26 QA/QC metrics are essential PJW, NASA, 7 Oct 2012, OOW @ OO2012 a single entity (e.g., NASA or equivalent) cannot collect sufficient volumes of in situ data to satisfy its operational calibration & validation needs following, flight projects rely on multiple entities to collect in situ data robust protocols for data collection & QA/QC ensures measurements are of the highest possible quality – well calibrated & understood, properly & consistently acquired, within anticipated ranges robust QA/QC provides confidence in utility & quality of data

27 QA/QC metrics are essential PJW, NASA, 7 Oct 2012, OOW @ OO2012 QA/QC methods vary in maturity – exist for many established instruments & platforms, but not always for newer or autonomous systems where do we want to be in 10 years? QA/QC methods are ideal when: they accommodate routine time-series reprocessing they are well documented they consistently maintain consensus from vendor  institution  end user revisited by subject matter experts routinely recommend invested agencies/institutions facilitate routine activities (workshops, round robins, inter-comparisons) to revisit QA/QC protocols

28 a recent QA/QC workshop PJW, NASA, 7 Oct 2012, OOW @ OO2012 Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL) & NASA hosted an oceanographic QA/QC workshop in Jun 2012 at the U. Maine Darling Marine Center 25 attendees, 16 institutions, 4 countries (US, Australia, France, Canada) expertise in a wide variety of oceanographic measurements & platforms (bio- optics, hydrography, buoys, gliders, ARGO floats, fixed platforms, etc.) COL goals: review & revise Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) data plan NASA goals: interact with OOI & subject matter experts to collectively improve QA/QC methods for autonomously collected bio-optical data

29 a recent QA/QC workshop PJW, NASA, 7 Oct 2012, OOW @ OO2012 topics of discussion: system-level QA/QC approaches (vs. sensor-level) centralized versus distributed approaches levels of QA/QC and associated effort (workforce) required laboratory instrument inter-calibration & verification at-sea instrument inter-calibration detection of slow drifts against large background variability bio-fouling: susceptibility, mitigation, identification, correction utilizing external (field or remote) observations workshop report: presents recommendations, identifies state-of-the-art available at http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/DOCS
