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).

The ShoreZone mapping system has been in use since the early 1980s and has been applied to more than 120,000 km of shoreline in Alaska, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. As of 2018, approximately 94% of the state has ShoreZone imagery and of the area imaged approximately 98% is mapped. This project has been funded by NOAA and a number of other agencies and organizations throughout the years.
This standardized system catalogs both geomorphic and biological resources at mapping scales of better than 1:10,000. The high resolution, the attribute-rich dataset is a useful tool for extrapolation of site data over broad spatial ranges for creating a variety of habitat models and oil spill response tools.
Low tide, oblique aerial imagery sets this system apart from other mapping efforts. You can "fly the coastline" (aerial video), view and download still photos, and access physical and biological data using our interactive website. Power users can download the entire ShoreZone geodatabase.

American Tropical Seas Observatory - Institute for Marine and Coastal Research of Colombia
The Tropical Seas of the Americas Observatory Portal (TRITON) is an initiative of the Geosciences Program of the Institute for Marine and Coastal Research - INVEMAR (Colombia). TRITON aims to be a tool to support research, productive activities and the follow-up of the evolution (monitoring) of oceanic conditions in the Caribbean region. To this end, TRITON displays in an almost permanent way and in close to real-time (between 6 hours and 2 days late) highly relevant oceanographic information in the highest spatial resolution possible for the entire basin.
The global oceanographic information displayed in TRITON comes from or has been processed from different satellite databases and free access to numerical model outputs. Its original sources can be consulted in the links provided together with the information corresponding to each variable. The data processing is carried out through PYTHON modules and later it is stored in NetCDF format. The information is displayed through a THREDDS 4.6.9 server (Thematic Real-time Environmental Distributed Data Services) in WMS format. WMS services are consumed and interpreted through Arcgis 3.30 Javascript framework.

Planktonic ostracods are a neglected component of mesoplanktonic communities, despite being almost ubiquitous throughout the World's oceans. Currently the number of planktonic ostracods described from oceanic waters is 203. In addition there are 34 species of the family Thaumatocyprididae, which are predominantly either benthic or cavernicolous. We present a listing of the currently recognized species. In inshore waters, particularly in the vicinity of coral reefs, there is a great diversity of myodocopid ostracods that can be sampled in the water column especially at night. Most of these myodocopid species are not holoplanktonic, entering the water column at certain stages of their life histories. This site only covers the holoplanktonic species and does not deal with any of the neritic species.
In oceanic waters the vast majority of planktonic ostracods are halocyprids. They are often very abundant, and rank second to copepods in numerical abundance particularly in subthermocline waters. They may occur almost everywhere from the surface to abyssal depths. However, they are seldom encountered in the upper 100-200m of the water column at high latitudes (>50 deg), for example they are infrequently sampled by the Continuous Plankton Recorder, which is towed at 8-10m (Williams, 1975). However, their relatively small size (0.5->3mm) means their contribution to the overall planktonic biomass is usually small (<5%). Most species appear to be detritivores, seemingly adapted to exploit marine snow and other sinking particulates. The group frequently goes unreported, because there is a perception that they are difficult to identify, and so they are overlooked. This difficulty is more the result of a lack of good manuals of identification, rather than any greater intrinsic difficulty of identifying them compared with most other components of the plankton. As well as the halocyprids, there are eight very striking species of carnivorous deepwater myodocopids (i.e. Gigantocypris and Macrocypridina ) that are planktonic, but only two have been recorded from the Southern Ocean.
In preparing this atlas, we have compiled a complete inventory of published records for all known species that can be geo-positioned with reasonable accuracy. These data have been supplemented with a considerable body of unpublished data derived from material collected by Discovery Investigations mostly in the 1930's (identified by MVA). Our aim is ultimately to generate a global atlas for all the species. Here as an initial step we have focused on the species that have been recorded from the Southern Ocean . The criterion whereby we have chosen to include species is a single reliable record from south of 52 deg S. This reduces the number of species that are predominantly associated with low latitudes, but are advected into higher latitudes via mesoscale eddies. Other authors have used lower latitudes to delimit Southern Ocean species, for example Razouls et al. (2000) in their study of the biogeography of Antarctic copepods used 45 deg S as the northern limit of the Southern Ocean. Our compilation for these 47 species illustrates crucial gaps in geographical coverage, notably in the North and Central Pacific and in the Southern Indian Oceans. A similar mapping exercise was undertaken by Hillman (1969) and included data from the expeditions of the era of heroic Antarctic exploration together with data from the Eltanin cruises conducted in 1983-1984. Hillman noted that only five halocyprid species were principally restricted to south of the Antarctic Convergence, but a further 17 species had been recorded there. His atlas charted the distributions of eleven species that had been taken regularly in plankton tows. Some of the data plotted by Hillman have been included in our plots, but we could not reconcile all his plotted positions with the listing of Eltanin stations. Similarly some of the records reported posthumously by Deevey (1983) could not be included. These omissions have not lead to a serious gap in coverage.
Our maps illustrate the dominant influence of the principle oceanic fronts and flows on the distributions of the individual species, and this highlights their possible value as biological markers. The maps also reveal some inconsistencies in the data. For example when plotting the data for Boroecia antipoda, a few records from tropical seas derived from material collected during the Dana Expedition (Poulsen, 1975) were clearly anomalous. We have re-examined these specimens and found then to be a new species, albeit very similar to B. antipoda, so these records have not been included in the map for this species.

