  1. Water temperature metadata pilot project META-T Elanor Gowland, Chair META-T SOT-IV, 16th–21st April 2007

  2. Aim The aim of the water temperature metadata pilot project (META-T PP) is:- To investigate and recommend the use of metadata to improve the quality and usefulness of ocean temperature information, particularly in real-time. Website http://marinemetadata.org/metat

  3. Current status Workshop 28th – 29th March 2006 at ECMWF, Reading, UK 2 documents:- - Categorisation of metadata - Requirements matrix Data stream reports:- • VOS • XBT (SOOP) • Moored buoys • Drifting buoys • Argo

  4. Plans for the future • Each data stream compared to the metadata categorisation and matrix • Recommendations can be made what to include in: - real-time (incl. BUFR, TT-Coding) • delayed-mode transmission formats (push / pull) through documentation and trial • Trial (within data streams) including data transmission and storage (ODAS & NOAA)

  5. Actions from ETMC relating to META-T • Work with the Task Team on Delayed Mode VOS data flow (TT-DMVOS) to change the delayed-mode exchange format • Work on BUFR to ensure metadata fields included for all data streams • Liaise with NMDIS over ODAS metadata database to enable it to meet user requirements and agree a format to exchange / ingest metadata (perhaps XML) – link to SOT TT-Coding?

  6. Current membership - giving links to other groupsincl. SOT

  7. Request for SOT to take part! • Look at website http://marinemetadata.org/metat • Work with current member of META-T or volunteer to take part, particularly help will be required to produce & review documents, develop metadata ingestion / distribution formats and aid trial(s) by providing systems / vessels / platforms, specifications for data storage (server spec), etc

  8. Questions & Comments Or volunteers!
