Funded Projects
The Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program funds research projects that improve our understanding of the global ocean.
We work with researchers at NOAA’s programs and labs, such as the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), as well as researchers from institutions across the country. Learn more about the variety of research we fund from the tropics to the Arctic in the table below.
