Objectives FixO3 WP 2 & 3 To harmonise procedures across the network: Assessment of operational procedures for sustained Eulerian observations Development of principles of best practice Development of the FixO3 observatories label OceanSITES 2016: 11th Steering Committee, 25 - 29 April 2016, NOC Southampton, UK
Activities FixO3 WP 2 & 3 Assessment of procedures Partners were asked to share any existing documentation such as protocols, standard operation procedures, etc. standardized template. During the GA meeting in Heraklion partners had the opportunity to extensively discuss the documents and agreed about the WS 4th - 5th of December 2014 Athens common WS Principal investigators of the FixO3 network of observatories as well as technicians and scientists who actually operate the stations were invited to attend the workshop. OceanSITES 2016: 11th Steering Committee, 25 - 29 April 2016, NOC Southampton, UK
Activities FixO3 WP 2 & 3 Principles of best practice A major goal of the workshop was to structure the FixO3 Best Practices Handbook. Working group leaders and drafting groups were appointed for each section and deadlines were set. OceanSITES 2016: 11th Steering Committee, 25 - 29 April 2016, NOC Southampton, UK
Handbook on best practices FixO3 WP 2 & 3 Project 312463 - Fixed Point Open Ocean Observatories Network Work Package number WP3 Work Package title PROCEDURAL HARMONISATION Deliverable number D 3.2 Deliverable title Handbook on best practices Description A handbook describing the best practices in all phases of the system covering the entire infrastructural chain of data acquisition will be produced. In this handbook there will be recommendations on how to produce high quality data aiming towards common methodologies and protocols within the network. CNRS Lead beneficiary Lead authors L.
