Global Perspectives on Observing Ocean Boundary Current Systems

2019
Ocean boundary currentsystems are key components of the climate system, are home to highly productive ecosystems, and have numerous societal impacts. Establishment of a global networkof boundary current observingsystems is a critical part of ongoing development of the Global Ocean Observing System. The characteristics of boundary currentsystems are reviewed, focusing on scientific and societal motivations for sustained observing. Techniquescurrently used to observe boundary currentsystems are reviewed, followed by a census of the current state of boundary current observingsystems globally. Next steps in the development of boundary current observingsystems are considered, leading to several specific recommendations.
