OceanObs'19 is the next in a decadal conference series, which aims to galvanize the ocean observing community ranging from scientists to end users. OceanObs’19 seeks to improve response to scientific and societal needs of a fit-for-purpose integrated ocean observing system, for better understanding the environment of the Earth, monitoring climate, and informing adaptation strategies as well as the sustainable use of ocean resources.

The key questions during OceanOb's19 are:

• Information: how do we meet future needs?
• Interoperability: how can we better communicate among observing systems to deliver products for users that follow usability and other best practices across the globe?
• Innovation: how can we spur innovation in observing technologies, products, and user services?
• Integration: how can we balance user and operator needs, capabilities, and knowledge worldwide?

The meeting is expecting to draw over 1200 participants from all over the world. INTAROS will participate in various sessions, particularly those focused on the importance of ocean observation in the Arctic.
