QuinCe was developed by the ICOS Ocean Thematic Centre to support its network of measuring stations. It was created with five goals in mind:
Ensure that all data is processed using standard, traceable algorithms.
Maintain full provenance of all data processing and quality control activities.
Remove the need for scientists to write and maintain their own processing code.
Simplify and (where possible) automate data workflow from collection to publication.
Integrate the ICOS OTC data flow into other projects such as SOCAT.
All data processing algorithms are developed in conjunction with the scientific community and/or sensor manufacturers to ensure that they conform to current best practices. The tools are constantly reviewed with users to receive feedback on issues and identify improvements.
