ICOADS R HOSTACE

This repository contains a collection of R-scripts to homogenise platform identifier information and to identify duplicate observations in the International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) marine data source.

The code was written by Elizabeth Kent from the National Oceanography Centre. For the NERC HOSTACE project and adapted for C3S_311a_Lot2. The C3S 311a Lot 2 (Global Land and Marine Observations Database) service concerns with the provision of globally distributed land and marine surface meteorological records from the national archives.

The service includes inventorying of, and brokering access to, data sources, their harmonization (via conversion to a Common Data Model (CDM), merging, and quality assurance) and their provision via the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Climate Data Store (CDS).
