EuroGOOS is an Association of Agencies, founded in 1984, to further the goals of GOOS (the Global Ocean Observing System), and in particular the development of operational oceanography in the European sea areas and adjacent oceans. United Kingdom members of EuroGOOS include the Met Office, the Environment Agency (EA) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) (National Oceanography Centre and Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory). EuroGOOS comprises a number of sub-regional programmes and operational oceanographic systems, which produce, and make available, operational ocean data and forecasts. These provide a European contribution to the global system.

• North-west shelf Operational Oceanographic System (NOOS)
• Baltic Operational Oceanographic System (BOOS)
• Mediterranean Forecasting System Pilot Project (MFSPP)
  

Crucial to the development of operational oceanography in the European area is the exchange of ocean data and products between EuroGOOS members. The EuroGOOS Data Policy has been developed to help facilitate this exchange, and all members are contributing to a EuroGOOS Data Catalogue which lists those data and products available for exchange.

• EuroGOOS members data catalogues
