Ad-hoc Working Group on Atmospheric Composition Vocabulary (WG-ACV)


The goal of this group, established by the TT-WIGOSMD, is to improve the WIGOS vocabulary for atmospheric composition and make it interoperable with other vocabularies.

Objectives of WG-ACV

Overview

The main objective of this group is to improve the vocabulary on atmospheric composition. This vocabulary is used in the WIGOS metadata representation. The overarching objective of the WIGOS metadata standard, for which the WIGOS metadata representation provides the information model, is to 'document observations to enable adequate use'. Therefore, the WIGOS information model endeavors to capture the characteristic aspects of an observation.

Scope and specific tasks

  • Variables, path structures of atmospheric variables (Code table for observed variables with domain "Atmosphere": 1-01-01)
    • Review existing subdomains
    • Identify missing variables and suggest how they can be organized
    • Provide descriptions that define the variables unambiguously
  • Sampling attributes and method details
    • Identify the key attributes of the process of observation that determine the result
