Conclusion
This paper has shown that the expectations regarding in-situ observing
systems are very high and that they are not easy to set-up: in-situ
TAO/TRITON/PIRATA array or ARGO float program, are managing to
comply with some of the operational oceanography requirements which are
sustainability in time, adequate coverage timeliness of data delivery,
coordination both at implementation and data management level.
This paper has also addressed some issues related to data management
such as the different data distribution architecture, the necessity of common
agreed quality control procedures both in real time and delayed mode and
the importance of data and metadata standardisation if we want to be able to
share efficiently these data among the network.
