4 decades of Belgian marine monitoring project
Long-term change in contamination, eutrophication and acidification indicators has been reported from the North Sea and adjoining coastal waters during the last decades. Although corresponding data have been extensively collected during numerous campaigns at sea, no quality-checked, intercalibrated and integrated data sets with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution exist for these parameters for the Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS). This seriously hampers evaluating long-term environmental change in this heterogeneous and complex area, where various factors and processes, operating at different spatial and temporal scales, impact marine ecosystem status and health. Designing and implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management actions in the BCS requires a thorough and correct understanding of environmental change in the area, and this in turn needs robust historic (and future) long-term data sets.
In the BCS, modern oceanography, with systematic campaigns for assessing the quality of the marine environment, started with the “Projet Mer/Projekt Zee” (PMPZ) in 1970. Within this first phase of the Belgian Federal North Sea Research Programme, all compartments of the marine ecosystem were studied. This initial program was followed by other research actions, programs and monitoring campaigns, resulting in a large set of valuable historic data on the marine environment of the BCS. The use of these data however suffers from two major drawbacks. First, many historic data are still only available on paper, scattered across different Belgian institutions. Second, many of these programs were carried out more or less independently from one another. The lack of coordination, continuity and integration resulted in inconsistencies in spatial sampling coverage and resolution, sampling frequency, data storage, and changes in measurement techniques and conditions. In addition, methodological changes were also implemented because of technological advances [e.g. the routine adoption of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) methods in phytoplankton pigment oceanography since the late 1980’s] and new opportunities (e.g. the use of remote sensing (RS) for phytoplankton and turbidity monitoring since the mid-1990’s). Assembling data from different time periods, often obtained with different spatial coverage and resolution, and with different methods is typically a source of error that must be estimated and corrected.
The 4DEMON project was therefore designed to build quality-checked, intercalibrated and integrated data sets on the marine environment in the BCS, and use this data for assessing environmental change in this area.

Abstract
Long-term change in contamination, eutrophication and acidification indicators has been reported from the North Sea and adjoining coastal waters during the last decades. Although corresponding data have been extensively collected during numerous campaigns at sea, no quality-checked, intercalibrated and integrated data sets with sufficient temporal and spatial resolution exist for these parameters for the Belgian Continental Shelf (BCS). This seriously hampers evaluating long-term environmental change in this heterogeneous and complex area, where various factors and processes, operating at different spatial and temporal scales, impact marine ecosystem status and health. Designing and implementing Integrated Coastal Zone Management actions in the BCS requires a thorough and correct understanding of environmental change in the area, and this in turn needs robust historic (and future) long-term data sets.
In the BCS, modern oceanography, with systematic campaigns for assessing the quality of the marine environment, started with the “Projet Mer/Projekt Zee” (PMPZ) in 1970. Within this first phase of the Belgian Federal North Sea Research Programme, all compartments of the marine ecosystem were studied. This initial program was followed by other research actions, programs and monitoring campaigns, resulting in a large set of valuable historic data on the marine environment of the BCS. The use of these data however suffers from two major drawbacks. First, many historic data are still only available on paper, scattered across different Belgian institutions.

The African Marine Atlas developed by the Ocean Data and Information Network for Africa (ODINAFRICA) was officially launched on 23 February 2007 at the IOC Project Office for International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) in Ostend, Belgium.
The African Marine Atlas, which can be accessed at http://www.africanmarineatlas.net, provides substantial maps, images, data and information to coastal resource managers, planners and decision-makers from various administrative institutions and specialized agencies in Africa. The Atlas will be of immense benefit to national institutions and a variety of users such as environmentalists, local administrators, park managers, scientific community, fishing cooperatives, tourists, hotel keepers, teachers, NGOs, the general public, and any other interested persons. It has over 800 downloadable data products africanmarineatlas_map.jpgderived from the fields of marine geo-sphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, geopolitical and the human socio-economic dimensions.
The Atlas indicates areas of intense use along the coastline requiring careful management and provides potential foresight on likely consequences of specific decisions. Further, the Atlas indicates gaps in knowledge and information base, where additional efforts may be directed. The Atlas will also act in other ways as a guide to recreational opportunities and tourist attractions.
In developing the Atlas, the main objective was to collate available geospatial datasets and information on the marine environment and to summarize it into an African Marine Atlas suite.
The website is one of a set of Marine Atlas products that will include web data services, web mapping and an Atlas publication when completed.
The Atlas was realized through intensive work between May 2006 and February 2007 by a team of 16 marine scientists and GIS experts from NODC’s in Benin, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, Seychelles, South Africa, and Tanzania. International ocean data experts provided key inputs in data analysis. It is based on an extensive survey of coastal and marine data needs undertaken in early 2006 in all the countries participating in ODINAFRICA.
Primary partners in this project were the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the African Coelecanth Ecosystem Programme (ACEP). UNEP will develop a clearinghouse and information system on coastal and marine resources of Eastern Africa from the regional atlas. The Atlas has brought great benefits to participating national institutions and Africa as a whole, by encouraging scientists to work together, learn new techniques, and build teams that will continue to regularly update the Atlas with national and local scale data sets.
In 2018 with assistance from the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN), the AMA project transitioned to the GeoNode Platform and became known as the African Coastal and Marine Atlas (ACMA).

In addition to the AMD portal, the GCMD has an IPY portal which highlights data that have been collected over the International Polar Year.
The Antarctic Seismic Data Library System for Cooperative Research (SDLS) was created in April 1991 under the auspices of SCAR to provide open access to all multichannel seismic reflection (MCS) data collected south of 60° S.
The SDLS functions under the mandates of the Antarctic Treaty (ATCM XVI-12), and as such, all institutions that collect MCS data in Antarctica must submit their data to the SDLS for use in cooperative research projects. MCS data are submitted to the SDLS within 4 years of collection and remain in the library under SDLS guidelines until 8 years after collection. Thereafter, the data are available for unrestricted use, although recognition of the data collector is requested.
The MCS data in the SDLS may be accessed at library branches worldwide. MCS data are supplied to SDLS branches in a 'final stack' version in digital SEG-Y format on CD/DVD-ROM where they can be viewed and studied, but may not be copied without permission of the data collector. The SDLS is a research facility and not a data bank; MCS data in the SDLS are for use in cooperative research projects, and may not be used for commercial purposes.
This latest version of the SDLS website has been completely rebuilt, adding new functionalities, interactive data viewers and a new metadata structure based on OGC standards O&M (ISO/DIN 19156) and SensorML. SVG interactive graphics are still used but there is no longer any need to use the Adobe plugin. This also removes the restriction of the type of browser to use; any regular browser is now acceptable. The portal is now based on the SNAP framework, which is a web-based infrastructure developed by OGS where geophysical data can be located, interactively previewed and accessed.

Aquaculture Feed Resources database with the following 3 main components:
Anti-nutritional factors within feed ingredients: The inclusion of plant-derived feed ingredients is limited by the presence of a wide variety of anti-nutritional substances. Some of these are protease inhibitors, phytates, glucosinolates, saponins tannins, lectins, oligosaccharides and non-starch polysaccharides, phytoestrogens, alkaloids, antigenic compounds, gossypols, cyanogens, mimosine, cyclopropenoid fatty acids, canavanine, antivitamins, and phorbol esters. These can sometimes be inactivated by ingredient processing methods such as heat. This part of the database records the anti-nutritional factors found in specific ingredients and the method of inactivation and toxic level where available.
Ingredient digestibility report: An important part of nutrition research is to determine the diet and ingredient digestibilities for a particular species. This part of the database records the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of nutrients and energy in selected feed ingredients and for selected aquaculture species. Such studies can focus on one or all of the following: dry matter, protein, lipid, fiber or chitin, ash, calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen-free extract (carbohydrate), energy, average amino acid, and specific amino acids.
Ingredient analysis: Feed ingredient analyses are reported here, including data such as the ingredients suitable for specific aquaculture species, the ingredient proximate analysis and the ingredient detailed analysis.

Argovis provides a representation of the profiles collected over the lifetime of the Argo program. This representation is intended to present an interpretation of Argo data that is slightly simplified from the original product, but still appropriate for a large majority of scientific and educational use cases. Simplifications include presenting delayed (better corrected and QCed) mode data where available; presenting interpolated biogeochemical data only; and merging core and biogeochemical data collected in parallel into unified oceanic profiles. For an introduction to using the Argovis API to access Argo data see https://argovis.colorado.edu/argourlhelper. If using Python, please also see https://github.com/argovis/demo_notebooks/blob/main/Intro_to_Argovis.ipynb. Argo data in Argovis can be integrated (via the Argovis API) into living documents like Jupyter notebooks and analyses intended to update their consumption of Argo data in near-real-time, and our web frontend (https://argovis.colorado.edu/argo) is intended to make it easy for students and educators to explore Argo data at will. Finally, Argovis API also makes it easy to co-locate Argo profiles with other datasets.

The AtlantOS catalogue is the entry point to the integrated data system of AtlantOS (WP7). It provides a discovery service to users and it facilitates the access to existing services (viewing, downloading and monitoring) customized to show the Atlantic Ocean as defined within AtlantOS. This catalogue firstly exposes the actors of to the integrated system and their services, which are (1) the observing networks from WP2-3-4 and (2) the integrators (European infrastructures or global assembly centres). It also aims to link to the monitoring services under JCOMMOPS umbrella and finally to expose the AtlantOS products elaborated within WP7.
The content of the catalogue and the user services are going to be made available progressively as the integrated system is being set up, especially during the implementation phase of the project (from end of March 2017). For help on its usage, view the demo video.

AVHRR Pathfinder version 5.3 level 3 collated (L3C) global 4km sea surface temperature for 1981-Present - NOAA (ODIS id: 783)
AVHRR Pathfinder version 5.3 level 3 collated (L3C) global 4km sea surface temperature for 1981-Present - NOAA
The AVHRR Pathfinder Version 5.3 (PFV53) L3C Sea Surface Temperature data set is a collection of global, twice-daily (Day and Night) 4km sea surface temperature (SST) data produced by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). L3C is generated with measurements combined from a single instrument into a space-time grid. In this process multiple passes/scenes of data are combined. PFV53 was computed with data from the AVHRR instruments on board NOAA's polar orbiting satellite series using an entirely modernized system based on SeaDAS (version 6.4). This system incorporates several key changes from its predecessors (mainly version 5.2: PFV52). The SSTs in PFV53 are now available for all quality levels, including quality '0' which was left out of PFV52 due to a memory issue in the version 5.2 code. The Sun glint regions are better represented in the data. Cloud tree tests for NOAA-7 and NOAA-19 are now consistent with the rest of the sensors in contrast to PFV52 where they were inconsistent. Similar to all previous versions of Pathfinder this version also includes L3C products. The sst_dtime variable is still not included in L3C (it was not included in PFV52 either). The global and variables attributes in netCDF files are revised, have better CF and ACDD compliance, and are consistent with the NCEI netCDF templates. Anomalous hot-spots at land-water boundaries are better identified and flagged in PFV53. The PFV53 land mask has been updated (based on Global Lakes and Wetlands Database: Lakes and Wetlands Grid Level 3, 2015). Sea ice data over the Antarctic ice shelves are marked as ice and flagged as 100% ice cover. The PFV53 output is netCDF version 4 in "classic" mode, whereas in PFV52 the netCDF-4 files were not explicitly identified as "classic". An extra bit (bit 6) is used under l2p_flags variable to flag out the daytime unrealistic SST values (>39.8°C) that remain in pf_quality_level 4 to 7. Users are recommended to avoid these values.
Importantly, PFV53 data provided in netCDF-4 (classic model, with internal compression and chunking) are nearly 100% compliant with the GHRSST Data Specification Version 2.0 (GDS2.0 revision 5) requirements. However, it must be noted that in L3C data the variables sses_bias, sses_standard_deviation, and sst_dtime are still empty. PFV53 data were collected through the operational periods of the NOAA-7 through NOAA-19 Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES), and are available from 1981 through the Present. Data for all these years are available as multiple NCEI accessions. PFV5.3 production is running on operational mode and will be updated on a quarterly basis.

British Oceanographic Data Centre's International sea level data system
The data available in the International Sea Level data system are a combination of data collected under the Global Sea Level Observing System (GLOSS), the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) programmes.
This high frequency delayed-mode data set provides quality controlled data from stations in the GLOSS Core Network, the network identified by the CLIVAR programme for ongoing climate monitoring and the network identified by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
The data assembly began with WOCE in early 1991 and continued until 2002. CLIVAR evolved from WOCE and started in 1995. Towards the end of the WOCE period BODC, jointly with the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL), became a GLOSS data archiving centre.
BODC is responsible for constructing the data set suitable for archiving and long-term preservation and handles hourly (or sub-hourly) values, together with ancillary variables (e.g. atmospheric pressure) where these are available.

