CLIVAR-GSOP Coordinated Quality-Control of Global Subsurface Ocean Climate Observations. International Quality-Controlled Ocean Database Inaugural meeting.
Motivation: The historical archive of global ocean subsurface temperature contains a large proportion of poorly quality-controlled as well as biased data. As a result, efforts to analyze past ocean change and variability are confounded, as is the use of ocean data assimilation systems (e.g. Bluelink, SODA, etc). Currently many data centers perform automated ‘quick and dirty QC’ – redoing the same job poorly many times around the world. There have been no previous efforts to form a clean and definitive and very much needed historical archive. No single group has the manpower and resources to do the job properly – thus international cooperation is needed. Final outcome: A high-quality historical subsurface ocean temperature (salinity) global dataset, along with the most complete metadata information and formal error measurements for climate research needs. Workshop: To start discussions on the internationally coordinated strategy to deliver and maintain a historical subsurface ocean temperature (salinity) archive of the highest quality possible, we will be holding an initial workshop in Hobart (12-14 June), with support from CLIVAR, US CLIVAR, and CSIRO.
