Quality Assurance of Real-Time Oceanographic Data (QARTOD)

Quality Assurance of Real-Time Oceanographic Data (QARTOD) is a multi-agency effort to address the quality assurance and quality control issues of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) community.



QARTOD

Quality Assurance of Real-Time Oceanographic Data (QARTOD) consists of multiple agencies with the common goal to address the Quality Assurance and Quality Control issues within the international community of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS).

QARTOD held four workshops, each with different tasks, to address various issues. QARTOD hosted the following workshops:

QARTOD I
Focus: Developing minimum standards for calibration, QA/QC methods and metadata

QARTOD II
Focus: Wave and current measurements and their unique calibration, metadata, and QA/QC needs

QARTOD III
Focus: Quality Control for CTDs, in-situ currents, remote currents, and waves

QARTOD IV
Focus: Challenges related to the collection, distribution, and description of real-time ocean data
