| CMOC China is acting as a specialized center that serves the metadata together with the observation data at the same time. Metadata is an important role in many aspects of ocean climate study. The Team reviewed latest developments within JCOMM regarding the management of instrument-platform (I-P) metadata from ocean observing platforms, and their requirements for exchange in real-time and delayed mode. The Team recalled that the proper management of I-P metadata, as well as that of higher-level forms of metadata,1 is an important component of the integration effort promoted by the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS). Standardization is necessary for all data and associated metadata so that the measurements from individual systems can be integrated into accurate and coherent data sets that allow for the development of unbiased, homogeneous long-term time-series. |
