  abstract = {{T}his paper presents the new international {TPOS}2020 project: why it has been established, what are its scientific objectives, its proposed organization, governance, and what the expected outcomes are. {I}t is aiming at informing {C}oriolis, {M}ercator {O}c{\'e}an, and the operational oceanography communities, all concerned, and involved in generating interest and contributions to the project. {B}uilding upon its scientific activities in the {P}acific and the surrounding countries, the {F}rench community is willing to take an active role in this international project. {T}he {TPOS} 2020 {P}roject is a focused, finite term project, which began in 2014 and will be completed in 2020. {I}t will evaluate, and where necessary provide guidance, to change all elements that contribute to the {T}ropical {P}acific {O}bserving {S}ystem ({TPOS}) based on a modern understanding of tropical {P}acific science. {L}earning lessons from the great success-and finally partial collapse- of the {TAO}/{TRITON} array, the project objective is to build a renewed, integrated, internationally-coordinated and sustainable observing system in the {T}ropical {P}acific, meeting both the needs of climate research and operational forecasting systems. {T}he scientific objectives are: - {T}o redesign and refine the {TPOS} to observe {E}l {N}iño {S}outhern {O}scillation ({ENSO}) and advance scientific understanding of its causes, - {T}o determine the most efficient and effective observational solutions to support prediction systems for ocean, weather and climate services, - {T}o advance understanding of tropical {P}acific physical and biogeochemical variability and predictability. {TPOS}2020 is coordinated by a steering committee with task teams and working groups working on specific aspects of the observing system. {S}ince much of the use and benefit of {TPOS} data will be achieved through model assimilation and syntheses, the operational modeling centers are considered key partners. {T}he {TPOS}2020 project also opens partnerships with other global ocean observing communities: the meteorological community, and the coastal and regional ocean communities. {TPOS} 2020 embraces the integration of complementary sampling technologies; it will consider the different observing system components as an integrated whole, targeting robustness and sustainability, along with a developed governance and coordination.},