This high frequency delayed-mode data set provides quality controlled data from stations in the GLOSS Core Network, the network identified by the CLIVAR programme for ongoing climate monitoring and the network identified by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
The data assembly began with WOCE in early 1991 and continued until 2002. CLIVAR evolved from WOCE and started in 1995. Towards the end of the WOCE period BODC, jointly with the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL), became a GLOSS data archiving centre.
BODC is responsible for constructing the data set suitable for archiving and long-term preservation and handles hourly (or sub-hourly) values, together with ancillary variables (e.g. atmospheric pressure) where these are available.

Canary Islands Integrated Marine Data Repository
REDMIC (the Canary Islands Integrated Marine Data Repository, acronym in Spanish) is a permanent systematic system for the storage, safeguard and service of marine data, following the philosophy behind OpenData and OpenScience. It was specifically designed for the Canary Islands and, by extension, Macaronesia. However, it has been approached as a pilot project with the intention of reapplying it to other regions and, overtime, using it to manage a public repository as a registry for marine data.
REDMIC is different to others in that marine data of whatever kind (maritime transport, oceanography, biodiversity, fisheries, etc.) are introduced in an integrated manner in the same system of geographical information. Therefore, the effort to gather all data is only made once at the beginning, so they can be used and combined as often as necessary with the utmost speed. REDMIC is inspired by the following principles: Exploitability: facilitating the successive use of data. Generavity: storing data by maximising its potential of use.
Traceability: providing data related to how the original data were obtained and allowing the knowledge of its modifications.
Publicity: publicly funded system for the safeguard, harmonisation and service of data. Versality: allowing for its use as a general repository (all kinds of data) or as an institutional repository (limited to a sort of information or product).

The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was designed by an international group of scientists as an integral part of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Study. TOGACOARE brought together scientists and support staff from 20 nations. The experiment combined oceanography, meteorology, and computer climate modeling to better understand the effect of tropical warm weather regions on the tropical ocean-global atmosphere system.
UCAR managed TOGA-COARE, the second-largest field program since GATE, with the establishment of the TOGA-COARE International Project Office in Boulder in 1990. Over 150 UCAR/NCAR staff were involved in the project.
The TOGA-COARE Records consist of budget information, correspondence, plans, reports, protocols, ship reports, meeting minutes, and handwritten notes. Meeting minutes and correspondence offer a window into the complexities of managing and executing a massive international field project.

Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service - In Situ Thematic Assembly Centre
The Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS), led by Mercator-Ocean is based on a distributed model of service production, relying on the expertise of a wide network of participating European organisations involved in operational oceanography.
The Service encompasses two kinds of production centres:
• 1. Monitoring and Forecasting Centres (MFCs), charged with maintaining numerical models of the ocean. There are seven MFCs: six for regional seas and one for the global ocean
• 2. Thematic Assembly Centres (TAC), which are tasked with the collection of ocean observations, both in situ (water column) and satellite observations.
The In Situ TAC is the component of the Copernicus Marine Service which ensures consistent and reliable access to a range of in situ data for the purpose of service production and validation.
In Situ TAC has two main objectives:
• 1. To collect multi-source, multi-platform, heterogeneous data, perform consistent quality control and distribute it in a common format (NetCDF) and in near-real-time (within 24 hours) to the CMEMS Marine Forecasting Centres (MFC), for assimilation into their numerical ocean models.
• 2. To supply the MFCs and downstream users with re-processed 25-50-year products in delayed mode. In addition to the near-real-time products, these delayed-mode products are useful for model validation or assimilation in ocean reanalysis and climate studies

Coriolis data centre
CORIOLIS contributes to the French operational oceanography program for the in-situ observations. The 7 institutes involved in operational oceanography in France (CNES, CNRS, Ifremer, IPEV, IRD, Météo-France, Shom) decided in 2001 to joint their efforts within Coriolis in order to :
• organize and maintain data acquisition in a real-time and delayed mode of in-situ measurements necessary for operational oceanography.
• set up an operational in-situ data centre,
• develop and improve the technology necessary for operational oceanography.
Its objective is to develop continuous, automatic, and permanent observation networks. The data collected will enable water properties to be mapped, such as temperature, and ocean circulation.
The importance of Coriolis is visible through the applications that are developed based on these data :
1. Coriolis, Myocean and the COPERNICUS Marine Core service: COPERNICUS is a major European initiative to monitor the state of earth's environment, support policy decisions, and provide a wide range of services to users. MyOcean is the first project of the ocean component of COPERNICUS, the so-called COPERNICUS Marine Core Service. Coriolis coordinates the MyOcean in-situ Thematic Assembly Center and provides in-situ data needed to constrain and validate the MyOcean global and regional Modelling and Forecasting Centers
2. Ocean variability inferred from in-situ data: The global ocean plays a major role in the Earth’s climate. One way of observing and understanding the Earth’s energy balance is to evaluate the average temperature change from the surface down to the deep ocean – the so called ocean heat content. Monthly gridded global temperature fields based on in-situ measurements have been used to estimate global mean heat content variations. A clear trend of the heat content during the past years has been highlighted using in-situ data.
3. new autonomous platforms to observe marine ecosystems: Marine ecosystems are a key component of the Earth system. Their evolution can now be monitored and analyzed thanks to biogeochemical sensors. Specifically designed for autonomous platforms, these sensors are able to measure biogeochemical parameters such as chlorophyll concentration and its vertical distribution. They have been demonstrated on Gliders and new Argo floats called PROVBIO.

The concept of Open Data is about making data held by public bodies available and easily accessible online for reuse and redistribution. As public bodies have progressed in areas like eGovernment and data analytics, the potential of data and, in particular, Open Data to help deliver economic, social and democratic benefits has become clearer. The data.gov.ie portal brings these datasets together in a single searchable website.
Data.gov.ie is intended to provide easy access to datasets that are free to use, reuse, and redistribute. The portal is operated by the Government Reform Unit of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
The Open Data listed in data.gov.ie is published by over 80 Government Departments and Public Bodies. Many datasets are individually published and updated by public organisations. Other datasets are harvested daily from existing, domain-specific data catalogues. Data.gov.ie currently harvests data from:

In Geo-Seas there are 26 marine geological and geophysical data centres, located in 17 European maritime countries. These data centres manage large sets of marine geological and geophysical data, originating from their own institutes and from other parties in their countries, in a variety of data management systems and configurations. A major objective and challenge in Geo-Seas has been to provide an integrated and harmonised overview and access to these data resources, using a distributed network approach.
This is achieved by implementing the Common Data Index (CDI) service, that gives users a highly detailed insight of the availability and geographical spreading of marine data across the European data centres. The CDI service provides an ISO19115-based index (metadatabase) to individual data sets (such as samples, time series, profiles, trajectories, etc) and a unique interface to online data access. The CDI service is a component of the SeaDataNet infrastructure and its development and maintenance are governed by the SeaDataNet Technical Task Group (TTG). The Geo-Seas development team has adopted the CDI service and adapted several components (metadata format, vocabularies, list of supported data formats) for making these better fit for the purpose of handling also geological and geophysical data sets. This has been done in cooperation with SeaDataNet TTG and has resulted in an upgraded CDI service that has been adopted by SeaDataNet as well.
All 26 Geo-Seas data centres are fully operational delivering data directly through the Geo-Seas discovery and access service. As a result there are now in excess of 140,000 metadata records and corresponding data sets available via the Geo-Seas portal.

Data Access - Ireland-Biscay-Iberia Regional Operational Oceanographic System
In Situ observations are acquired at the national level but useful to the entire IBI community. That's why in 2006 we decided to join our efforts to ease access to data in the IBI area by setting up a portal that would integrate data from the various national contributors. The goal is to provide free access, in a homogeneous way, to in-situ data in the IBI area whatever institutes collected and processed it. We first focus on real-time data access and will then address the delayed mode data access for re-analysis purposes.

Data Archive Directory - NASA SeaWiFS Bio optical Archive and Storage System
Archived data include measurements of apparent and inherent optical properties phytoplankton pigment concentrations and other related oceanographic and atmospheric data such as water temperature salinity stimulated fluorescence and aerosol optical thickness. Data are collected using a number of different instrument packages such as profiles buoys and handheld instruments and manufacturers on a variety of platforms including ships and moorings.
High-quality in situ measurements are a prerequisite for satellite data product validation, algorithm development, and many climate-related inquiries. As such, the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) maintains a local repository of in situ oceanographic and atmospheric data to support their regular scientific analyses. The SeaWiFS Project originally developed this system, SeaBASS, to catalog radiometric and phytoplankton pigment data used their calibration and validation activities. To facilitate the assembly of a global data set, SeaBASS was expanded with oceanographic and atmospheric data collected by participants in the SIMBIOS Program, under NASA Research Announcements NRA-96 and NRA-99, which has aided considerably in minimizing spatial bias and maximizing data acquisition rates. Archived data include measurements of apparent and inherent optical properties, phytoplankton pigment concentrations, and other related oceanographic and atmospheric data, such as water temperature, salinity, stimulated fluorescence, and aerosol optical thickness. Data are collected using a number of different instrument packages, such as profilers, buoys, and hand-held instruments, and manufacturers on a variety of platforms, including ships and moorings.

The DBCP is an international program coordinating the use of autonomous data buoys to observe atmospheric and oceanographic conditions, over ocean areas where few other measurements are taken.
Data buoys measure air pressure, sea surface temperature, ocean current velocity, air temperature, humidity, wave characteristics and wind velocity across all oceans. The DBCP aims to increase the quantity, quality, global coverage and timeliness of atmospheric and oceanographic data. These observations are relayed by satellite and used immediately to improve forecasts and therefore increase marine safety.
The DBCP encourages free and open access to data. Real-time data sharing is achieved via the Global Telecommunications System of WMO. At present, all of the archiving agencies and many of the operational and research bodies make provision for the release of drifter data to scientific and other customers. In particular, many data are available via the web, either in the form of trackplots or as data sets. In many cases, the policies relating to the release and use of these data are not immediately clear. The Panel is seeking clarification from these agencies, and from its action groups, with a view to developing a coordinated data access policy for drifter data within the letter and the spirit of the WMO data exchange policy defined in WMO Congress Resolution 40 (Cg-XII).
The first DBCP session took place in 1974. At that time it was known as the Drifting Buoy Cooperation Panel.
The DBCP was the first Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) component to achieve its initial goal, when in 2005, it deployed its 1250th drifter near Halifax Harbor, Nova Scotia. A ceremony was held aboard the Tall Ship Silva in association with the JCOMM-II meeting to put the buoy in the water and to commemorate this historic event.
UKMO ODAS Buoy in the yard at Southampton, old design. Courtesy of H Viola, 2009The DBCP worked over many years to design a drifting buoy to suit the needs of Oceanographers and Meteorologists. It has also provided support for the development of moored buoy arrays and ensuring that the data from those buoys was made available in real-time. As such, they form an essential component of marine observing systems established as part of the World Weather Watch, the World Climate Research Programme, the Global Ocean Observing System, the Global Climate Observing System and other meteorological and oceanographic operational and research programs.
The primary objective of the DBCP is to maintain and coordinate all components of the network of over 1250 drifting buoys and 400 moored buoys, which provides measurements such as sea-surface temperature, surface current velocity, air temperature and wind speed and direction. This data is useful for Weather and Ocean Forecasts and research and additionally can be used to complement or validate remotely-sensed data and operational models. The DBCP also explores and evaluates new technologies and uses those which prove successful to improve operations.

