Collaborative Research: OOI Biogeochemical Sensor Data Workshop

海洋观测站倡议（OOI）在大西洋、太平洋和南大洋的系泊和移动自主平台上部署传感器，测量关键的生物地球化学特性。这些传感器产生的数据集具有很大的潜力，可支持海洋学界研究一系列重要的跨学科问题。然而，OOI生物地球化学传感器数据迄今尚未被海洋学界充分利用，因为这些丰富数据流的应用需要有效的校准和验证，包括部署后的人在环处理。为了扩大OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的使用范围，提高社区生产可供分析的数据产品的能力，pi将召开为期3天的关于使用OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的面对面研讨会，该研讨会将汇集来自当前OOI用户社区内外具有生物地球化学传感器校准和分析专业知识的参与者。本次研讨会的目标是：1)制定一套使用OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的指导方针和最佳实践，并将通过发表白皮书与更广泛的社区共享；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生物地球化学传感器数据，并扩大参与和吸收该社区资源产生的数据。该讲习班将通过汇集处理和分析生物地球化学传感器数据的主题专家，以及当前和未来OOI生物地球化学数据流的用户，解决海洋学界利用OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的障碍。讲习班的一个成果将是一套经社区审查的校准和验证OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的最佳做法。这些最佳做法将被出版并向更广泛的海洋学界广泛传播。这一努力代表了从OOI生物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项目和网络的生物地球化学数据流进行定性比较和整合。讲习班将促进更广泛地将OOI阵列所产生的生物地球化学数据用于科学研究、教育和海洋资源管理应用。此外，本次研讨会将为参与者提供宝贵的专业发展机会，包括许多早期职业和/或来自代表性不足群体的研究人员。最后，围绕OOI生物地球化学传感器数据流，本次研讨会很有可能催化形成社区驱动的科学团队。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

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.
