climate variability. Contributions are also welcome on observing system design, technology and sensor evolution/development, use of GOOS observations for ocean model validation and data-assimilating models, syntheses of data sets using machine learning, and use of GOOS observations in forecasting and the blue economy.
