Collaborative Research: OOI Biogeochemical Sensor Data Workshop

海洋观测站倡议（OOI）部署了传感器，在大西洋、太平洋和南大洋的阵列上的系泊和移动的自主平台上测量关键的海洋地球化学特性。这些传感器生成的数据集具有很大的潜力，可支持海洋学界研究各种重要的跨学科问题。然而，OOI生物地球化学传感器数据迄今为止尚未得到海洋学界的充分利用，因为这些丰富数据流的应用需要有效的校准和验证，包括部署后的人在回路处理。为了扩大OOI地球化学传感器数据的使用范围，提高社区生产分析就绪数据产品的能力，PI将召开为期3天的OOI地球化学传感器数据使用现场研讨会，将现有OOI用户社区内外的地球化学传感器校准和分析专业知识的参与者聚集在一起。该讲习班的目标是：1）制定一套使用OOI地球化学传感器数据的准则和最佳做法，并将通过出版的白色文件与更广泛的社区分享，和2）在研讨会参与者中建立一个实践社区，使与会者能够在新的研究项目中使用OOI地球化学传感器数据，并扩大参与和吸收由此产生的数据。该讲习班将讨论海洋学界利用海洋观测所海洋地球化学传感器数据的障碍，方法是将海洋地球化学传感器数据处理和分析方面的专题专家与海洋观测所海洋地球化学数据流的当前和未来用户沿着参加。讲习班的成果之一将是一套经社区审查的OOI地球化学传感器数据校准和验证的最佳做法。这些最佳做法将予以公布，并向更广泛的海洋学界广泛传播。这一努力代表了从OOI地球化学传感器获取气候质量数据的重要一步，这些数据可以与其他海洋观测计划和网络的地球化学数据流进行定性比较和整合。该讲习班将促进更广泛地使用OOI阵列产生的生物地球化学数据，用于科学研究以及教育和海洋资源管理应用。此外，本次研讨会将为与会者提供宝贵的专业发展机会，包括许多研究人员谁是早期的职业生涯和/或来自代表性不足的群体。最后，这个研讨会有很大的潜力，可以促进围绕OOI地球化学传感器数据流形成社区驱动的科学团队。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) deploys sensors that measure key biogeochemical properties on both moored and mobile autonomous platforms across arrays in the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans. These sensors generate data sets with great potential to support the oceanographic community in studying a wide range of important and interdisciplinary questions. However, OOI biogeochemical sensor data have thus far been underutilized by the oceanographic community because the application of these rich data streams requires effective calibration and validation, including post-deployment human-in-the-loop processing. In order to broaden the use of OOI biogeochemical sensor data and increase community capacity to produce analysis-ready data products, the PIs will convene a 3-day in-person workshop on using OOI biogeochemical sensor data that will bring together participants with expertise in biogeochemical sensor calibration and analysis from both within and beyond the current OOI user community. The goals of this workshop are to: 1) Develop a set of guidelines and best practices for using OOI biogeochemical sensor data, which will be shared with the broader community through a published white paper, and 2) Build a community of practice among the workshop participants that will enable attendees to use the OOI biogeochemical sensor data in new research projects and to broaden participation and uptake of data produced by this community resource.This workshop will address barriers to the oceanographic community's utilization of OOI biogeochemical sensor data by bringing together subject matter experts in the processing and analysis of biogeochemical sensor data, along with current and future users of OOI biogeochemical data streams. One outcome of the workshop will be a set of community-vetted best practices for the calibration and validation of OOI biogeochemical sensor data. These best practices will be published and widely disseminated to the broader oceanographic community. This effort represents an important step towards the acquisition of climate-quality data from OOI biogeochemical sensors that can be qualitatively compared and integrated with biogeochemical data streams from other ocean observing programs and networks. The workshop will facilitate broader usage of biogeochemical data generated by the OOI arrays for scientific research, as well as education and marine resource management applications. Additionally, this workshop will provide an invaluable professional development opportunity for the participants, including many researchers who are early career and/or from underrepresented groups. Finally, there is the strong potential for this workshop to catalyze the formation of community-driven science teams around the OOI biogeochemical sensor data streams.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
