Responsibilities

Support the submission, review, and input of metadata for water level, meteorological, and oceanographic sensors, ensuring all data aligns with CO-OPS standards and standard operating procedures.

Monitor and assess the stability of water level stations and ensure they are correctly on datum, performing necessary adjustments and updates to maintain accuracy.

Load preliminary data into the database as needed and conduct quality assurance and quality control checks on water level data to detect and resolve discrepancies.

Produce essential data products such as hourly heights, highs and lows, monthly means, tidal and geodetic datums, harmonic constituents, and tidal predictions.

Compile and deliver tidal and geodetic relationships based on bench mark elevations to help update VDatum.

Perform geospatial analyses to assess the need for additional data collection to improve model inputs.

Provide technical expertise and support to CO-OPS and its partners and customers in areas of geospatial data development and applications.

Support, create, and maintain data-manipulation, spatial analysis, decision-support, and data distribution tools in a geospatial framework.

Track data throughout the metadata and data pipeline, providing regular updates to project and partnership leads regarding the status and progress of data handling.

Assist in updating standard operating procedures and guides when necessary to align with evolving practices and technologies.

Comprehensive reviews, analyses, and quality-controlled outputs formatted to match existing CO-OPS standards of water level gauge metadata and data, including documented identification and resolution of deficiencies in datasets and metadata.

Operational water level data products such as 6-minute data, hourly heights, highs and lows, monthly means, tidal datums, harmonic constituents, tidal predictions, and tidal zoning formatted to match existing CO-OPS standards.

New or updated standard operating procedures, manuals, and technical documentation to support consistent and accurate processes (e.g. metadata records reviews, water level data processing, datums, harmonic constituent, & tidal predictions generation, and generation of tidal zoning).

A Gantt chart or equivalent project timeline documenting the progression of water level metadata and data products for each station through the data pipeline, highlighting milestones and dependencies.

Geospatial data analyses and geospatial data products/tools tailored to support the development or refinement of VDatum models.

Documented scientific and technical expertise contributions, including written summaries or reports, provided for project teams, working groups, and operational meetings.
