COSS-TT meeting – June 2025

Overview and meeting objectives
Coastal Ocean and Shelf Seas Task Team – International Coordination Meeting (COSS-TT ICM)
Ifremer, Brest-Plouzané, France
17-20 June 2025
The main goal and central mission of the COSS-TT is international coordination in support of new science and expertise leading to improvements in coastal ocean prediction and forecast systems. COSS-TT works within OceanPredict towards the provision of a sound scientific and expert basis for sustainable multidisciplinary downscaling and forecasting activities in the world’s regional and coastal oceans. The strategic goal of the COSS-TT is to help achieve a truly seamless framework from the global to the coastal/littoral scale. A major contribution is to address the particular challenges on monitoring and forecasting in coastal areas and regional seas, where the majority of human marine activities take place. As these are also the areas of enhanced exploitation of marine resources, the COSS-TT has a mission well aligned with society’s needs and benefits.
International coordination meetings of the OceanPredict Coastal Ocean and Shelf Seas Task Team (COSS-TT) gather a broad community of scientists, engineers and experts around presentations and discussion themes in support of coastal ocean forecasting. The COSS-TT is well-aligned with relevant international initiatives under the UN Ocean Decade, such as the CoastPredict program, the SynObs project, the Decadal Collaborative Center for Ocean Prediction and the Decadal Collaborative Center for Coastal Resilience.
