5th Meeting of the Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data Working Group

The fifth meeting of the Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data (QARTOD) Working Group will be held November 17-19, 2009 at Omni Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.

QARTOD is composed of oceanographers, data managers and data providers from agencies interested in addressing the quality assurance and quality control issues of evolving ocean observing systems, such as the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) community.

The QARTOD V meeting will focus on the quality control of some different physical ocean parameters from past QARTOD meetings (e.g., conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and pH) as well as provide additional input for parameters such as waves and ocean currents to complete the QARTOD to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) or Q2O effort. More information on Q2O can be found at http://q2o.who.edu. We will also explore ways to expand our interaction with similar international efforts.

Please register by 1 October 2009 at http://qartod.org and forward this announcement to others who share in our goals & interests.
