IQuOD 3rd Annual Workshop Report. 3-4 December, 2015, Hamburg, Germany

The overarching goal of the IQuOD initiative is to create the most complete, consistent and high quality ocean subsurface temperature database with intelligent metadata and uncertainty estimates for each observation. IQuOD will develop international best practice approaches to data quality control and all data and code will be made freely available to the international research community. The approach will be developed focussing on temperature, but the aim is to provide a template so that the database can be extended into other variables later, such as salinity and oxygen. IQuOD is organised in to a number of different Task Teams. The basic format of the meeting was for each of the groups above to report back on progress and plans The focus of the 3rd IQuOD workshop was on the delivery of a first data product. Rather than being a release of a v1.0 IQuOD database, this will instead be an IQuOD “flavour” of WOD – with intelligent metadata and uncertainty information available as an optional data stream.
