DATA INTEGRATION DEMONSTRATIONQA/QC Focus National Federation Of Regional Associations Quality Assurance of Real Time Ocean Data QARTOD II Feb 28-March 2, 2005
Demonstration Focus • Nov, 2004, Regional Association workshop held at Coastal Services Center to enhance coordination, especially data integration, amongst its partners and other collaborators. • One of the key outcomes of the workshop – Data Integration Demonstration (IOD II) - National display portal expanded from Interoperability Demo I . Demonstration theme should be marine conditions (wind, waves, currents, sea surface temperature, chlorophyll)
Working Groups Formed Tijuana River Jan 2005 Water Quality • Goal Focus • Metadata • QA/QC • Data assembly and aggregation • Common Interface for Display • Communication Facilitation
IOD IIQuality Assurance & Quality Control Provide guidelines for QA/QC for the primary parameters as specified (waves, wind, surface currents, sea surface temp, chlorophyll) Build on framework as proposed by DMAC and QARTOD. Assure that any relevant QA/QC specifications are included with the metadata
Timeline By May 2nd - (1st Quarter) • In accordance with DMAC & QARTOD, develop & publish guidelines for each parameter utilized. • Work with metadata group to assure consistency & integration of QA/QC specification. 2nd Quarter – • Work with data assembly & aggregation group to assure QA/QC 3rd Quarter – • Complete QA/QC of national & regional level data products 4th Quarter – • Participate in review of final product.
What can QARTOD II do for the IOD? • Define Quality Assurance • Define Quality Control • Define standards or “best practices” for waves & currents. • Define Quality flag descriptors • Any Volunteers for the QA/QC Workgroup???!
