6. 6 Operations Maps –Monthly Maps Consistent JCOMMOPS standard presentation –Quarterly Upper Ocean Thermal Map Feedback is required from panel members on maps and reports –New requirements, appropriateness of content, usefulness etc

7. 7 Proposals Annual SOOP Line Sampling Report instead of Semestrial SOOP Survey Annual Summary Map/s –Either: One map:UOT lines or Two maps: UOT lines and All SOOP Lines? Assess need to improve the efficiency of the SOOP Sampling report

8. 8 Improving the efficiency of the SOOP Sampling report The SOOP Survey aims to address several different objectives A detailed report generated to describe how all of the objectives are being met each semester / year – Are these objectives still current today? – SOOPIP Chair and panel members are asked to assess if this report fulfils its objectives?
