GOOS Mexico

Potentialities and Perspectives

Networks that should be part of GOOSMEX:

• Sismological, Tsunamis, Sea level

• Meteorological (Coastal and buoys)

• Waves, Extreme Events

• Drifting and Moored buoys (Coastal currents SST, SSS, surface and

subsurface)

• HAB´s, Bacteriological Monitoring in Beaches

• Coral reefs observation network

• Carbon fluxes (pCO2, sources and sinks)

• More colaboration with international programs for deep ocean

• Sea level• Moored buoys• Tsunamis• Currents,

Hydrography• Coral reefs• Red tides

• Radar antennas• Coastal erosion• Bathymetry• Water Quality

(enterococos)

• Ensenada, B. C. • San Felipe, B. C.• Golfo de Santa Clara• Puerto Peñasco• Guaymas• Bahía de los Ángeles• Cabo San Lucas• La Paz• Mazatlán• Manzanillo• Puerto Vallarta • Acapulco

• Calica• Cozumel• Puerto Progreso• Cd. Del Carmen• Veracruz• Tuxpan• Cd. Madero
