New IOOS web

ioosbanner.jpgOn 26 June 2009, NOAA Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Programme launched a new web site that highlights IOOS and its partners. The reorganized site will feature quick links to information and tools on observations, data management, commmunications, regional interagency programmes, and global observations.
To reflect the multiagency relationship involved with IOOS, the web address changed from "ioos.noaa.gov" to www.ioos.gov.
The new site highlights the partnerships that are working to make IOOS successful and provides fast and easy access to information on, or related to IOOS.
