U.S. GO-SHIP
(U.S. Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program)
What Is U.S. GO-SHIP?
US GO-SHIP is part of the international GO-SHIP network of sustained hydrographic sections, supporting:
-
Physical oceanography
-
The carbon cycle
-
Marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems
-
Global ocean/climate observing system
The US program is sponsored by US CLIVAR and OCB.
Funded by the National Science Foundation and NOAA.
