Key objectives
- Develop an overall concept for the management of EuroGOOS observation data taking into consideration existing data management systems;
- Identify observations required for either in real-time or in delayed mode data;
- Propose the most effective ways to make observation data readily available for operational purposes;
- Propose mechanisms to ease access to delayed mode observation data in cooperation with National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODCs), keeping aware of the progress in SeaDataNet;
- Draft a minimum set of standards for data quality control which is related to observation data collection, processing and exchange procedures.