Data Center Facility - Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System (ODIS id: 6)
Data Center Facility - Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System
The Data Center is the core of SOCIB. Through it, SOCIB is developing and implementing a general data management system to guarantee international standards, quality assurance and inter-operability. The combination of different sources and types of information (time series, profiles, trajectories, grids/meshes, images, acoustic data, etc.) requires appropriate methods to ingest, catalogue, display and distribute this information. The general goal of the SOCIB Data Centre is to provide users with a system to locate and download the data of interest (near real time and delayed mode) and to visualize and manage the information. Following SOCIB principles, data need to be: 1) discoverable and accessible; 2) freely available; 3) interoperable and standardized (Tintoré et al. 2012 and 2013). These principles are in line with the challenges and opportunities of Open Data (European Commission 2010; Reichman et al. 2011; Urban et al. 2012).
To accomplish the full lifecycle data (from the modeling and observing systems ingestion up to the user), the data center has defined seven steps for the Data Management Process: (1) Platform management and communication; (2) Quality Control assurance; (3) Metadata Aggregation and Standardization; (4) Data Archive; (5) Data Search and Discovery; (6) Data Policy and distribution; (7) Data Viewing.
The Data Centre of SOCIB is therefore responsible for directing the different stages of data management, ranging from data acquisition to its distribution and visualization through web applications. The implemented system in the Data Centre relies on open source solutions, following other architectures adopted within the context of marine spatial data infrastructures (Cinnirella et al. 2012).
The main data managed by SOCIB comes from its own observation platforms (e.g., HF radar, gliders, drifters, buoys), numerical models or information generated from the SIAS Division. In addition, the Data Centre also performs the management of data coming from external data providers through various collaborations, for example with Harbour Authorities (e.g., Puertos del Estado) or with research groups (e.g., CSIC).
Data processing involves managing different processes such as standardization and data conversion, as well as data validation. Processes include data ingestion, quality controls, generation of new products and data archival. The generation of metadata follows interoperable and international standards in order to facilitate data discovery, while adopting the European Directive INSPIRE (European Commission 2007). Data Centre uses different applications for data processing; these include Java, Matlab, R, Python and Geographic Information System (GIS). Data from observation platforms and numerical models are stored in netCDF repositories, while vector data are stored in spatial databases implemented with PostGIS. The management of metadata is done through two main tools. On the one hand, all metadata coming from the SOCIB observation platforms are managed by an internal application. On the other hand, the rest of the metadata is edited and stored using the application Geonetwork.
The distribution and access to data is done through web services (i.e., OGC, REST). THREDDS and Geoserver are used to generate OGC services from the netCDF repository and PostGIS databases, respectively. In addition, the Data Centre has implemented a REST web service, called data discovery. These services allow that data generated by SOCIB could be integrated into applications developed by the Data Centre itself or by third parties, thus providing system interoperability. The OGC catalogue service (CSW) is currently implemented with the Geonetwork catalogue. However, further developments are currently underway to harvest the THREDDS catalogue by Geonetwork to integrate all the metadata in a single catalogue service (CSW).
Finally, the SOCIB Data Center also develops specific tools for the different facilities when required. As a result, several web applications have been implemented, responding to interests from a wide range of users. As an example, some applications are designed to manage the instrumentation platforms by the researchers, while other applications are directed to stakeholders and general public by providing a general view of the data produced at SOCIB. These applications have been developed using different technologies (e.g., OpenLayers, KML, iOS). All of them use the web services described above, and some of them can incorporate OGC services provided by external organizations.

Data Directory - Global Ocean Ship based Hydrographic Investigations Program
The Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) brings together scientists with interests in physical oceanography, the carbon cycle, marine biogeochemistry and ecosystems, and other users and collectors of ocean interior data, and coordinates a network of globally sustained hydrographic sections as part of the global ocean/climate observing system including physical oceanography, the carbon cycle, marine biogeochemistry, and ecosystems.
GO-SHIP provides an approximately decadal resolution of the changes in inventories of heat, freshwater, carbon, oxygen, nutrients, and transient tracers, covering the ocean basins from coast to coast and full depth (top to bottom), with global measurements of the highest, required accuracy to detect these changes. The GO-SHIP principal scientific objectives are: (1) understanding and documenting the large-scale ocean water property distributions, their changes, and drivers of those changes, and (2) addressing questions of how a future ocean will increase in dissolved inorganic carbon, become more acidified and more stratified, and experience changes in circulation and ventilation processes due to global warming and the altered water cycle.
The GO-SHIP Panel was established in 2007 by the IOCCP and CLIVAR to develop a strategy for a sustained global repeat hydrography program as a contribution to the OceanObs09 Conference (September 2009) and to revise the 1994 WOCE hydrographic program manual. Based on community discussions at the OceanObs09 Conference, the Panel recommended the development of a sustained repeat hydrography program to:
develop formal international agreements for a sustained international repeat ship-based hydrography program, including an internationally-agreed strategy and implementation plan building on the guidelines in the Community White Paper,
advocate for national contributions to this strategy and participation in the global program,
provide a central forum for communication and coordination, and
develop syntheses of hydrographic data, in partnership with national, regional, and global research programs.

Data Discovery and Access Service - Blue-Cloud (ODIS id: 2397)
The Blue-Cloud project is federating distributed marine data resources, computing platforms, and analytical services to better understand and manage the many aspects of ocean sustainability. In order to do so, a “Blue-Cloud technical framework” has been set-up, where leading marine data management infrastructures are federated with horizontal e-infrastructures to maximise the exploitation of data resources available from different sources.
The Blue-Cloud framework consists of two major technical components: a Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access service to serve federated discovery and access to blue data infrastructures, and a Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE) to provide computing platforms and analytical services facilitating the collaboration between researchers.
The Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access service is one of the two main components of the Blue-Cloud technical framework, next to the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (VRE).
The Blue Cloud Data Discovery and Access service architecture is based upon a combination of the GeoDab metadata broker service of CNR-IIA, and the SeaDataNet CDI service modules as developed by MARIS, IFREMER, and EUDAT in the framework of the EU SeaDataCloud project. For the Blue-Cloud Discovery and Access service and its modules, additional developments will be needed such as adapting and upgrading existing services, adding new services, testing modules, integrating modules, and testing the integrated service, in order to achieve the planned functionality.
The overall concept is that the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access service will harvest metadata from the blue data infrastructures by means of protocols such as CSW or OAI-PMH. The project is preparing a mapping per catalogue service of each blue data infrastructure to extract and harmonise individual metadata outputs to a common metadata model (ISO19115 – 19139), starting at the syntactic level.

Data Portal - Global Cryosphere Watch at the World Meteorological Organization
The GCW Website does not contain any raw data. Instead, data can be accessed through the GCW Data Portal. The Portal is a web interface that contains information about datasets (metadata), but not the data itself. Instead, it links to datasets that are stored at partner data centres. It is compatible with the WMO Information Service (WIS). The GCW Portal was developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute ("Met Norway" or "MetNo").
The GCW Data Portal, or catalogue, is dedicated to data management and to providing specific information on datasets. The data management component is an enabling service in the sense that it identifies relevant datasets and their locations and provides an interface that can be used in the evaluation of GCW data and products. The portal will support simple visualization (generation of maps or diagrams like time series) and transformations such as reformatting and re-projection of data, if the data are served through the appropriate interfaces and forms.
GCW data management shall integrate datasets and provides access to data and information on past, present, and future cryospheric conditions. To achieve these results, the data portal must be attached to real-time and near-real-time data management systems and to data archives. While interfacing with existing data management systems, GCW respects partnership and ownership. GCW itself will rely on distributed data management technologies and partners (e.g. CryoNet stations) to establish the GCW catalogue. This process will create a unified interface to datasets in an otherwise fragmented terrain. No information on data (discovery metadata) will be kept in the GCW catalogue without an agreement with the data producer/data owner.
GCW data management follows a metadata driven approach in which datasets are described through discovery metadata exchanged between contributing data centers and the GCW catalogue.
In the GCW context, at least two types of metadata are relevant. One is “discovery” or index metadata identifying general characteristics of a dataset, including what was measured where and when, potential restrictions on data use, data custodians, and the available interfaces to the actual dataset. This is the type of metadata that will be exchanged within GCW. Another type, “use” metadata, is required when a user has accessed a dataset and begins to use it. Such metadata typically include a specification of variables, units used, how missing values are encoded, and other details on the contents of the dataset. The third type of metadata is interpretation or context metadata for observational data (e.g., data quality, instrumentation used, processing performed, and environmental conditions), which allow data to be interpreted in context. The ingested discovery metadata will be harvested from project specific, national, and international catalogues. Some examples are given in Figure 1. In addition to harvesting existing catalogues, the data management part of the GCW portal will facilitate forms for submission of metadata on datasets not handled by existing catalogues. Successful exchange of metadata will involve some degree of adaptation of systems on either side.

Abstract
The GCW Website does not contain any raw data. Instead, data can be accessed through the GCW Data Portal. The Portal is a web interface that contains information about datasets (metadata), but not the data itself. Instead, it links to datasets that are stored at partner data centres. It is compatible with the WMO Information Service (WIS). The GCW Portal was developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute ("Met Norway" or "MetNo").
The GCW Data Portal, or catalogue, is dedicated to data management and to providing specific information on datasets. The data management component is an enabling service in the sense that it identifies relevant datasets and their locations and provides an interface that can be used in the evaluation of GCW data and products. The portal will support simple visualization (generation of maps or diagrams like time series) and transformations such as reformatting and re-projection of data, if the data are served through the appropriate interfaces and forms.
GCW data management shall integrate datasets and provides access to data and information on past, present, and future cryospheric conditions. To achieve these results, the data portal must be attached to real-time and near-real-time data management systems and to data archives. While interfacing with existing data management systems, GCW respects partnership and ownership. GCW itself will rely on distributed data management technologies and partners (e.g. CryoNet stations) to establish the GCW catalogue. This process will create a unified interface to datasets in an otherwise fragmented terrain. No information on data (discovery metadata) will be kept in the GCW catalogue without an agreement with the data producer/data owner.
GCW data management follows a metadata driven approach in which datasets are described through discovery metadata exchanged between contributing data centers and the GCW catalogue.
In the GCW context, at least two types of metadata are relevant. One is “discovery” or index metadata identifying general characteristics of a dataset, including what was measured where and when, potential restrictions on data use, data custodians, and the available interfaces to the actual dataset. This is the type of metadata that will be exchanged within GCW. Another type, “use” metadata, is required when a user has accessed a dataset and begins to use it. Such metadata typically include a specification of variables, units used, how missing values are encoded, and other details on the contents of the dataset. The third type of metadata is interpretation or context metadata for observational data (e.g., data quality, instrumentation used, processing performed, and environmental conditions), which allow data to be interpreted in context. The ingested discovery metadata will be harvested from project specific, national, and international catalogues. Some examples are given in Figure 1. In addition to harvesting existing catalogues, the data management part of the GCW portal will facilitate forms for submission of metadata on datasets not handled by existing catalogues. Successful exchange of metadata will involve some degree of adaptation of systems on either side. However, in order to establish a sustainable system, the number of standards the GCW portal has to support cannot be too many. Furthermore, the actual data also has to be standardised to support integration of data among data providers. Concerning the search model used for the GCW portal, search for scientific parameters is currently based on the GCMD Science Keywords. All datasets must be documented in the English language.

Data Portal - West Coast Ocean Partnership (ODIS id: 1747)
he West Coast Ocean Data Portal is a project to increase discovery and connectivity of ocean and coastal data and people to better inform regional resource management, policy development, and ocean planning. The Portal informs priority West Coast ocean issues such as tracking sources and patterns of marine debris, adaptation to sea-level rise, understanding impacts of ocean acidification on our coasts, and marine planning.
The Portal links existing data systems together to provide an easy to use gateway to discover ocean and coastal data. Coastal decision-makers, researchers, and stakeholders use the Portal to access data and decision-support tools they need to understand and address high-priority regional issues. The Portal was originally funded through NOAA's Regional Ocean Partnership grant which supported development of tools to help coastal managers track marine debris to help prioritize clean ups and advocate for policies to reduce the impact of trash on our beaches. Technical enhancement and development funding to maintain and upgrade the Portal has been provided through grants from NOAA and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

The WDS Data Portal is a prototype allowing retrieval of datasets from participating WDS Members. As a first step, it provides access to currently available metadata catalogues using international and community agreed standards.
The prototype was started with initial candidates willing to participate in setting up the portal framework. It is currently being updated to include more participating WDS Members and will be relaunched.
Participating WDS Members need to implement current standards in the field of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) and can generally use the resulting interoperability to network also with other communities and portals such as the Ocean Data Portal (IODE), the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD), or the Global Earth Observations System of Systems (GEOSS).
The prototype is hosted by PANGAEA (WDS Regular Member).

