EuroGO-SHIP Blog - The Pursuit of Best Practices and Quality Control

Yvonne is a physical oceanographer at National Oceanography Centre in the United Kingdom. In the EuroGO-SHIP project, her work has focussed on expanding secondary quality control and serving as the salinity parameter expert to gather evidence on the effect of practical differences in procedures toward developing a framework for an updated salinity measurement best practice. In addition, Yvonne has been involved in pilot skills-sharing related to the calibration of salinity data through collaborations with other EuroGO-SHIP partners. Best practices and quality control are key components of the EuroGO-SHIP project, so we asked Yvonne to help unpack these terms and clarify why they are incredibly important to ensure the delivery of much-needed climate data.
