IQuOD 4th Annual Workshop Report: 3rd-5th October 2016 Tokyo, Japan.
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. 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. The IQuOD 4th Workshop goals are to: Provide updates on recent IQuOD activities, particularly SCOR WG 148 and IOC/IODE; progress on the development and implementation of intelligent metadata, uncertainty estimates, duplicates flagging and the platform for AutoQC benchmarking tests; plans for next steps for the task teams; discussion on capacity building; establishing synergies between IQuOD and the XBT Science Team.