Data View - Fengyun Satellite Data Centre (ODIS id: 841)
FengYun-3, or FY-3 satellites, are China's second-generation polar-orbiting meteorological satellites, with substantively enhanced functionalities and technical capabilities. They are designed to enhance China's three dimensional atmospheric sounding capability and global data acquisition capability, in an effort to collect more cloud and surface characteristics data, from which meteorologists may infer out the atmospheric, land surface and sea surface parameters that are global, all-weather, three-dimensional, quantitative, and multi-spectral. FY-3 meteorological satellites have their applications mainly in the following four aspects:
1) Provide global meteorological parameters with a balanced resolution to numerical weather prediction;
2) Provide diverse meteorological and geophysical parameters to global change studies, including climate variation studies, and to climate projections;
3) Monitor large-scale natural disasters and surface ecological environment;
4) Provide weather information on any part of the world for specialized activities, including aviation, marine activities among others, and provide meteorological support for national defense.
FY-3 satellites are developed and manufactured in two groups. FY-3A and FY-3B in the first group was launched on May 17, 2008 and November 5, 2010, respectively. With a further enhanced remote sensing capability, the second group of FY-3 satellites will be launched after 2013, with a life expectancy of 15 years.

Description of Daily Sea Surface Temperature Analysis for Climate Monitoring - Japan Metereological Agency
The method used for Sea Surface Temperature (SST) analysis in climate monitoring at JMA was updated to an approach based on in-situ observation in March 2006. For details of the analysis, see Ishii et al. (2005).
SST analysis involves a resolution of 1º latitude and 1º longitude. The east-west grid points run eastward from 0.5ºE to 0.5ºW, while the north-south grid points run northward from 89.5ºS to 89.5ºN. The daily analysis scheme is based on the optimum interpolation method, and the SST deviation from the normal for the previous day's analysis is multiplied by 0.95 for use as a first guess. The inputs of daily analysis are marine meteorological data for the seven-day period centered on the day in question. Observed data averaged daily in 1.5º x 1.5º boxes are used as super-observations to save processing time.
Bias correction for past SST observation reports was performed using the method of Folland and Parker (1995). Quality control for observation data is based on the checking of ship tracks, dates and positions in reports, and any erroneous data are corrected automatically when marine meteorological data are compiled at JMA. Ship call signs with large data biases are automatically blacklisted in the daily analysis based on the checking of such biases in the three-month period whose central month contains the day in question. In the operational analysis, SSTs recorded over the past 30 days are re-analyzed sequentially every day with a delay of 31 days for the earliest analysis and 1 day for the latest in order to allow the utilization of delayed data and make the blacklist with the previous three months of data to be checked.
Information on sea ice concentration is used to estimate SSTs in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans.
Daily updated operational SST data are utilized for the following purposes along with historical data:
Monitoring of equatorial Pacific SSTs, El Niño/La Niña evolution, Pacific Decadal Oscillation and global warming over 100 years,
Input for the operational ocean data assimilation system (named MOVE/MRI.COM-G2) and historical oceanic analysis,
Input for the Japanese 55-year Re-analysis (JRA-55) and JRA-55 real-time analysis.
Monthly average SST data are posted on the Global Sea Surface Temperature Data Sets. The characteristics of the data are described in JMA (2006), which is available on the Monthly Report on Climate System Separated Volume No.12.

EAF Planning and Implementation Tools Database - FAO
The EAF Tools Database provides access to descriptions of all the tools that have been identified that could assist facilitators, managers and planners move through each of the four steps required for the adoption of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) into their management plans in an efficient and effective manner. Each of these tool fact sheets includes an overview description of how the tool works along with information that can assist whether it will be the most appropriate tool for use within a specific fishery.
These criteria include the cost, what background information and resources and capacity are required to use the tool effectively, stakeholder participation it will generate plus user tips on when the tool is likely to work well or not. Because the EAF Toolbox is largely focused at assisting fishery planning in developing countries, the information provided on more complex or expensive methods and tools is generally less detailed than is provided for the simpler methods.
While some of the tools are specific to fisheries management planning, many cover general planning activities, consultation and facilitation which would be relevant to any planning and implementation process.

eAtlas GeoNetwork Catalogue - Australian Institute of Marine Science
The Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (WTWHA) is famous for its wildlife, biodiversity and natural beauty, but none of these important assets are bought or sold in the market place, so none are explicitly ‘valued’ with a price. Recognising that absence of price does not mean absence of value, this project seeks to improve our understanding of the importance of these non-market ‘values’ to a variety of different stakeholders. How important is a beautiful view or a cassowary to the community, to tourists and to the tourism industry? How would people feel if there fewer (or more) opportunities to enjoy those beautiful views or to observe these charismatic birds?
The project will provide environmental managers throughout the world with an illustrated, easy to understand, means of assessing the importance of these types of non-market values to a variety of different stakeholder groups in World Heritage listed forests and other scenic environments.

European Directory of Marine Environmental Data (ODIS id: 356)
EDMED, initiated by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) in 1991 within the EU Marine Science and Technology (MAST) framework, is a comprehensive reference to the marine data sets and collections held within European research laboratories, so as to provide marine scientists, engineers and policymakers with a simple mechanism for their identification. It has established itself as a European standard for indexing and searching data sets relating to the marine environment.
It covers a wide range of disciplines including marine meteorology; physical, chemical and biological oceanography; sedimentology; marine biology and fisheries; environmental quality; coastal and estuarine studies; marine geology and geophysics; etc.
Data sets are described in EDMED irrespective of their format (e.g. digital databases or files, analogue records, paper charts, hard-copy tabulations, photographs and videos, geological samples, biological specimens etc). Currently, EDMED describes more than 4000 data sets, held at over 700 Data Holding Centres across Europe. Entries are prepared by institutes and collated by SeaDataNet partners who are responsible for populating and maintaining their national directories. These national directories are combined to provide a single centralised system managed by BODC.
EDMED is one of the SeaDataNet metadata services. These give overviews of marine organisations in Europe and their engagement in marine research projects, managing large datasets, and data acquisition by research vessels and monitoring programmes for the European seas and global oceans.

European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet): Chemistry
EMODnet Chemistry provides easy access to marine chemical data, standardised harmonized validated data collections and reliable data products, which are highly relevant to assessing ecosystem status according to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, for all European marine regions.
Numerous substances are considered; most of them are invisible to the naked eye and can only be detected and tracked using special sensors or by laboratory analysis. This evidence-based information is essential for understanding seawater chemistry and its natural and/or human-induced variations. It is also essential for identifying and taking action against spatio-temporal environmental changes that pose risks to marine ecosystems and human health.

European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet): Human Activities
EMODnet Human Activities aims to facilitate access to existing marine data on activities carried out in EU waters, by building a single entry point for geographic information on 20 different themes.
Data on marine and maritime human activities are essential for effectively managing our seas and oceans in a sustainable way. This is becoming increasingly necessary due to growing population size and greater demand for resources, combined with advances in technology, resulting in a huge increase in the number and extent of marine and maritime human activities. These range from established activities such as fisheries and shipping to more recent activity such as construction of offshore energy facilities. Whilst there is considerable data available on these activities it is often only available on a per country, regional or sector-by-sector basis.

The portal is based on free, open-source technology, using both MapServer and OpenLayers. MapServer is used as the geographic data rendering engine. MapServer is designed to render vector and raster data using advanced cartographic output. OpenLayers is a map viewing library that provides a JavaScript API which makes it easy to incorporate maps from a variety of sources into a webpage or application and configure map tools. The portal uses MySQL database technology to hold and serve the GIS data. Web Feature Services will be used to allow request for geographical features across the web using platform-independent calls.

Fishing Vessel Monitoring Systems - FAO
A fishing vessel monitoring system (VMS) is a cost-effective tool for the successful monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) of fisheries activities. VMS provides a fishery management agency with accurate and timely information about the location and activity of regulated fishing vessels.
Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) have greatly increased the potential efficiency of Monitoring Control and Surveillance of fishing vessels (MCS). In the last few years several countries have introduced VMS which enable the activities of fishing vessels to be monitored and indeed for such vessels to actively report on catches to the fisheries management authority. This document summarizes the state of the art of VMS and gives guidance to fisheries administrators considering implementing VMS in their fisheries management systems and to all other personnel involved in fisheries MCS.
VMS provides another very effective tool for MCS, particularly for some developing countries that lack the financial and physical resources to support an effective conventional MCS capability. In this respect, indications are given for the cost of setting up and operating a national VMS system. For those countries which already have existing MCS, VMS will make those conventional MCS measures more effective and possibly less costly. Attention is drawn to the need for recommendations on common data exchange formats and protocols.
This is seen as an immediate problem which needs urgent attention. Eventually these recommendations may be adopted as an international standard for a common international data exchange format in VMS and in catch reporting. Finally, the role VMS will have on the implementation of the UN Fish Stocks Agreement, the FAO Compliance Agreement and the FAO Code of Conduct is also addressed. Coastal States, which apply VMS to national and foreign fishing vessels licensed to fish in their EEZs, can monitor the activities of such vessels very effectively and economically, thereby increasing the effectiveness of their MCS.

This document summarizes the state of the art of VMS and gives guidance to fisheries administrators considering implementing VMS in their fisheries management systems and to all other personnel involved in fisheries MCS.
VMS provides another very effective tool for MCS, particularly for some developing countries that lack the financial and physical resources to support an effective conventional MCS capability. In this respect, indications are given for the cost of setting up and operating a national VMS system. For those countries which already have existing MCS, VMS will make those conventional MCS measures more effective and possibly less costly. Attention is drawn to the need for recommendations on common data exchange formats and protocols.
This is seen as an immediate problem which needs urgent attention. Eventually these recommendations may be adopted as an international standard for a common international data exchange format in VMS and in catch reporting. Finally, the role VMS will have on the implementation of the UN Fish Stocks Agreement, the FAO Compliance Agreement and the FAO Code of Conduct is also addressed. Coastal States, which apply VMS to national and foreign fishing vessels licensed to fish in their EEZs, can monitor the activities of such vessels very effectively and economically, thereby increasing the effectiveness of their MCS.

GDP Drifter Data - Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory - NOAA (ODIS id: 909)
GDP Drifter Data - Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory - NOAA
Data from the Global Drifter Program (GDP) buoys are available in various formats.
Real-Time Drifter Data:
Real-time drifter data and graphs are distributed on the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) for improved weather and climate forecasting and ocean state estimation. To access real-time drifter data and/or plot trajectories for recently deployed drifters, select the desired option at Real-Time Drifter Data.
Six-Hourly Interpolated Drifter Data:
The Drifter Data Assembly Center (DAC) at AOML applies quality control procedures to drifter data (position and temperature) and interpolates them to 6-hour intervals using an optimum interpolation procedure called kriging, which is commonly used for two and three-dimensional analyses. Interpolated data, and metadata, from more than 30,000 drifters are available for download at Six-Hourly Interpolated Drifter Data. These data go back to the earliest available GDP observations in 1979.
Hourly Interpolated Data:
The hourly drifter dataset is a valuable new tool for the study of relatively small-scale and high-frequency oceanic processes. In particular, velocity rotary spectra demonstrate that high frequency tidal and internal wave motions are detectable globally. To learn more about this new tool and download the entire dataset, visit Hourly Interpolated Dataset. These data are available primarily since the early 2000's when satellite coverage was sufficient to resolve the hourly motion.

GeoNetwork - FAO
FAO GeoNetwork's purpose is to improve access to and integrated use of spatial data and information, to support decision making, to promote multidisciplinary approaches to sustainable development, and to enhance understanding of the benefits of geographic information.
GeoNetwork opensource allows us to easily share geographically referenced thematic information between different organizations.
The FAO GeoNetwork provides Internet access to interactive maps, satellite imagery and related spatial databases maintained by FAO and its partners.
It's purpose is to improve access to and integrated use of spatial data and information.
Through this website FAO facilitates multidisciplinary approaches to sustainable development and supports decision making in agriculture, forestry, fisheries and food security.
Maps, including those derived from satellite imagery, are effective communicational tools and play an important role in the work of various types of users:
Decision Makers: e.g. Sustainable development planners and humanitarian and emergency managers in need of quick, reliable and up to date user-friendly cartographic products as a basis for action and better plan and monitor their activities.
GIS Experts in need of exchanging consistent and updated geographical data.
Spatial Analysts in need of multidisciplinary data to perform preliminary geographical analysis and reliable forecasts to better set up appropriate interventions in vulnerable areas.
The FAO GeoNetwork allows to easily share spatial data among different FAO Units, other UN Agencies, NGO's and other institutions.
The FAO GeoNetwork site is powered by GeoNetwork opensource.
FAO and WFP, UNEP and more recently OCHA, have combined their research and mapping expertise to develop GeoNetwork opensource as a common strategy to effectively share their spatial databases including digital maps, satellite images and related statistics. The three agencies make extensive use of computer-based data visualization tools, known as Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) software, mostly to create maps that combine various layers of information. GeoNetwork opensource provides them with the capacity to access a wide selection of maps and other spatial information stored in different databases around the world through a single entry point.
GeoNetwork opensource has been developed to connect spatial information communities and their data using a modern architecture, which is at the same time powerful and low cost, based on the principles of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and International and Open Standards for services and protocols (a.o. from ISO/TC211 and OGC).

