Community
  • Visited operators: Moss Landing Marine Lab (R/V Point Sur), Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (R/V Atlantic Explorer).
  • Attended and presented at Fall AGU (Dec. 13-17, San Francisco).
  • Attended and presented R2R update at UNOLS Council and Annual Meeting. (Oct. 14-15, Arlington)
  • Led breakouts, plenary annual report, discussion at UNOLS RVTEC meeting (Nov. 15-18, Bermuda).
  • Met with Ocean Observing Initiative Cyberinfrastructure (OOI-CI) personnel to identify areas of common interest.
  • Established reciprocal links to Data Centers including (BCO-DMO, MGDS, ASP-LDEO, SAMOS, IMLGS).
Cruise Cataloging and Data Archiving
  • Cataloged 476 new cruises from 12 vessels. As of November 2010, all UNOLS vessels are now contributing to R2R.
  • Based on feedback, a revised fleet-standard directory structure has been posted. Two operators have been identified to begin implementation (OSU, URI).
  • Continued development of new 2.0 database schema and cruise data breakout workflow.
  • Began design and implementation of an Operator Review page where the shipboard technicians can see list of known devices and collected filesets and verify that the cruise distribution received by R2R is complete.
  • Posted download links to initial UHDAS ADCP datasets at NODC (cruise KM0812) and reviewed metadata with specialists.
Real-Time Data

  • Receipt of real-time MET/TSG data began for Kilo Moana.
  • NSF-supported vessels currently providing data via the SAMOS 1.0 email transfer protocol:
    Vessel No. Days Received No. 1-min. data records
    Atlantis 82 116,276
    Knorr 73 100,781
    Oceanus 72 99,755
    Atlantic Explorer 40 42,065
    Kilo Moana 66 90,422
    Healy 12 15,811
    Nathaniel B. Palmer 45 62,000
    Lawrence M. Gould 67 95,788
  • Drafted and circulated a document describing second generation SAMOS RT data protocol in collaboration with OSU, URI, and LDEO.
  • All quality-controlled observations from vessels contributing to the SAMOS are available online.
R2R Event Logger
  • Results of all event logger tests are now available online at elog.rvdata.us.
  • The eventlogger controlled vocabulary (version 0.1) has been delivered to EU counterparts and we are in the process of arranging for a meeting on this topic at EGU.
  • R2R Event Logger test cruises to date include:

Quality Assessment

  • Began development of R2R multibeam QA tools. These tools are being developed within the framework of open source software MB-System so they can be easily integrated and made available to the community.
  • Began development of R2R gravity and magnetics Reduction/QA tools, and presented proposed workflow at AGU.
