“…To help in this area some metadata standards are emerging for the marine community with CF/COARDS (Climate and Forecast/Cooperative Ocean/Atmosphere Research Data Service) convention, Marine XML in Europe, and the ISO19115/19139. The availability of usable standards both for data description (catalogues, metadata, formats) are discussed more in detail in [11] and [21].…”

“…Some of these activities are already being addressed by the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM). The Pilot Project for Marine Observations under the WMO Integrated Global Observing Systems (WIGOS) framework is an example of the development of standardized data transmission across the meteorological and oceanographic communities [7]. WIGOS will make appropriate datasets available in real-time and delayed mode to WMO and IOC applications through interoperability arrangements with the WMO Information System (WIS).…”

As the ocean community looks to the next decade of ocean observations, end-to-end data management must be considered as an integral part of the design of any ocean observing system. Ocean data stewardship ensures that observations deliver the maximum service to society. Ocean data stewardship means more than mere mechanical or electronic acts of data archiving and transfer. It consists of an integrated suite of functions to preserve and realize the full value of environmental data. Data stewards and data providers need to work toward standardization of vocabularies and formats, quality and complete metadata, and making the archival and dissemination of data a part of the initial design of an observing system. These functions must be successfully implemented to ensure optimal use of oceanographic data and information, both now and in future.

The observation of biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems has traditionally been based on ship-based platforms. The obvious consequence is that the measured properties have been dramatically undersampled. Recent technological advances in miniature, low power biogeochemical sensors and autonomous platforms open remarkable perspectives for observing the "biological" ocean, notably at critical spatio-temporal scales which have been out of reach until present. The availability of this new observation technology thus makes it possible to envision the development of a globally integrated observation system that would serve both scientific as well as operational needs. This in situ system should be fully designed and implemented in tight synergy with two other essential elements of an ocean observation system, first satellite ocean color radiometry and second advanced numerical models of biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems. This paper gives guidelines and recommendations for the design of such system. The core biological and biogeochemical variables to be implemented are first reviewed, trying also to identify those for which the observational demand is high although the technology is not yet mature. A review of the five platforms now available (gliders, floats, animals with sensors, mooring at eulerian site and ships) allows their specific strengths with regards to biological and biogeochemical observations to be identified as well as to point out the community plans with respect to ongoing implementation. The critical issue of data management is addressed, acknowledging that the availability of
