Global Intercomparability in a Changing Ocean: an international time-­series methods workshop, November 28-­30, 2012 (Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, St. Georges, Bermuda).

Abstract

To address methodological approaches and data intercomparability across shipboard time-­‐series... This workshop focused specifically on the methods employed by each time-­series with the aim of enhancing data comparability between sites. The workshop goals include the following: • Review current oceanographic time-­series core sampling and analytical methodologies and rationale behind protocol differences • To the extent possible, attempt to define standardized methods applicable across time-series • Attempt to reconcile differences in variable nomenclature • Examine new techniques available for more accurate and simplified measurements • Explore the roles of autonomous sensors in improving and expanding time-series measurements • Coordinate a best practices publication to facilitate data inter-­comparison across time-series site