GeoNetwork Catalogue - United Nations Environmental Programme DEWA/GRID-Europe
DEWA/GRID-Europe is one of United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) major centres for data and information management, with a unique, "value-adding" mandate in the handling of global and regional environmental data, which in turn support the environment assessment and early warning activities of UNEP and its partners. DEWA/GRID-Europe is supported by a "Partnership Agreement" between UNEP, the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the University of Geneva.
This dataset includes an estimate of flood frequency.
It is based on three sources:
1) A GIS modeling using a statistical estimation of peak-flow magnitude and a hydrological model using HydroSHEDS dataset and the Manning equation to estimate river stage for the calculated discharge value.
2) Observed flood from 1999 to 2007, obtained from the Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO).
3) The frequency was set using the frequency from UNEP/GRID-Europe PREVIEW flood dataset. In area where no information was available, it was set to 50 years returning period.
Unit is expected average number of event per 100 years.
This product was designed by UNEP/GRID-Europe for the Global Assessment Report on Risk Reduction (GAR).
It was modeled using global data.

Global Centre for Information Systems Portal - Moscow
For a long time at the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide information the Global Telecommunication System (GTS) was used. Now the GTS is moving into the WMO Information System, which uses modern technology for data management and production of national meteorological services and remote access to data and services.
The Russian segment of the WMO Information System (R-WIS) is the "core" of the Integrated information and telecommunication systems for collecting, sharing, delivery and distribution of hydrometeorological information and information about environmental pollution created in Roshydromet, and is designed for the international exchange of information within the WIS. Currently, the main technical solutions of the construction of the WIS-R and the prototype of the data management system were developed.
The Global Centre for Information Systems WMO (GISC / GISC - PG "Aviamettelekom") is a major center of R-WIS and has been collecting and disseminating global information structure is defined by WMO, Guide N 9 (including C1), its backup and restore if necessary. GISC is an entry point through the unified portal, users and metadata catalog, for all requests for information, WIS. The portal involved mechanisms for the dissemination of information through subscription and support requests for the data sets specified by the user interactively.
Connected to the GISCs data collection and production (DCPC / DCPC - FGBU "RIHMI-WDC" and other designated agency Rosgidromet) responsible for the collection and production of sets of regional or specialized data, forecast products, the other problem-oriented information, as well as its distribution and archiving.
National Centres (NC / N - AHEM / CHEM Hydromet) collect and disseminate data at the national level, as well as coordinate or authorize the use of the WIS by national users through procedures established by the permanent representative to the WMO.

Global Information System Center Melbourne (ODIS id: 902)
GISC Melbourne is part of Australia's commitment to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Information System (WIS) project. WIS is an international effort to provide a single coordinated global infrastructure for the discovery, collection and sharing of information in support of all WMO and related international programmes.
The WMO GTS (Global Telecommunications System) has been an essential part of the distribution system of operationally-critical meteorological data. WIS extended the GTS functions to allow many organisations who do not have the access to GTS, to obtain data online.
From the GISC Melbourne portal, you can search for data and products currently listed in the catalogue. Once you have found a product you are interested in, you can request direct access to the most recent products (up to 24 hours old) or set up a subscription to get the products delivered when they arrive at GISC Melbourne.
Initially, the GISC Melbourne catalogue will only contain WMO Essential and Additional data, as defined under WMO Resolutions, 40 (Cg-XII) and 25. In the future, this would extend to other products.

Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network
GOA-ON is a collaborative international approach to document the status and progress of ocean acidification in open-ocean, coastal, and estuarine environments, to understand the drivers and impacts of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems, and to provide spatially and temporally resolved biogeochemical data necessary to optimize modeling for ocean acidification.
The GOA-ON Data Explorer provides access and visualization to ocean acidification data and data synthesis products being collected around the world from a wide range of sources, including moorings, research cruises, and fixed time series stations. Layers contain contoured world-wide data; Platforms include icons for various observing assets, some of which display real-time data and many of which include links to data and metadata. For a given asset measuring carbonate chemistry, metadata includes information on which parameters are measured, links to data providers, and other useful details. The inventory of GOA-ON assets can be searched interactively by region, platform type, and variables by using the Filters tool.

Global Ocean Currents Database - NOAA (ODIS id: 840)
The National Centers for Environmental Information is proud to announce the Global Ocean Currents Database (GOCD) is a product generated by NCEI. It is derived from NCEI AIPs that hold in situ ocean current data from a diverse range of instruments, collection protocols, processing methods, and data storage formats. For acceptance into the GOCD, the data must have sufficient quality control and thorough documentation. The GODC merges the variety of original formats into the NCEI standard network common data form (NetCDF) format. From the shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler sets, the GOCD creates files that hold single vertical ocean currents profiles. The GOCD spans 1962 to 2013.

The Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) is an international archive of data up to 200 years old and fosters multinational and global long-term hydrological studies. Originally established three decades ago, the aim of the GRDC is to help earth scientists analyse global climate trends and assess environmental impacts and risks. Operating under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) the database of quality controlled “historical” mean daily and monthly discharge data grows steadily and currently comprises river discharge data of more than 9500 stations from 161 countries.
The exchange of hydrological data and information on a global scale is the principal reason for operating GRDC. National Hydrological and Hydro-Meteorological Services as primary providers of river discharge data and associated metadata and the scientific research community utilising this unique data collection are partners connected by GRDC. Positioned as a facilitator for exchanges between data providers and data users, the GRDC has become a focal point for international cooperation. Researchers, universities and other organizations make use of the facilities available for research programmes and projects.

Global Tuna Catches by Stock - FAO Fisheries Division (ODIS id: 1025)
Global Tuna Catches by Stock - FAO Fisheries Division
This database contains, for the principal market tuna species, nominal catches by fishing gear, species, stock, fishing country and year from 1950 to 2010.
Tuna and tuna-like species are very important economically and a significant source of food. They include approximately forty species occurring in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans and in the Mediterranean Sea. Their global production has tended to increase continuously from less than 0.6 million tonnes in 1950 to above 6 million tonnes today.
The so-called principal market tuna species are the most important among the tuna and tuna-like species from the catch weight and economical view points. They are landed in numerous locations around the world, traded on the nearly global scale and also processed and consumed in many locations worldwide. In 2010, their catch was approximately four million tonnes, which represents about 66% of the total catch of all tuna and tuna-like species. Most catches of the principal market tuna species are taken from the Pacific (70.5% of the total catch of principal market tuna species in 2008), with the Indian contributing much more (19.5% in 2010) than the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea (10.0% in 2010).

High Resolution XBT/XCTD Network Site - SIO
Repeat high resolution expendable Bathythermograph (XBT) transects have been collected along a number of commercial shipping routes spanning the Pacific Ocean, the Drake Passage, and Tasmania to Dumont d'Urville. On each of the transects generally four surveys are conducted per year. Temperature data are usually collected by a scientist on board the vessel using an automatic XBT launcher designed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). The launcher holds 6 XBT probes which are pre-programmed to drop at specific locations (using GPS) or times. The XBT probes are Sippican "Deep Blue", which are rated to 760 m depth, but typically return temperature to a depth of around 850 m at ship speeds of 15 to 18 knots. Sequential XBT casts are separated by 30-40 km along track, with closer station spacings of 10 km near boundaries, across the equator and in topographically varying regions. Sampling begins and ends near the 200 m isobath at the coastal endpoints of the tracks.
Prior to 1994 profiles were collected using a modified analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion board as described by Roemmich and Cornuelle (1987). From 1994 through 2004 a Sippican MK12 data acquisition system was employed, with the modification of the user interface driver programs. These programs were developed at SIO to provide a more user-friendly environment for the ship board data collectors, and to eventually enable collection by non-scientific personnel such as the ship's crew. Profiles are currently collected using AMVER SEAS 2K Windows based software and the Sippican MK21 data acquisition system. AMVER SEAS 2K was developed by NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). It incorporates many of SIO's older data acquisition functions. See the poster page for a description of AMVER SEAS 2K.

Historical Sea Ice Atlas - Alaska Ocean Observing System
The Historical Sea Ice Atlas tool aggregates a wide variety of sea ice observations and measurements, from whaling ship logbooks from 1850 to near real-time passive microwave satellite data in the present, to generate a sea ice time series over 150 years long for the seas surrounding the state of Alaska, USA. This resource can be used to explore the trends in sea ice extent and concentration at multiple scales through time. The geographic extent of the data maintained in the Atlas is 500 km from shore, and the area includes the Bering Sea north of the Aleutian chain, into the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. It also includes a select number of nearshore bays and inlets that have historical ice records – most notably Norton Sound and Cook Inlet.

Several large historic sea level datasets in the form of scanned images of tide gauge charts and ledgers have been added to the British Oceanographic Data Centre’s National Oceanographic Database. These include, for Sheerness, some of UK's earliest records of sea level data.
Additionally, scanned ledger entries from six locations around Liverpool obtained from the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company and scanned tide gauge charts from Belfast are available.
Long-term sea level records have a wide range of scientific and practical applications. For example, they are important to climate change studies (to give an indication of sea level rise), operational oceanography (looking at storm surges and tides) and civil engineering (for flood defences).

This collection of fish deposited in the Estuarine Ichthyology and Ecology Laboratory of the ICMyL., is the result of a collection process that began in the mid-nineteenth century, and which gradually increased thanks to the collection and contributions of researchers through research projects. In the sixties, the importance of the collection increased with intense collections and records of marine, brackish and continental water species. The study, documentation and information has obeyed, preferably,
At the beginning of the nineties, a new process of ordering, removal, purification of the material and authorization of the area began in order to reorder and correctly catalog the specimens according to international regulations, we also proceeded to update the systematic and nomenclature of the species.
Species from the marine biogeographic regions that affect the country are included, such as Californian, Cortes Province, Tropical Eastern Pacific (POT) and Panamica, as well as the Carolineana (North American Atlantic Temperate Region) and Caribbean (Atlantic Tropical Region) provinces. Western). In addition, coastal species that inhabit hard bottoms, coral and rocky reefs, as well as soft sand and mud bottoms, and pelagic, mesopelagic and some bathypelagic species are conserved. Freshwater species are also included. The ICMyL Ichthyological Collection has contributed and served as an information base for countless research papers, technical reports, and Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate theses, not only from the Institute itself but from other UNAM dependencies, as well as other Institutions such as the UAM, the National Polytechnic Institute and various provincial universities such as the Faculty of Marine Sciences of the UAS, Fisheries Engineering from La UAN, Universidad del Mar, Oax. Universidad Veracruzana and Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, among others.
The information contained in the CI can serve as a complement to the information that exists in the international FishBase database, with which it is intended to make a connection in the future.

INA Seismic Microzonation Information System - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (ODIS id: 661)
INA Seismic Microzonation Information System - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics
The Indonesian territory has a high level of vulnerability to earthquakes because it is located in the junction area of 3 large plates, namely the Eurasian Plate, the Indo-Australian Plate, the Pacific Plate and also the number of faults that stretch across the region causing Indonesia. One of the efforts to mitigate earthquake disasters is to conduct earthquake hazard microzonation efforts. The Center for Research and Development of BMKG has carried out ongoing research in the field of earthquake microzonation with the aim of obtaining information on the level of earthquake hazard in an area based on measured microtremor parameter values, among others carried out in the Sukabumi area (2009), Bantul (2010), Padang (2011) ), Cilacap (2012), Kulonprogo (2014), Tasikmalaya (2017), and Garut (2018). This study tries to make a prototype of the seismic microzonation information system research results from the BMKG Research and Development Center in a web-based spatial information system called InaSMIS (Indonesia Seismic Microzonation Information System). InaSMIS contains information on the analysis of microtremor survey results, including the value of the dominant period (fo), the amplification factor (Ao), the Seismic Vulnerability Index (Kg), Vs30, the Probability Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) which states the level of earthquake hazard in an area. InaSIMS is still being developed in the research stage and is not yet an operational service for BMKG. In the future, InaSMIS is expected to be a source of public information to determine the level of earthquake hazard in Indonesian territory.

