“…Reference [26] discusses yet another level of detail and lists many recommendations about aspects of the functioning of a data system. Other authors focus on different components, sometimes explaining how these issues have been tackled in particular cases, and sometimes suggesting new solutions to existing problems.…”

Preserving data for future use involves the acquisition, processing, preservation, quality assurance or control (QC) or assurance, archival preservation (including accompanying platform and instrumental metadata), and dissemination by data centres serving national and international users [1]. Many organizations, both national and international have a primary objective to assemble, preserve into the future and disseminate measurements from the ocean and the overlying atmosphere. The few that are mentioned illustrate the common objectives and issues of all. This paper is a companion to other papers [2, 3 and 4] that cover the scope of ocean data management. This one deals with the processes of moving data from acquisition to archives and leaves the other aspects of data management to the other authors (other than touching briefly on issues related to timely delivery).

In the last decade, there has been tremendous development of regional ocean observing systems (ROOS) that provide information on ocean conditions immediately adjacent to the world's population centers. As these systems mature, it is vital to ensure that the ability to deliver societal services is adequately supported by the systems. This paper reviews developments in several areas that influence that ability. The first are the governance and organizational structures that have been created to guide the implementation of three ROOSs -in Europe, the United States, and Australia. The degree to which they provide a mechanism for engaging a broad range of service providers and addressing a variety of research issues is examined to identify similarities and differences in approaches. As ocean observing systems have matured, it has been recognized that to simultaneously engage and support a range of societal service providers, careful attention to regional-scale information management practices is needed, for unlike the governance and organizational structures that permit tailoring to fit regional needs, information management practices must be interoperable to accommodate interactions of providers on local to global scales. The pros and cons of different approaches to ROOS development, including observing, model and information management components being adopted by these and other regional systems are explored. There is an opportunity in the coming decade to promote development of new, sustained observations and an information services interface that unites the global, regional and coastal systems to support a broad range of societal service providers in a fairly seamless fashion. The need for integration from global to coastal services will become more urgent as communities face the need to adapt to climate change in the ocean. Data assimilation, reanalysis and prediction models provide a critical link between global observing and applications at a regional or local scale.

Information infrastructure for Australia’s Integrated Marine Observing System

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, imos.org.au) is research infrastructure to establish an enduring observing program for Australian oceanic waters and shelf seas. The observations cover physical, biological, and chemical variables to address themes of multi-decadal ocean change, climate variability and weather extremes, boundary currents and inter-basin flows, continental shelf processes and ecosystem responses.IMOS observations are collected by national facilities based on various platform types and operated by partner institutions around the country. In this paper we describe the infrastructure and workflows developed to manage and distribute the data to the public. We highlight the existing standards and open-source software we have adopted, and the contributions we have made. To demonstrate the value of this infrastructure we provide some illustrations of use and uptake.All IMOS data are freely and openly available to the public via the Ocean Portal (https://imos.aodn.org.au). All IMOSdeveloped software is open-source and accessible at https:// github.com/aodn.
