The Oceanography Society (TOS) meetings, starting with the inaugural meeting in Monterey in 1989, have become recognized for their unique non-concurrent plenary sessions followed by contributed posters designed to highlight specific science results relevant to the plenary sessions. The plenary session talks are designed for interdisciplinary audiences to excite and interest the broad spectrum of scientific and technical expertise within the oceanographic community.
