Ocean Carbon and Acidification Data Stewardship

(NOAA Collaborators:Tim Boyer)

Research Topic: Climate Data & Information Records/Scientific Data Stewardship
Task Leader: Liqing Jiang
Sponsor: NCEI Ocean
Published Date: 11/10/2020

This year, the scope of the OADS effort will also include establishing a data standard for chemical oceanographic data for the international community. The new standard will cover these topics: column header standards, quality control flags, missing value indicators, and most importantly standardized calculation equations for potential temperature, conservative salinity, sigma-theta, apparent oxygen utilization, and fugacity of carbon dioxide.

OADS has recently funded to lead the synthesis efforts for carbonate data in the North American coasts. OADS will work closely with colleagues from NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) for this endeavor. In the first year of the project, we’ll develop the tools needed for the quality control effort and start to convert data into a standardized uniform format.
