Ship Of Opportunity Programme (SOOP) Implementation Panel

The Ship of Opportunity Programme (SOOP) is an international and operational program directed primarily towards the continued operational maintenance and co-ordination of the ship of opportunity network. Observations made are primarily temperature from XBTs but temperature and other data types from instruments such as thermosalinographs, XCTD, CTD, ADCP, pCO2 and phytoplankton counters are also measured.
