EuroGOOS 2005

graybeal — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:11:00 -0700

"The Conference will focus on operational oceanography which can be defined as the activity of systematic and long-term routine measurements of the oceans including coastal zones and atmosphere, and their rapid interpretation and dissemination.

"The goal of the Conference is to review the progress of operational oceanography during the past three years on both European and global scale, identifying gaps in the current observing and forecasting capacity and plan the next steps towards efficient marine environment predictions."

Moss Landing Marine Metadata Conference 2003

bowerp — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:28:00 -0700

The purpose of the workshop is to identify and describe important metadata fields for the marine science community. The workshop will include a facilitator and participants from approximately 20 agencies, non-profits, for-profit corporations and academic institutions. The participant list will represent the unique combination of marine science, data management and GIS expertise. The event will focus on identifying the metadata fields and information necessary to describe certain types of marine data.

Relevance

Relevance Estimate: Very High

Includes a track on data grids and semantic web. Heavily focused on ISO, IEC, and related organizations/standards.

Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data

graybeal — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:28:00 -0700

Advances towards an Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) have accelerated efforts to provide concurrent real time data quality information to a widely disparate user community. The first workshop for the Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data (QARTOD-I) for the coastal ocean observing community was hosted by the National Data Buoy Center from Dec 3 to Dec 5, 2003 at the Stennis Space Center.

TOS-UNESCO/IOC 2005 Ocean Research Conference

graybeal — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:11:00 -0700

"The goals of the meeting are to reflect on how far oceanography has come and to help define the coming decade of international collaboration in science and education. The meeting has daily general plenary sessions focused on selected existing and proposed international research programs, as well as numerous contributed oral and poster sessions spanning polar ecosystems, mixing, and turbulence in the oceans; enabling technologies (autonomous underwater vehicles, sensors, remote sensing, data assimilative modeling); and science education and outreach."
