Great Lakes Observing System Revenue and Competitors

The Great Lakes Observing System coordinates Great Lakes data collection, management, and sharing. We serve scientists, decision-makers, business people, resource managers, and recreational users by providing critical current and historical data on lake conditions. This is accomplished by coordinating observations, information technology, data delivery products, and related services all in an effort to enable smarter decisions about how to use, manage, and restore the resources of the Great Lakes. GLOS is one of 11 Regional Associations of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), working to enhance the ability to collect, deliver, and use ocean and Great Lakes information. IOOS is a partnership among federal, regional, academic and private sector parties that work to provide data for tools and forecasts to improve safety, enhance the economy, and protect our environment.
