Background

In January, 2008, the IOC and JCOMM convened a workshop entitled the IODE/JCOMM Forum on Oceanographic Data Management and Exchange Standards (IOC Workshop Rept. 206), to consider selected principal issues on establishing marine data standards, with the goal of furthering marine data interoperability. In particular the aim of the workshop was to get broad agreement and commitment to adopt a number of standards related to ocean data management and exchange, thereby assembling not only the agreed conditions by which we operate, but in fact enact these agreements in the participants' respective organizations

Standards Recommendation

Mr. Loic Petit de la Villeon (France IFREMER) introduced this item and moderated discussions. He reviewed the various quality control procedures that exist for verifying surface (and near surface) observations of temperature and salinity.

Decisions

  • The meeting did not identify a recommended standard;
  • It was agreed that Mr. Keeley (Canada MEDS) and Mr. Reed (Australia AODCJF) will request GOSUD (through Mr. L. Petit de la Villeon, GOSUD Co-Chair) to revise their QC documentation
  • It was agreed that the revised GOSUD QC documentation should be added to the Ocean Data Standards reference web site
