Collaborative Research: OOI Biogeochemical Sensor Data Workshop

海洋天文台倡议(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性质。这些传感器产生的数据集具有极大的潜力，可支持海洋学界研究广泛的重要和跨学科问题。然而，迄今为止，海洋学界没有充分利用海洋研究组织的生物地球化学传感器数据，因为应用这些丰富的数据流需要进行有效的校准和验证，包括部署后的人在环路处理。为了扩大OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的使用，并提高社区生产可供分析使用的数据产品的能力，私营部门将召开为期3天的使用OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的面对面研讨会，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将汇聚一堂。这次研讨会的目标是：1)制定一套关于使用OOI生物地球化学传感器数据的指导方针和最佳做法，将通过一份出版的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，并扩大对这一社区资源产生的数据的参与和吸收。研讨会的一个成果将是一套经社区审查的OOI生物地球化学传感器数据校准和验证最佳做法。将出版这些最佳做法，并向更广泛的海洋学社区广泛传播。这一努力是朝着从海洋观测组织生物地球化学传感器获取气候质量数据迈出的重要一步，这些传感器可以与其他海洋观测方案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利用海洋海洋研究所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，该讲习班将为参与者提供宝贵的职业发展机会，包括许多职业生涯初期和/或来自代表性不足群体的研究人员。最后，这个研讨会有很大的潜力催化围绕OOI生物地球化学传感器数据流的社区驱动的科学团队的形成。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势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.
