JCOMMOPS Status

A modest structure that has grown up substantially

JCOMMOPS has just open a new chapter at the service of the GOOS/JCOMM networks.

IOC Assembly June 2015

Thank you

"JCOMMOPS finally has the means to achieve its full potential, with a strategic position in one of the world capitals of the blue economy, with an information system anchored in an operational structure in Toulouse, with a closely-knit and dedicated team that is as creative

as it is experienced, and with the strong support of local communities, the centre will start a new adventure at the service of

ocean observation”
