(see Tables 2 and 3, page 46)

Quality control codes are numbers 0-9 with meaning, real-time comments, and delayed comments. Parameter codes are 4-letters for temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pressure, salinity.

DMAC Implementation Plan

The DMAC Implementation Plan contains an integrated architecture for data management and communications in a national (U.S.), sustained ocean observing system. It is detailed, comprehensive, and mature, having been through many review cycles by many reviewers.

There is a lot of discussion of metadata in the DMAC Implementation Plan.

OceanSITES is a project to assimilate measurements from long-term ocean reference stations measuring dozens of variables and monitoring the full depth of the ocean from air-sea interactions down to 5,000 meters. The OceanSITES data managment team has developed specific guidance for the implementation of netCDF conventions.

Q2O

ngalbraith — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 08:13:57 -0700

As the scientific community prepares to participate in the development of ocean observing systems and systems of systems, data managers are struggling with the need to provide relevant and unambiguous information to enable selective evaluation of data quality in real time.

QARTOD: Quality Assurance of Real-Time Oceanographic Data

graybeal — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:34:00 -0800

QARTOD is a community-driven group that considers issues related to performing real-time quality assurance and quality control for oceanographic data. They have meetings on specific topics in this context.

Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data

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.

UNOLS Data Management Best Practices Committee

graybeal — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:36:00 -0800

The UNOLS (University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System) Data Management Best Practices committee was established by the UNOLS Council to advise the council on best practices for the UNOLS-based data systems.

Stephen Miller of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and Robert Arko of Lamont-Dougherty Earth Observatory, are the chairs of the UNOLS Data Management Best Management committee. You may contact them for more information or visit the group's web site.
