VERTIGO dataOCB database status update Cyndy Chandler Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Data Management Office 3 October 2006 VERTIGO PI meeting Woods Hole, MA, USA
Outline • Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) • VERTIGO and OCB • JGOFS relational database engine • OCB - VERTIGO database status Chandler, WHOI OCB
Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry • OCB collaboratory one year proposal funded by NSF in May 2005 • PIs: Dave Glover, Ken Buesseler, Scott Doney • original proposal was entitled “Coordination and Data Management for Ocean Carbon Cycle Research • data management support for targeted programs to improve accessibility to ocean biogeochemistry data • scientific workshop on recent advances and future opportunities (held at WHOI, August, 2005) • name changed from OCCC/OCCR to OC&B in June 2005and to OCB in January 2006, then back to OC&B Oct 2006 Chandler, WHOI OCB
VERTIGO and OCB • VERTIGO is one of five participating programs in the OCB collaboratory • CARIACO time-series, EDDIES, MedFlux, and SOFeX • each independent project was collecting biogeochemistry data and each had an aspect we found ‘intriguing’ • OCB is itself a research project • how difficult would it be to take data from several different projects at various stages in their life cycle and create a relational database Chandler, WHOI OCB
BCO DMO New ! Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office • NSF funded project PIs: Peter Wiebe and David Glover • 3 year project (start: 1 Oct 2006) • data management for biological andchemical oceanography • continued data management support for original OCB projects Chandler, WHOI OCB

OCB Data Systemorganizedby project and cruise http://ocb.whoi.edu/jg/dir/OCB Chandler, WHOI OCB
JGOFS Database Engine distributed, object-oriented, relational database management system query original data can be in any formatsystem uses methods to locate and translate the data objects Chandler, WHOI OCB
OCB-VERTIGO database status • cruise event logs and basic hydrographic data done first • working on bottle summary files now • questions referred to VERTIGO project office Chandler, WHOI OCB
OCB-VERTIGO database status for Kilo Moana and Revelle cruises: • cruise data inventory • cruise event logs • CTD profile data • Niskin bottle (base file) Chandler, WHOI OCB
2004 Kilo Moana cruise Chandler, WHOI OCB
2005 Revelle cruise inventory object Chandler, WHOI OCB

What can you do ? • contribute data to VERTIGO project office • metadata metadata metadata • spatial and temporal • methodology (acquisition and processing) • quality control procedures • any publications associated with the data • use the database, provide feedback Chandler, WHOI OCB
What next ? • continued ingestion of VERTIGO data into online OCB database • synthesis of data from Niskin bottle samples Niskin bottle summary data product (e.g. full cruise merged Niskin bottle data) • BCO DMO funding will support development of an enhanced data system interface(data discovery: map and improved search) Chandler, WHOI OCB
