Aim
The aim of the water temperature metadata pilot project (META-T PP) is:-
To investigate and recommend the use of metadata to improve the quality and usefulness of ocean temperature information, particularly in real-time.

Current status
Workshop 28th – 29th March 2006 at ECMWF, Reading, UK
2 documents:-- Categorisation of metadata- Requirements matrix
Data stream reports:-- VOS
- XBT (SOOP)
- Moored buoys
- Drifting buoys
- Argo

Plans for the future
Each data stream compared to the metadata categorisation and matrix
Recommendations can be made what to include in: - real-time (incl. BUFR, TT-Coding)- delayed-mode transmission formats (push / pull)
through documentationand trial
Trial (within data streams) including data transmission and storage (ODAS & NOAA)

Actions from ETMC relating to META-T
• Work with the Task Team on Delayed Mode VOS data flow (TT-DMVOS) to change the delayed-mode exchange format• Work on BUFR to ensure metadata fields included for all data streams
• Liaise with NMDIS over ODAS metadata database to enable it to meet user requirements and agree a format to exchange / ingest metadata (perhaps XML) – link to SOT TT-Coding?
