  abstract = {{T}he {I}ndian {O}cean is warming faster than any of the global oceans and its climate is uniquely driven by the presence of a landmass at low latitudes, which causes monsoonal winds and reversing currents. {T}he food, water, and energy security in the {I}ndian {O}cean rim countries and islands are intrinsically tied to its climate, with marine environmental goods and services, as well as trade within the basin, underpinning their economies. {H}ence, there are a range of societal needs for {I}ndian {O}cean observation arising from the influence of regional phenomena and climate change on, for instance, marine ecosystems, monsoon rains, and sea-level. {T}he {I}ndian {O}cean {O}bserving {S}ystem ({I}nd{OOS}), is a sustained observing system that monitors basin-scale ocean-atmosphere conditions, while providing flexibility in terms of emerging technologies and scientific and societal needs, and a framework for more regional and coastal monitoring. {T}his paper reviews the societal and scientific motivations, current status, and future directions of {I}nd{OOS}, while also discussing the need for enhanced coastal, shelf, and regional observations. {T}he challenges of sustainability and implementation are also addressed, including capacity building, best practices, and integration of resources. {T}he utility of {I}nd{OOS} ultimately depends on the identification of, and engagement with, end-users and decision-makers and on the practical accessibility and transparency of data for a range of products and for decision-making processes. {T}herefore we highlight current progress, issues and challenges related to end user engagement with {I}nd{OOS}, as well as the needs of the data assimilation and modeling communities. {K}nowledge of the status of the {I}ndian {O}cean climate and ecosystems and predictability of its future, depends on a wide range of socio-economic and environmental data, a significant part of which is provided by {I}nd{OOS}.},
