What Does FTOS Stand For?

FTOS stands for FGGE Tropical Observing System

FTOS, or FGGE Tropical Observing System, is a comprehensive network designed to monitor and collect data on tropical atmospheric phenomena. Established as part of the First Global GARP Experiment (FGGE), FTOS aims to enhance our understanding of tropical weather patterns and their global implications. By integrating a range of observational technologies and methodologies, FTOS supports research in meteorology, climate science, and environmental monitoring, ultimately contributing to more accurate weather forecasting and climate prediction models.
