In June 2006, a Memorandum Of Understanding (MoU) was approved and signed by the European CoOperation in Science and Technology (COST) Committee of Senior Officials (CSO) in Brussels. The MOU provides the operational basis for research into the primary aim of COST Action 735; "To develop tools for assessing global air-sea fluxes of climate and air pollution relevant gases". Under the COST Action 735 program, an estimated 90kEUR per annum of research activity has been devoted over the five year program. To date 18 countries have signed on to the agreement and are collaborating in this joint effort to quantitatively evaluate the air-sea fluxes which have a great influence on the Earth's climate.

The COST Action 735 framework seeks to facilitate the knowledge sharing of the independent research projects around Europe and work towards common goals as a collective. The COST Action 735 framework defines three working groups which identify areas of pressing importance in furthering our understanding of how the air-sea interaction affects the Earth's climate. Each of these working groups have specific aims and work towards developing air-sea flux products.
