Guidelines for data products

The Pilot Project

Highlighted 2 main subsets of available data:

Expert workshop, summary of decisions for Products:

-Standard Diva Interpolated maps produced for parameters with homogeneous and suitable data coverage, measured on basin scale;

-“Time series plots”. Showing stations geographic distribution linked to plots of measured time series. This for not homogeneous datasets as:

•coastal points repeated in time,•datasets with fragmented coverage.

Guidelines for data products

DIVA interpolated maps:– Focus on the selected parameters;– Focus on nutrients in the water column based on

data availability;– Focus on annual and seasonal scale based on

data availability;– Interpolated maps generated by Diva software;– Metadata file generated by DivadoXML script;

Guidelines for data productsTime Series plots:

-Focus on the selected parameters;-Focus on the parameters with fragmented coverage

(spatial/temporal);-suggested use of ODV software for plots generation;-ratio of 1plot:1station (EDIOS) :1parameter:1depth;-metadata collected in a INDEX file (http://www.data-

assimilation.net/mediawiki/index.php/OceanBrowser#Observation_index_files )

Recommendations:-to avoid plots for stations with less than 3 points;-to avoid linkage lines between single points;-to provide TS plots in vector format as SVG;