JCOMM in situ Observations Programme Support Centre
The global ocean observing system delivers more than 1 million daily observations to a rapidly growing number of users and stakeholders, including most major ocean, weather, and climate prediction centers around the world. The analyses, forecasts, and products based on these ocean observations are the bedrock of decisions across an increasing swath of socio-economic sectors, especially in marine transportation, coastal communities, climate, agriculture, and healthy oceans.
The global ocean observation system has significant complexity, including full depth oceanic and atmospheric observations, requiring tools and resources to coordinate within and amongst communities of observers from over 100 countries around the world. The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO)-Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Joint Centre for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology in situ Observations Programmes Support (OceanOPS, formerly named JCOMMOPS), grew out of the need for improved technical coordination across a number of such communities, e.g. to assist in deploying observing programs (such as Argo floats and drifters); assist in developing and tracking timely exchange of data and metadata; and to monitor the status and growth of the system. OceanOPS has grown in prominence and visibility over the past 10 years. It has become increasingly central to the coordination of the global ocean observing enterprise, leading to ever-increasing interests and expectations amongst current and potential stakeholders.
OceanOPS acts as a focal point for implementation and operation of relevant observing platforms. The Centre which is located in Brest (France) is funded thanks to voluntary contributions from IOC/UNESCO and WMO Member States, through the marine observing programmes and panels such as Argo, DBCP, OceanSITES, GO-SHIP, SOT, GLOSS, OceanGliders.

Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is one of the fundamental variables for which global sustained observations are needed in CLIVAR, the international program on CLImate VARiability and predictability, and GOOS, the Global Ocean Observing System sponsored by the IOC, WMO, UNEP, and ICSU.
SSS measurements are needed to improve our knowledge of the earth's water cycle and climate. SSS has proven to be valuable for improving estimates of evaporation minus precipitation (E-P) budgets, describing and understanding climate variability at seasonal to decadal time scales, testing physical processes, assessing numerical model skills, quantifying the role of salinity on sea-level change, improving El Nino prediction lead time, quantifying the ocean-atmosphere CO2 exchanges, and so on.
The importance of SSS in the climate system has motivated the development by European and USA/Argentina space agencies of dedicated satellite missions (SMOS, Aquarius, and SMAP) to enhance global observations.
Recognizing the importance of SSS for climate research and operational oceanography (see MERCATOR and GODAE), the present SSS Observation Service aims at collecting, validating, archiving and distributing in situ SSS measurements derived from Voluntary Observing Ship programs. It is based on the IRD historical savoir-faire, and presently federates the efforts of scientists from - and/or benefits from financial supports of - different French institutes (IRD, CNES, CNRS, IFREMER, INSU, IPEV, OMP).
This SSS Observation Service has an "Observatoire de Recherche en Environnement" (ORE) label. It also represents the French contribution to the international Global Ocean Surface Underway Data (GOSUD) program."Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) is one of the fundamental variables for which global sustained observations are needed in CLIVAR, the international program on CLImate VARiability and predictability, and GOOS, the Global Ocean Observing System sponsored by the IOC, WMO, UNEP, and ICSU.

Marine Data Exchange - The Crown Estate (ODIS id: 2113)
This website provides access to survey data and reports collected by our offshore renewable and marine aggregates customers.
Developed in 2013 as the first of its kind, the Marine Data Exchange (MDE) manages offshore survey data collected by our customers throughout the lifetime of an offshore project, from feasibility studies through to decommissioning. Whilst the focus to-date has been to work with our customers in relatively new industries, such as offshore renewables, the MDE also contains data from the marine aggregates sector.
Offshore industries, such as offshore renewables, are collecting large volumes of data to understand a range of factors that may impact the feasibility and ongoing maintenance of a project. Therefore, the MDE consists of a variety of data types, covering environmental, physical and social themes. We have categorised each of the surveys held on the MDE against 20 survey categories, including benthic ecology, geotechnical and noise. The majority of surveys on the MDE are from geophysical, bird, fish, benthic and sedimentology data collection campaigns.

The Marine Environment Database (MUDAB) records physical, hydrographic, hydrochemical and biological parameters of the marine environment for the German part of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The central database supports the activities of the Bund/Länder-Arbeitsgemeinschaft Nord- und Ostsee (BLANO). In addition, MUDAB makes a significant contribution to Germany's international commitments to provide environmental data for marine protection. Among other things the Marine Environment Database provides measurement data in support of the international "OSPAR Commission” and the "Helsinki Commission (HELCOM)”. Last but not least, MUDAB makes a significant contribution to the "Environmental Reporting Sea" (SOE Report) to the European Environment Agency in Copenhagen (EEA).

Generally, content is organised on 3 levels: Groups, Datasets, and resources.
A Group is a way or organising related content together. Typically a group will contain many datasets (in the beginning you may find a few empty groups while we are still populating the portal with initial data)
A Dataset is a description of data or information that have all been collected/processed under the same activity. Often this activity might be writing a report, or collection of samples or data in a particular location, survey or Project.
Resources are always linked to a dataset. There can be one or more resources associated with a single dataset. Resources can be documents, data files or even links to other websites.

This is where you search for metadata describing Southern Ocean datasets across a much wider range of disciplines than we can currently serve up in SOOSmap. The SOOS metadata portal is a subset of all records on NASA's Global Change Master Directory (GCMD), pulling in all records relevant to the SOOS Science Themes. You can search by spatial location, freetext, keywords, or dates to find the most relevant datasets. Most metadata records include links to access the dataset itself.
Through the portal, you can also submit your own metadata record, using the DocBuilder link (you will need to register to use DocBuilder). This is the easiest way to ensure that other Southern Ocean researchers can discover and access your datasets.
The SOOS portal is optimised to show records that are related to the SOOS candidate Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) and that overlap the geographic area south of 40°S. If your metadata record does not contain any spatial information or keywords associated with any of the EOVs, you can ensure that it will be picked up by the SOOS portal by adding "SOOS" as an IDN_Node.

MetOffice Global Information System Centre for Western Europe
The Met Office (UKMO) GISC is part of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Information System (WIS). WIS is an international initiative whose concept is to provide a single coordinated global infrastructure for the collection and sharing of information in support of all WMO and related international programmes.
The WMO GTS (Global Telecommunications System) has been an essential part of the distribution system of operationally-critical meteorological data. Advances in the computer industry and increasing use of the Internet has made it technically possible for many organisations who do not traditionally use meteorological data from the GTS, to access information online.
At the heart of the GISC is a catalogue of meteorological data, products and services. The Met Office will make their catalogue entries available in the catalogue via any of the GISCs globally, who will in turn, put their entries in the catalogue. This enables authorised users to Discover, Access and Retrieve (DAR) any of the available datasets or services from around the globe. These catalogue entries are also known as DAR metadata.
Initially the Met Office GISC catalogue will only contain WMO Essential and Additional data, as defined under WMO Resolutions, 40 (Cg-XII) and 25.

Mid-Atlantic Ocean Data Portal - Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean
The Mid-Atlantic Ocean Data Portal is an online toolkit and resource center that consolidates available data and enables state, federal and local users to visualize and analyze ocean resources and human use information such as fishing grounds, recreational areas, shipping lanes, habitat areas, and energy sites, among others.
The portal includes Maps as well as a Data catalogue and links to other data resources.
The Governors of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia in 2009 signed the Mid-Atlantic Governors’ Agreement on Ocean Conservation. The Agreement established the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) as a partnership to address shared regional priorities and provide a collective voice.
With competing demands on our oceans at an all-time high, finding ways to engage all stakeholders in coastal and marine planning has never been more important. The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean (MARCO) recognizes that a robust ocean data and information management system that includes a wide range of human use, environmental, socioeconomic and regulatory data will provide the building blocks for multi-use, regional-scale ocean planning.
The Portal serves as a platform to engage all stakeholders in ocean planning from the five-state Mid-Atlantic region-putting essential data and state-of-the-art mapping and visualization technology into the hands of the agencies, industry, and community leaders.

Moderate Resoution Imaging Spectroradiometer
The MODIS instrument is operating on both the Terra and Aqua spacecraft. It has a viewing swath width of 2,330 km and views the entire surface of the Earth every one to two days. Its detectors measure 36 spectral bands between 0.405 and 14.385 µm, and it acquires data at three spatial resolutions -- 250m, 500m, and 1,000m.
Along with all the data from other instruments on board the Terra spacecraft and Aqua Spacecraft, MODIS data are transferred to ground stations in White Sands, New Mexico, via the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). The data are then sent to the EOS Data and Operations System (EDOS) at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The Level 1A, Level 1B, geolocation and cloud mask products and the Higher-level MODIS land and atmosphere products are produced by the MODIS Adaptive Processing System (MODAPS), and then are parceled out among three DAACs for distribution. Ocean color products are produced by the Ocean Color Data Processing System (OCDPS) and distributed to the science and applications community.
The many data products derived from MODIS observations describe features of the land, oceans and the atmosphere that can be used for studies of processes and trends on local to global scales. As just noted, MODIS products are available from several sources. MODIS Level 1 and atmosphere products are available through the LAADS web. Land Products are available through the Land Processes DAAC at the U. S. Geological Survey EROS Data Center (EDC). Cryosphere data products (snow and sea ice cover) are available from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado. Ocean color products and sea surface temperature products along with information about these products are obtainable at the OCDPS at GSFC. Users with an appropriate x-band receiving system may capture regional data directly from the spacecraft using the MODIS Direct Broadcast signal.

Microplastics (<5 mm) pollution is a growing problem affecting coastal communities, marine ecosystems, aquatic life, and human health. The widespread occurrence of marine microplastics, and the need to curb its threats, require expansive, and continuous monitoring. While microplastic research has increased in recent years and generated significant volumes of data, there is a lack of a robust, open access, and long-term aggregation of this data. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) now provides a global open access to marine microplastics data on an easily discoverable and accessible GIS web map and data portal (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/microplastics). The objective of this data portal is to develop a repository where microplastics data are aggregated, archived, and served in a user friendly, consistent, and reliable manner. This work contributes to NCEI’s efforts towards data standardization, integration, harmonization, and interoperability among national and international collaborators for monitoring global marine microplastics. This paper describes the NOAA NCEI global marine microplastics database, its creation, quality control procedures, and future directions.

Ocean Carbon Data System - NOAA
The Ocean Carbon Data System (OCADS) is a data management project located within the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) in Silver Spring, Maryland. It contains all the CDIAC-Oceans data and serves all functions of the former CDIAC-oceans including dissemination of all newly acquired ocean carbon data. OCADS was established in February 2017. OCADS is responsible for hosting and providing access for ocean carbon data collected from around the world, as previously performed by the Oceans component of the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC-Oceans) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). We aim to make OCADS a customer-centric data management entity and try to listen to the community to provide stellar customer support as was done at CDIAC. We value the importance of putting all ocean carbon data into one repository and welcome data submissions from around the world.

Ocean Data Platform
HUB Ocean’s Ocean Data Platform (ODP) is aggregating, unlocking and enabling a diverse range of ocean data, from existing open sources to ‘locked’ industry data. The ODP is designed to host data efficiently with rich metadata; facilitate access and sharing through geo-spatially performant APIs; and empower analysis with scalable cloud compute. The result is enabling the consumption of a variety of ocean data sources in a way that is standardized, powerful and ‘FAIR’ (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

Ocean Data Portal - IOC/UNESCO-IODE
Timely access to quality data is essential for the understanding of marine processes. The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) programme of IOC UNESCO, through its distributed network of National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODCs), is establishing the Ocean Data Portal (ODP) to facilitate seamless access to marine data/services and to promote the exchange and dissemination of marine data and services.
Conceptually, ODP is aimed to implement the “end to end” data management and “one-stop shop” approach. ODP can support the full range of processes including data discovery, evaluation (through visualization and metadata review) and access and delivers a standards-based infrastructure that provides integration of marine data and services across the NODC network. In fact the ODP technology is not dependent on specific thematic (discipline) content and can be scaled to other communities.
The key principle behind the ODP is its interoperability with existing systems and the IODE is working closely with the Joint WMO-IOC Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) to ensure the ODP is interoperable with the WMO Information System (WIS) that will provide access to marine meteorological and oceanographic data and information to serve a number of applications, including climate. Following the IODE recommendations high priority has been assigned also to the interaction with the SeaDataNet (SDN) and Global Earth Observation System of System (GEOSS).
The ODP development is carried out under leadership of the joint IODE/JCOMM Expert Group for Data Management Practices (ETDMP) and on basis of technologies of Unified state system of information on the oceans of the Russian Federation. The implementation had two stages: Version 1 and 2. The ODP v1 operated from 2009 and currently its distributed data source network includes more 10 data providers in IODE data centres from the BackSea region, Canada, Australia, UK, the East Asian and South America region. ODP v2 has improved capabilities based on use of new information technologies and international interoperability standards and tools. At this time the ODP v.2 is in a pre-operational phase.

