  1. Data sets based on Argo:Role of Regional Centers 2009 ARC Meeting Sept. 29, 2009 Toulouse, FR

  2. Discussion points • What to call these things? • Data products? • Synthesis data sets? • Is there a need to coordinate? • Roles of science team and/or ARCs? • Validate/approve? • Design? • Inventory efforts • Done regionally (by originator)?

  3. Issues (cont’d) • Do we have a clear idea of Argo users, how they access data, and in what form? • E.g., X-megabytes of Argo data are downloaded from the GDACs each month; of this Y% is done by operational modeling centers, Z% is done by individual researchers, etc. • Similarly for synthesis products based on Argo • Here we would include an inventory of who is producing what and how often

  4. What to conclude • Revise our existing spreadsheet on Argo-related syntheses • Come up with a specific recommendation for coordination of these syntheses, including roles of ST and ARCs if any • If possible, identify needs for future development

  5. Scripps Inventory • Coriolis • IFREMER • IPRC • JAMSTEC • Met Office • Scripps • INCOIS

  6. Example data product: APDRC • Taking raw data from GDAC and producing gridding products for use in models and other analyses • Create horizontal maps of binned (profiles in a certain lat/lon box) and interpolated variables (temp, salt, density) and derived variables (MLD, BLT) • Further make derived estimates of velocity
