Dear Colleagues,
“Measuring the oceans” is the basis for the understanding of any oceanographic process and to improve prediction capabilities. However, the efforts to collect the data are worthless if good quality and metrological traceability are not assured.
This Special Issue welcomes papers dealing with new developments in the fields of oceanographic observations, from sensors to data management.
Improvements on observation platforms and measuring devices and sensors, calibration techniques for in situ and remote-sensed measurements, definition of reference standards and sampling handling guidelines, as well as results from intercomparison exercises are of great interest.
Papers addressing methodologies for harmonizing and blending data collected from a wide variety of sensors and platforms and those obtained from numerical models, the definition and test of metrics for the assessment of ocean model performances, and new tools for data presentation and dissemination are also welcomed.
This Special Issue hosts selected papers from the “2019 IMEKO TC-19 International Workshop on Metrology for the Sea”, but it is open to any other contributions.
