Our major long-term goals for this project are: 1. Develop improved assessment of the ocean science, technology, and operations (OSTO) workforce. 2. Anticipate future requirements for this workforce. 3. Identify educational processes needed to develop this workforce. Our major objectives are: 1. Characterize the present workforce that supports ocean observing, analysis, and forecasting operations (OOAF). 2. Characterize the present workforce that supports OSTO components that are similar to the OOAF ...
The goals of this workforce study are to (1) produce a more complete description of the present state of the ocean science, technology, and operations (OSTO) workforce; (2) anticipate future developments and predict the evolution of this workforce; and (3) characterize the educational programs that will be needed to respond to expected workforce changes. Initially, the project will focus on the workforce required to support current and planned ocean observing ...