Polar Bear-Human Information Management System- Norwegian Polar Data Centre
Track and analyze all bear/human conflicts for all circumpolar polar bear range states (countries). As a result of on-going and predicted future habitat loss, polar bears are expected to spend longer periods of time on land where they are susceptible to human disturbance. At the same time, human activity in coastal areas of the Arctic is increasing (e.g. oil and gas exploration, tourism) in conjunction with an increased number of nutritionally stressed bears occurring on land. The increasing trend of both polar bear and human use of coastal areas has the potential to result in increasing polar bear-human interactions. Harvest data indicates that defense of life kills have been increasing (USFWS unpublished data). To date, polar bear attacks have been rare but when they do occur, they evoke strong public reaction, especially for residents of communities within the range of polar bears. For sound management of polar bears to be implemented, and adequate protection afforded to people living, recreating, and working in polar bear country, it is imperative that polar bear managers assemble a database of critical information related to bear-human interactions. Interactions with humans may threaten polar bears by: (1) displacement from preferred habitats, such as denning, feeding and resting areas; (2) ingestion of or exposure to contaminants or toxic substances; (3) association of humans with food (food-conditioning) resulting in nuisance bears being killed due to safety concerns for local residents/workers. Polar bear managers can help maintain the current status of their polar bear populations by reducing lethal take of polar bears during bear-human interactions. To prevent escalating conflicts between polar bears and humans, bear-human interaction plans need to be developed and implemented. During the March 2009 Polar Bear Range States Meeting in Tromso, Norway the U.S. was tasked with taking the lead on developing a polar bear / human interaction initiative to address the anticipated future increase in interactions due to climate change. Tor Punsvik, Environmental Advisor, Office of The Governor of Svalbard, Norway and Dr. Terry D. DeBruyn, Polar Bear Project Leader, FWS, Alaska were requested by the Range States to develop a polar bear/human interaction database for the next Range States Meeting in Canada in 2011. It is anticipated that a draft database, populated with data from both the U.S. and Norway, will be ready by November 2009 for testing and comment by the Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG). The draft database will be distributed to PBSG members, comment sought, and a request made that members populate the database with pertinent polar bear/human incidents (of primary interest, initially, are records from each country that relate to the use of bear spray and fatalities (both bear and human) resulting from bear-human interactions). At a subsequent meeting of U.S. and Norway in spring 2010, the database will be updated and thereafter redistributed to the PBSG and Range State members. It is anticipated that data from all Polar Bear Range States will then be available for consolidation and validation in winter 2010 and ready to present at the Range States meeting in 2011. To ensure the success of the project, partnering with various agencies and pertinent groups in the range state countries will occur. The Polar Bear Range States parties agree on the need to develop comprehensive strategies to manage bear-human conflicts. Some existing strategies include active deterrence, reduction of attractants, and community education and outreach. Expertise developed for management of other bear species should be consulted in the development of strategies specific to polar bears. The parties agreed to exchange experiences with management of bear-human interactions. Two specific opportunities were identified to develop bear-human interaction strategies: the upcoming Bear-human Workshop in November 2009 in Canmore, Alberta, Canada and the Polar Bear Aversive Conditioning Workshop planned to be held in Alaska in 2010. The Polar Bear-Human Information Management System (PBHIMS) has been developed to standardize the collection of polar bear data across the Range States. This system provides a user-friendly data entry interface and the ability to analyze the collected data. Data stored in the system includes bear-human conflicts, bear observations, bear harvests, and bear natural history data. Scanned images of the original bear forms, narratives, reports, and photos can be attached to each incident to provide additional information that may not be captured in the system.

Portal for ocean acidification biological response data - Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre
The number of studies investigating the effects of ocean acidification on marine organisms and communities are increasing every year. Results are not easily comparable since the carbonate chemistry and ancillary data are not always reported in similar units and scales, and calculated using similar sets of constants.
In response to this problem, a data compilation is hosted at PANGAEA Data Publisher for Earth and Environmental Science and maintained in the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) project “Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC)” in collaboration with Xiamen University. The goal of this data compilation is to ensure the archival and streamlining of data on the biological response to ocean acidification (and other environmental drivers), as well as to provide easy access to the data for all users. Published data are made available to the scientific community in a coherent format and with a citable DOI.
Our team extracts data directly from tables or figures in published papers, or downloads the data from other data repositories such as the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO), the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) and the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC). Finally, we are contacting authors to collect data which are not readily available in the papers or other data repositories.
As part of the effort, the carbonate system variables are recalculated in a consistent way. Authors are always contacted to quality-check their data sets before archiving.
The compilation currently includes data from over 1000 data sets from more than 900 papers.
The list of papers currently included in the database can be consulted from the "Included/not included papers" page.

The cruise inventory is a catalogue of UK research vessel activities dating from 1947 to the present day. Currently, it contains entries for 15942 cruises from 751 individual ships. It also contains details of non-UK marine research activities in British territorial waters.
It is a valuable resource for scientists, program managers, and data managers to provide information on who has collected what, where, and when, in addition to details of measurements taken and samples collected.
The information is assembled using the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Cruise Summary Report (CSR, formerly ROSCOP) forms. These are completed by the Principal Scientific Officer (PSO) or an appropriate ship's officer for each research cruise or voyage. Forms from UK activities are submitted to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). Information on non-UK cruises comes from Notification of Proposed Research Cruise (NPRC) documents submitted to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).
Whereas CSRs provide a summary of cruise activities, more detailed cruise information is provided in the Cruise Report which is produced in the months following the end of the cruise.

Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences Metadata Portal
The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) metadata portal is an online resource that facilitates the sharing of environmental datasets in an interoperable manner. The scope of the portal is diverse, encompassing various types of data, including oceanographic data (such as RV Belgica en-route data, Tripod data, and FerryBox), geological layers, Marine Spatial Planning, Marine North Sea Forecasting, and biodiversity observations (through GBIF).
The primary objective of this catalog is to provide descriptions for all RBINS datasets and make them globally accessible and visible, going beyond our legal obligation to do so. The catalog adheres to international standards like INSPIRE and ISO19115. It offers links for downloading datasets and, when applicable, provides web services for online visualization on a map.
To enhance the visibility of the Institute's datasets, the catalog also integrates several internal resources, including http://ipt.naturalsciences.be, which disseminates our biodiversity data to GBIF. Furthermore, it automatically shares all datasets with national and international catalogs (such as INSPIRE, the Belgian and European Open Data portals, and the Belgian NGI). Additionally, a unique DOI is assigned to each dataset's metadata, facilitating easy referencing in publications.

Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite - NOAA (ODIS id: 782)
This collection contains an operational Satellite Ocean Heat Content Suite (SOHCS) product generated by NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). The operational algorithm implemented was developed at the University of Miami/Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The SOHCS product measures the integrated vertical temperature from the sea surface to the depth of the 26°C isotherm. The Algorithm uses a reduced gravity model to estimate the 20 degree isotherm depth based on objectively analyzed blended sea surface height anomaly fields from operational altimeters (Satellite with ARgos and ALtiKa (SARAL), Jason-1, Jason-2 and Cryosat-2) and Geo-Polar blended SST analyses. The data consists of seven parameters including sea surface height anomaly and its mapping error, depth of the 20° and 26° Celsius isotherm, mixed layer depth, ocean heat content and sea surface temperature. The grid spacing of the data in both latitude and longitude is 0.25°.

Sea surface temperature at coastline - Marine and Freshwater Research Institute (ODIS id: 3100)
The CALYPSO series of projects endeavour to provide a service to a wide range of users. The HF radar network, coveringcthe Malta-Sicily Channel andcthe Southern approaches to the Maltese Islands,
provides information on the present sea surface currents and sea conditions in the form of maps updated every hour in real time; state-of-the-art numerical models assist to reliably predict how the state of the sea will evolve in the time ahead. In combination, this operational chain of activities provides essential data to a spectrum of applications and addresses the needs of a number of responsible entities in Malta and Sicily. The usefulness of this effort is measured by the level of usage of the data provided by CALYPSO, and these web services are intended to facilitate the widespread use of the CALYPSO data streams.
Key targets include an improved response to marine hazards such as from oil pollution, better control of the trans-boundary maritime space and greater efficiency for security and safety at sea. CALYPSO aims to broaden the use of the project HF radar system for further applications especially in search and rescue, and in support of a wide range of Maltese and Sicilian stakeholders including exploitation for improved weather and marine forecasts, as well as for the monitoring of maritime flow and navigation in the Malta-Sicily Channel in combination with ship detection and movement.
The service is targeted at responsible entities and stakeholders in general, but appeals also to specialized users and the general public. It provides dedicated flows of data for specific applications.
Please register here to gain full access to the CALYPSO web service.
Users making use of the CALYPSO HF radar data are obliged to acknowledge the source of the data as follows:
"The data are derived by the HF radar system developed within the CALYPSO, CALYPSO Follow On and CALYPSO South projects, partly financed by the EU under the Operational Programme Italia-Malta 2007-2013, and Interreg Italia-Malta Programme 2014-2020, and co-ordinated by Prof. Aldo Drago from the Physical Oceanography Research Group within the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Science, at the University of Malta."

The CALYPSO series of projects endeavour to provide a service to a wide range of users. The HF radar network, coveringcthe Malta-Sicily Channel andcthe Southern approaches to the Maltese Islands,
provides information on the present sea surface currents and sea conditions in the form of maps updated every hour in real time; state-of-the-art numerical models assist to reliably predict how the state of the sea will evolve in the time ahead. In combination, this operational chain of activities provides essential data to a spectrum of applications and addresses the needs of a number of responsible entities in Malta and Sicily. The usefulness of this effort is measured by the level of usage of the data provided by CALYPSO, and these web services are intended to facilitate the widespread use of the CALYPSO data streams.
Key targets include an improved response to marine hazards such as from oil pollution, better control of the trans-boundary maritime space and greater efficiency for security and safety at sea. CALYPSO aims to broaden the use of the project HF radar system for further applications especially in search and rescue, and in support of a wide range of Maltese and Sicilian stakeholders including exploitation for improved weather and marine forecasts, as well as for the monitoring of maritime flow and navigation in the Malta-Sicily Channel in combination with ship detection and movement.
The service is targeted at responsible entities and stakeholders in general, but appeals also to specialized users and the general public. It provides dedicated flows of data for specific applications.

Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry
The shelf Sea are highly productive compared to the open ocean, a productivity that underpins more than 90 per cent of global fisheries. Their importance to society extends beyond food production to include issues of biodiversity, carbon cycling and storage, waste disposal, nutrient cycling, recreation and renewable energy resources.
The shelf Sea have been estimated to be the most valuable biome on Earth, but they are under considerable stress, as a result of anthropogenic nutrient loading, overfishing, habitat disturbance, climate change and other impacts.
However, even within the relatively well-studied European shelf Sea, fundamental biogeochemical processes are poorly understood. For example: the role of shelf Sea in carbon storage; in the global cycles of key nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon and iron); and in determining primary and secondary production, and thereby underpinning the future delivery of many other ecosystem services.
Improved knowledge of such factors is not only required by marine policy-makers; it also has the potential to increase the quality and cost-effectiveness of management decisions at the local, national and international levels under conditions of climate change.
The Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry research programme is co-funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra). The programme directly relates to the delivery of the NERC Earth system science theme. The programme will take a holistic approach to the cycling of nutrients and carbon and the controls on primary and secondary production in UK and European shelf Sea, to increase understanding of these processes and their role in wider biogeochemical cycles. It will thereby significantly improve predictive marine biogeochemical and ecosystem models over a range of scales.
The scope of the programme includes exchanges with the open ocean (transport on and off the shelf to a depth of around 500m), together with cycling, storage and release processes on the shelf slope, and air-sea exchange of greenhouse gases (CO2 and N2O).

