NERC Thematic Programme Planning Site

www.deos.org

This is the British DEOS planning site, serving the international DEOS community — a collaboration between researchers in marine geology and geophysics, physical, chemical and biological oceanography and air-sea interactions. DEOS seeks to establish a global network of permanent and relocatable multi-disciplinary ocean observing systems featuring real-time telemetry and remote instrument control.

Thematic Programme Proposal Submitted to NERC in Sept 2001 (UPDATED 8-Jan-2003)
