Beginning in 2003, the Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA) enabled an
open-access network of distributed sensors and linked computer models through the SURA …

Sensor technologies and capabilities have an effect on observational data quality. Typically,
data management begins, at best, when a data manager obtains the data and needs to …

Electronic annotation of scientific data is very similar to annotation of documents. Both types
of annotation amplify the original object, add related knowledge to it, and dispute or support …

Underwater autonomous gliders have transitioned from exotic experimental systems to
becoming a standard platform capable of collecting data over a critical range of spatial and …

The worldwide Sensor Web comprises observation data from diverse sources. Each data
provider may process and assess datasets differently before making them available online …

The rapid development of sensing technologies had led to the creation of large volumes of
environmental observation data. Data quality control information informs users how it was …

This paper summarizes the quality control (QC) tests used to verify ocean wave and in situ
current data collected and shared by ocean observing systems, federal data centers and …

We present a common data framework for processing and assessing environmental time-
series data. Workflows are designed to handle various ways of data importing and …

With observational data becoming widely available, researchers struggle to find information
enabling assessment for its reliable use. A small first-step toward enabling data quality …

Emerging technologies in web-based services have enabled the integration of global,
interdisciplinary earth observations. These capabilities can provide an unprecedented …