Temperate Reef Base Portal - Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies
TemperateReefBase is a resource for temperate reef researchers worldwide to use and contribute data. Unique in its role as a one-stop-shop for global temperate reef data, TemperateReefBase was initially established by IMAS in collaboration with the Kelp Ecology Ecosystem Network (KEEN).
KEEN was instigated through a National Centre for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group which assembled experts from around the world to examine the impacts of global change on the kelp-bed ecosystem worldwide. The group has assembled significant global data for kelps, other seaweeds and associated species including fishes, and has embarked on unprecedented global experiments and surveys in which identical experiments and surveys are being conducted at sites in kelp beds around the world to determine global trends and examine the capacity of kelps to respond to a disturbance in the face of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors.
The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is an online discovery interface showcasing temperate reef data collected from around the globe. The portal aims to make this data freely and openly available for the benefit of marine and environmental science as a whole.
The TemperateReefBase Data Portal is hosted and maintained by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania, Australia.

The southwest Indian Ocean Bathymetric Compilation - PANGAEA (ODIS id: 3028)
The southwest Indian Ocean Bathymetric Compilation - PANGAEA
We present a comprehensive regional bathymetric data compilation for the southwest Indian Ocean (swIOBC) covering the area from 4°S to 40°S and 20°E to 45°E with a spatial resolution of 250 m. For this, we used multibeam and singlebeam data as well as data from global bathymetric data compilations. We generated the swIOBC using an iterative approach of manual data cleaning and gridding, accounting for different data qualities and seamless integration of all different kinds of data. In comparison to existing bathymetric charts of this region the new swIOBC benefits from nearly four times as many data-constrained grid cells and a higher resolution, and thus reveals formerly unseen seabed features. In the central Mozambique Basin a surprising variety of landscapes were discovered. They document a deep reaching influence of the Mozambique Current eddies. Details of the N-S trending Zambezi Channel could be imaged in the central Mozambique Basin.

Details of the N-S trending Zambezi Channel could be imaged in the central Mozambique Basin.

The Sponge Guide
With this edition of the Sponge Guide, we present over 230 species morphs of sponges from the Caribbean region. Our catalog now includes over 2,100 images that have been tagged with searchable physical characteristics.
We have begun to provide composite images of skeletal structures, a primary tool for identification, for 49 species morphs. In addition, we've expanded the regions we've visited and cataloged to capture more of the geographic and habitat variation of these animals.

THREDDS Data Server - European High Frequency Radar Node
High Frequency Radar (HFR) is the unique land-based remote sensing technology that allows the mapping of ocean surface currents over wide areas with high spatial and temporal resolution. HFR products are applied in many sectors such as research in coastal oceanography and marine environment, safety, coastal management, fish-
ery, navigation and renewable energy. Furthermore, it is expected that HFR data will be systematically ingested in Data Assimilation processes necessary for predictive model adjustment.
HFR technology is rapidly expanding in Europe (at a rate of 7 new systems per year since 2016), with over 62 HFR sites currently operating and a number in the planning stage.
The coordinated development of coastal HFR technology and its products is essential to ensure that the potential of HFRs is fully exploited in the development of the European operational oceanography. The EuroGOOS HFR Task Team is leading, with the support of the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet), many ongoing initiatives aiming at promoting the HFR technology in Europe. These efforts brought to the the inclusion of HFR data into the major European platforms for marine data distribution, which are: Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service In Situ Thematyic Assembly Center (CMEMS-INSTAC), SeaDataCloud (SDC) and
EMODnet Physics. Building on these achievements, the European HFR Node was established as the infrastructure to drive the needed steps to reach the added-value of a coordinated network like: central archiving, homogenized protocols for data distribution, development of standards for quality assurance, control and data structures.
The European platforms for marine data distribution operate through a decentralized architecture based on National Oceanographic Data Centers (NODC), Production Units (PUs) organized by region for the global ocean and the six European seas and a Global Distribution Unit (DU). The European HFR Node acts as the focal point for the
European HFR data providers toward this decentralized structure, since it implements the HFR data stream from the data providers to the distribution platforms.
The European HFR Node is founded on a simple and very effective rule: if the data provider can set up the data flow according to the defined standards, the node only checks and includes the new catalogue and data stream. If the data centre cannot setup the data flow, the HFR Node harvests the raw data from the provider, harmonizes, quality-controls and formats these data and makes them available.
The strength and flexibility of this solution reside in the architecture of the European HFR node, that is based on a centralized database, fed both by the operators via a webform and by the software routines running on the node, containing updated metadata of the HFR networks and the needed information for processing/archiving the data.
A set of shared software tools uses all those information for processing native HFR data for QC and converting them to the standard format for distribution.

The data set consists of maps of radial and total velocity of the sea water surface current gathered by the European HFR Network Node established under the coordination of the EuroGOOS HF Radar Task Team. The network nodes are both HF and X-band radars, covering wide areas with different spatial and temporal resolutions. The network has the potential to provide real-time information of the velocity of surface currents and wave parameters. The radar sites are operated according to Quality Assessment procedures and data are processed for Quality Control. Data access tools are compliant to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Climate and Forecast (CF) convention and INSPIRE directive. The use of netCDF format allows an easy implementation of all the open source services developed by UNIDATA.

UK Argo — part of the integrated global observation strategy
Argo is an international programme dedicated to collecting high quality data across the global ocean using free-drifting robotic floats. There are over 3500 of these free-drifting profiling floats in the global array, all measuring temperature and salinity in the upper 2000 metres of the ocean.
The UK has been an active member and strong supporter of the Argo project since it began in 2000. Since then, the UK has deployed over 300 floats in the Indian, Atlantic and Southern Oceans and is fully committed to helping to maintain the global array of floats.
The Argo array has quickly become a crucial element of UK operational oceanography and plays an important role in the ocean analysis and forecasting activities of the National Centre for Ocean Forecasting as well as contributing to exciting developments in climate science.
UKArgo.net is hosted by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) with contributions from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), the Met Office and Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML).

UTM-CSIC Data Centre
The Marine Technology Unit Data Centre is responsible for managing spatial data acquired during oceanographic cruises on board CSIC research vessels (RV Sarmiento de Gamboa, RV García del Cid) and RV Hespérides.
The aim is, on the one hand, to disseminate which data exist and where, how and when they have been acquired and on the other hand, to provide access to as much of the interoperable data as possible following the FAIR principles so that they can be used and reused.
For this purpose, the UTM has a Spatial Data Infrastructure at a national level that consists of several services:
Oceanographic Cruise and Data Catalog: Including metadata from more than 600 cruises carried out since 1991, with links to documentation associated to the cruise, navigation maps and datasets
Geoportal: Geospatial data mapping interface
Underway Plot & QC: Visualization, Quality Control and conversion to standard format of meteorological data and temperature and salinity of surface water
At an international level, the UTM is a National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) of the Distributed European Marine Data Infrastructure SeaDataNet, to which the UTM provides metadata published in the Cruise Summary Report Catalog and in the data catalog Common Data Index Catalog, as well as public data to be shared.

The vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) concept emerged from discussions at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and gained momentum after UNGA Resolution 61/105. VMEs constitute areas that may be vulnerable to impacts from fishing activities.
The vulnerable marine ecosystems database was developed in collaboration with the regional bodies with mandates to manage deep-sea fisheries in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ). It is a compilation of information on management measures taken to reduce current or potential impact on areas where VMEs are known or likely to occur.
The database is designed to facilitate the work of scientists and managers working on these fisheries and also to promote transparency and accessibility of work that has been done in relation to VMEs to the general public.
The content of the database is linked to the data providers (e.g. RFMOs and other multi-lateral bodies) and users have access the primary source of the information through direct links.
This database was developed specifically in response to a request from the UN General Assembly (61/105, paragraph 90) to create a database of information on vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) in ABNJ. It has been developed within the FAO Deep-sea Fisheries Programme to promote the use of the International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-Sea Fisheries in the High Seas that provides guidance to States and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations or Arrangements (RFMO/As) to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of marine living resources in the deep seas. This includes preventing Significant Adverse Impacts on vulnerable marine ecosystems.

The OAFlux project is an ongoing research and development project for global air-sea fluxes. The project is committed to developing enhanced global estimates of air-sea fluxes of heat, freshwater, and momentum, with a goal of establishing a one-stop source for global ocean surface forcing datasets that serves the needs of the ocean and climate research community. The project focuses on efforts to improve the quantification of physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere and gain an enhanced understanding of the role that these air-sea processes play in the global energy budget, water cycle, atmosphere and ocean circulation, and the Earth’s climate.
The OAFlux project is so called because it applies an objective analysis approach to take into account data errors in the development of enhanced global flux fields. The objective analysis denotes the process of synthesizing measurements/estimates from various sources. Such a process reduces error in each input data source and produces an estimate that has the minimum error variance. The OAFlux project uses the objective analysis to obtain optimal estimates of flux-related surface meteorology and then computes the global fluxes by using the state-of-the-art bulk flux parameterizations.
The OAFlux project aims to provide a consistent multi-decade global analysis of air-sea heat freshwater evaporation and momentum fluxes for use in studies of global energy budget water cycle atmosphere and ocean circulation and climate.
global ocean heat flux and evaporation products were provided by the WHOI OAFlux project (http://oaflux.whoi.edu) funded by the NOAA Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) program.

Wintering waterfowl in Flanders - Lifewatch
Tens of thousands of waterfowl winter in Flanders every year. The numbers and distribution of the various species are closely monitored through standardized counts in more than 1000 areas. This monitoring project is necessary to comply with the obligations arising from various international treaties or directives such as the European Birds Directive, the Ramsar Convention and the African Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA).
The coordination of the counts is done by INBO in collaboration with Natuurpunt Study . They are mainly voluntary employees who are responsible for the field work. A network of regional coordinators ensures the practical organization of the counts in 24 sub-regions.

The aim of a World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy. While the highest priority goes to valid names, other names in use are included so that this register can serve as a guide to interpret taxonomic literature.
The content of WoRMS is controlled by taxonomic and thematic experts, not by database managers. WoRMS has an editorial management system where each taxonomic group is represented by an expert who has the authority over the content, and is responsible for controlling the quality of the information. Each of these main taxonomic editors can invite several specialists of smaller groups within their area of responsibility to join them.
This register of marine species grew out of the European Register of Marine Species (ERMS), and its combination with several other species registers maintained at the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ). Rather than building separate registers for all projects, and to make sure taxonomy used in these different projects is consistent, VLIZ developed a consolidated database called ‘Aphia’. A list of marine species registers included in Aphia is available here. MarineSpecies.org is the web interface for the marine taxa available in this Aphia database. WoRMS combines information from Aphia with other authoritative marine species lists which are maintained by others (e.g. AlgaeBase, FishBase), the so-called 'externally hosted and managed species databases'.
Resources to build MarineSpecies.org and Aphia were provided mainly by the EU Network of Excellence ‘Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning’ (MarBEF), and also by the EU funded Species 2000 Europe and ERMS projects.
Aphia contains valid species names, synonyms and vernacular names, and extra information such as literature and biogeographic data. Besides species names, Aphia also contains the higher classification in which each scientific name is linked to its parent taxon. The classification used is a ‘compromise’ between established systems and recent changes. Its aim is to aid data management, rather than suggest any taxonomic or phylogenetic opinion on species relationships.
Keeping WoRMS up-to-date is a continuous process. New information is entered daily by the taxonomic editors and by the members of our data management team. Often data also come in from contributions of large datasets, such as global or regional species lists. No database of this size is without errors and omissions. We can’t promise to make any errors, but we do promise to follow up and give feedback on any communications pointing out errors. Feedback is very welcome!

Images are by default open-access under the terms of the CC BY-NC-SA license, unless stated otherwise.
Re-distribution of the entire database is not permitted, unless by prior written agreement. This is mainly to avoid circulation of (quickly) outdated copies of WoRMS, accessible through different pathways which can lead to confusion for our many users.
In exceptional cases, institutes may request a copy of the database (using this form), which will be assessed by two WoRMS Steering Committee members and the Data Management Team.
These data downloads consist of the taxonomic data only, and do not include additional data such as distributions, traits, notes, etc.
We strongly encourage the use of the on-line tools and available webservices instead of data requests, as the on-line database and webservices can guarantee continuous updates.
The WoRMS Editorial Board maintains this Register, but is aware that the content can have omissions and errors.
If you come across any error or incomplete information or you are willing to contribute to this initiative, please contact the Data Management Team or check out our Contribute page.
The majority of the photo gallery drawings used at the first and second level of the gallery are reproduced on WoRMS with permission of the Linnean Society of London. The DMT is grateful to them for granting permission for use, thereby giving us the opportunity to make the central entry-point of our photo gallery more uniform.
