Tasks of Work Package 1
Last edited 29 January 2004
T1.1: Requirements for ESEAS Operational Sites satisfying the
criteria for Applications A - D will be specified (P1, P3, P5, P10, P12, P15, P16, P18) and the
proposed ESEAS Operational Sites will be classified according to these
specifications (P1, P5, P18). Only those sites meeting the requirements for at least
one specification will be certified as ESEAS Operational Sites.
T1.2: Based on existing documents such as the relevant IOC Manuals and the
EOSS Position Paper, standard routines for quality control of tide gauge
data will be specified (P1, P3, P5, P6, P10, P12, P15, P17, P18). In particular, procedures for tests based on
multi-stations will be defined and, if necessary, implement in new software
(P3, P5, P6, P18).
T1.3: A web-based interface to the databases of the ESEAS Operational
Centres will be designed (P1, P3, P5, P9, P10, P11, P15, P17, P18, P20, P21),
implemented and validated (P1, P5, P18).
T1.4: A comprehensive survey of potential data (charts etc.) for
"data archaeology" rescue will be carried out (P3). For some selected
Application A tide gauges (e.g. in the Eastern part
of the Baltic Sea, the Adriatic), older analog records will be digitised
(P10, P11, P12, P13, P15) and the hourly values made available together with already digital
data through the web interface inserted in the database.
T1.5: The hourly values of the ESEAS Operational Sites will be
quality controlled and a database of high quality hourly values
will be compiled (P3, P5, P6, P9, P10, P11, P12, P15, P16, P18, P20, P21).
This task also includes necessary knowledge transfer
from the more experienced participants to those with less experience in
quality control (P3). Based on the new time series, high-quality
series of monthly means will be computed (P3, P5, P6, P9, P10, P11, P12, P15, P16, P17, P18,
P20, P21).
