The IQuOD (International Quality-controlled Ocean Database) effort is being organized by the oceanographic community, and includes experts in data quality and management, climate modellers and the broader climate-related community. The primary focus of IQuOD is to produce and freely distribute the highest quality and complete single ocean profile repository along with (intelligent) metadata and assigned uncertainties for use in ocean climate research applications. This goal will be achieved by developing and implementing an internationally-agreed framework.

An Algorithm for Classifying Unknown Expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) Instruments Based on Existing Metadata.

Palmer, Matthew D.; Boyer, Tim; Cowley, Rebecca; Kizu, Shoichi; Reseghetti, Franco; Suzuki, Toru; Thresher, Ann (2018)

Time-varying biases in expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments have emerged as a key un- certainty in estimates of historical ocean heat content variability and change. One of the challenges in the development of ...
