  1. 2nd international Conference for GODAR-WESTPAC JODC, Japan Coast Guard, Tokyo 2004

  2. Context and Overall Objectives • The Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD) Project is an IOC programme designed as an end to end system for data collected by ships at sea. • The goal of the GOSUD Project is to develop and implement a data system for surface ocean data, • to acquire and manage these data • to provide a mechanism to integrate these data with other types of data collected in the world oceans. For the purposes of this Project, the data concerned are those collected as a platform is underway and from the ocean surface down to about 15m depth.

  3. Project Objectives • To organize the data that are presently collected and to work with data collectors to improve practices to meet the sampling and data accuracy set forth by GOOS • to build a comprehensive archive containing sufficient meta-data that users will have clear information about accuracy and instrumentation • to add value to the archive by refining and standardizing existing QA procedures on RT and DM data • to provide data and information to users in timely fashion • to return information to data collectors about the data they provide • to work with scientific organizations interested in surace data to provide products to a broader community The initial project plan is available from the web site: www.ifremer.fr/sismer/program/gosud/documentation.htm

  4. GOSUD Project Data Flow

  5. GOSUD Data In WESTPAC Region received in RT since 1989

  6. GOSUD Real Time Quality Checks • Test 1 : platform identification • Test 2 : impossible date • Test 3 : impossible location • Test 4 : Position on Land Test • Test 5 : impossible speed • Test 6 : global ranges • Test 7 : regional ranges • Test 8 : spike test • Test 9 : gradient • Test 10 : climatology • Test 11 : instrument comparison  the result is a quality flag according to GTSPP flag scale

  7. GODAR Data received in DM

  8. Climatologies from the ECOP project http://www.ird.nc/ECOP & CDrom

  9. JODC http://jdoss1.jodc.go.jp/cgi-bin/1997/bss

  10. GOSUD Project Data Flow

  11. Links and Cooperation • ARGO:Constant coopération. When combining TSG with surface data from profiles, better statistical computations and climatological analysis can be done • Satellite Community: presentation of GOSUD to the Aquarius/SMOS/Hydros joint meeting, April 2004. There is a strong interest in the GOSUD project, both from NASA and ESA, for calibration/validation of a sensor they are designing that can measure ocean surface salinity from space: • http://aquarius.gsfc.nasa.gov • http://www.esa.int/essal_P/smos.html • CLIVAR : presentation of GOSUD to CLIVAR Ocean Observation Workshop, March 2004– cooperation developpingGOSUD offer to operate as an SSS DAC for CLIVAR • SAMOS (Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographical Systems), CLIVAR sub-project with similar objectives, prioritary on meteorological data. cooperation in development to standardize QA and optimize the data circulation • WESTPAC, November 2004: Cooperation hoped – GOSUD Steering Committee would very much welcome a WESTPAC representative in the Committee.
