JCOMM Structure/Organization

The WMO-IOC Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) was established in 1999 to coordinate worldwide marine meteorological and oceanographic services and their supporting observational, data management and capacity building programmes.

JCOMM is divided into three Programme Areas (PAs)—Observations (OPA), Services (SPA), and Data Management (DMPA), each of which has a number of expert teams or coordination groups to oversee particular activities. Satellite requirements and Capacity-building are cross-cutting themes across the PAs, and the intersessional activities of JCOMM are overseen by a Management Committee (MAN).