Major components include the TAO/TRITON array in the Pacific, PIRATA in the Atlantic, and RAMA in the Indian Ocean. The major phenomenological foci of this array are: (i) El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific; (ii) The interhemispheric dipole mode, equatorial warm events, and hurricane activity in the Atlantic; (iii) The monsoons, the Indian Ocean Dipole, and intraseasonal variability in the Indian Ocean.
The referred web page provides 3-D animations for temperature, currents, SST, wind.
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.

Abstract
The main purpose of this map collection is to illustrate, in general, where aquaculture is taking place. Characteristics that accompany the administrative units or individual farms include; cultured species, technology used, culture systems, environments, farm characteristics, production, quantities and values, seed input quantity and characteristics, and main issues (credit, diseases, environmental impact, etc.).
The collection also includes statistics on aquaculture production for 2009 and plans are underway to include statistics related to land and water use in aquaculture during 2012.
Maps are available at national level and at administrative level and/or when available, at an individual farm level.
The National production page includes a map on aquaculture production of aquatic animals for human consumption (tonnes) in 2009. Select one country from the map by clicking on that country or select from the drop-down lists to display the production statistics by country.
The Browse map page provides an up-to-date overview of the NASO maps currently available at administrative level and individual farm level. Simply click on one of the markers shown in the world map to display the corresponding map for the country being selected.
A Search by Country page gives the user the option of selecting the country by its name to display data at an administrative level or individual farm level.
An Advanced Search gives the user the option to select a country and then select some of the characteristics that accompany the administrative units or individual farms locations (e.g. cultured species, technology used, culture systems, etc).
Additional help ( show | hide )
The maps can be viewed in three modes: Map (streets); Satellite (a mosaic of images obtained by remote sensing) and Terrain (satellite images).
User can zoom and pan to any given location.
The icons representing the different Organism Divisions (fish, molluscs, crustaceans, seaweeds, other) at administrative level are located at the centre of the administrative unit, therefore they do not represent the position of the farm. Whereas, the icons representing the different Organism Divisions at an individual farm level are placed exactly were the individual farm is located.
Additional tools include: View in a larger map (displays the map in Google maps); View in Google Earth (automatically displays the map in Google Earth if Google Earth has been installed, for installation see http://earth.google.com/); and RSS (most commonly expanded as "Really Simple Syndication") allows Web users manage the NASO information being provided.

Argo Float Atlas in the Indian Ocean - Iranian National Center for Ocean Data (ODIS id: 12)
Study of the influence of physical, chemical and biological conditions in the damage and protection of Underwater Historical Heritage CTM2009-08668 and CTM2010-1636. The ARQUEOMONITOR Project, supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and FEDER (CTM2009-08668 and CTM2010-16363) studied in what grade, the generation, conservation or degradation of archaeological sites are influenced by marine environmental variables, employing two wrecks of the same chronology subjected to very different environmental conditions, Fougueux and Bucentaure (1805). In order to correlate the conservation status achieved at each site with the local marine environmental conditions we have studied the main physical, chemical and biological factors that can impact on the shipwreck materials. Also, modern samples of the materials usually found in these shipwrecks have been disposed at each site, and their evolution over time has been studied, preventing thus the alteration of archaeological remains. The results obtained allowed to develop new in situ methods for protection of deposits and its elements, and develop predictive models of permanence through knowledge of materials and analysis of risk factors imposed by the marine environment. By combining the major milestones of the project (environmental monitoring, degradation studies and methods of safeguarding) it has been developed a standardized Archaeological Management Plan which compares sites through the establishment of similarities and differences. Now, the results are being dumped into a Data Portal, which will facilitate access to the information for researchers from different areas of knowledge involved in the management of the Archaeological underwater heritage who try to predict short-term potential threats on deposits.

Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic - Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (ODIS id: 2953)
Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic - Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks
Welcome to the Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic. Arctic communities are actively involved with observing social and environmental change; this atlas was designed to showcase the many community-based monitoring (CBM) and Indigenous Knowledge (IK) initiatives across the circumpolar region.
While interest in community-based monitoring (CBM) is growing, there has been little coordination of initiatives at a circumpolar level. The Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic was initiated as a task of the Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) to help address this gap. It is intended to serve as an inventory of initiatives that will assist with network building and identification of best practices and challenges for the field. A secondary phase of the project will draw on CBM initiatives inventoried by the atlas, as well as a literature review, and interviews and input from practitioners, to draft a review of the state of CBM in the Arctic.
CBM and TK initiatives are identified for the atlas through outreach by project collaborators and content partners. Many initiatives have provided information directly to the atlas, while in some cases, information was drawn from published articles or information that project Principal Investigators (PIs) have made publicly available on the Internet. In these cases, project PIs have been contacted to request permission to add them to the atlas.
Anticipated benefits of this project include: 1) Communities involved in monitoring will have an easier time connecting with one another and will have a better sense of how their approaches to monitoring fit within a wider context; 2) Researchers, funders, and other members of the Arctic monitoring community will better understand the role and potential of community-based monitoring.
The atlas is being developed under the direction of the Inuit Circumpolar Council in partnership with Brown University, the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA), and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami's Inuit Qaujisarvingat: Inuit Knowledge Centre. The atlas draws on the Nunaliit Atlas Framework hosted by Carleton University's Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre.
Additionally, a number of institutions are collaborating as "content partners" by assisting with identification of CBM and Indigenous Knowledge (IK) initiatives. Content partners include the European Commission through their "Study on Arctic Lay and Traditional Knowledge: Community-based Monitoring Programmes in the EU Arctic," implemented by the Nordic Agency for Development and Ecology (NORDECO). Additionally, the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) and Alaska Sea Grant are assisting with identification of CBM initiatives in Alaska.
While the Atlas was initially developed with a focus on environmental monitoring programs, environmental change and social change in the Arctic are significantly connected. Additionally, many communities take a holistic perspective on change and emphasize connections and linkages between the environment and society. The atlas was designed to be flexible to allow mapping of social and environmental monitoring initiatives. As a pilot social monitoring focus, we are currently working on developing a Mental Health and Wellness map within the atlas that draws on the Circumpolar Inuit Health Priorities: Best Health Practices and Research, a report completed in 2012 by ICC-Canada. We envision expanding this map to include other health and wellness initiatives in the future.

Atlas of Oceanographic Data for Colombia 1922-2013. Temperature, salinity, density, geostrophic velocity
This document consists of a description of the treatment, processing and analysis of oceanographic data collected by the Colombian Navy and General Maritime Directorate in the Caribbean and Pacific waters of Colombia and neighboring basins, supplemented with data from the NODC database. The analysis is presented in maps of horizontal distributions for climatological fields of temperature, salinity, density and dynamic topographies at standard depths and calculations of geostrophic velocity in vertical profiles, based on data averaged in a grid of ½ degree of latitude and longitude. The purpose of the maps is to illustrate the characteristics of the distributions of these parameters in both basins. After comprehensive quality control of all available data, the fields used to generate climatological maps were calculated by analyzing statistics at 17 standard depths and plotted using DataInterpolating Variational Analysis (DIVA) for the printed material and using Optimal Interpolation for the digital application. Maps of mean distributions are presented for the overall data set and for decadal, annual, seasonal and monthly averages with corresponding standard deviations and standard error at standard depths down to 2500 m.

Atmospheric Dynamics - Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (ODIS id: 654)
The Balearic RIssaga Forecasting System (BRIFS) aims to quantitatively predict the occurrence of extreme sea level oscillations associated with meteotsunamis in the Menorcan harbour of Ciutadella. Combining both atmospheric and oceanic modelling, the system is run once a day in the morning and provides a 48-hour prediction of air pressure disturbances and associated sea level response over the Balearic shelf and in Ciutadella harbour.
The Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) is implemented in a two-nested-grid configuration over the Western Mediterranean basin, with a grid refinement (4km) over an area around the Balearic Islands extending to the South until the Algerian coast. Ninety-seven vertical levels are employed with a finer resolution in the lower levels to adequately resolve the characteristic inversion layer associated with Rissaga phenomena. Initial state and boundary conditions are prescribed from the synoptic atmospheric conditions described by the FNL/GFS analysis/forecast from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP).
WRF air pressure outputs with a 2-minute temporal resolution are used to force a two-nested grid configuration of the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS). ROMS is a 3D free-surface, split-explicit primitive equation model with Boussinesq and hydrostatic approximations. Due to the 2-dimensional nature of the processes involved in the build-up of the rissaga, BRIFS does not consider any density stratification. The larger domain covers the Balearic Islands with a horizontal resolution of 1km. It provides the boundary conditions to the inner domain, which covers the area around Ciutadella with a spatial resolution of 10m.
Further details of the system configuration can be found in Renault et al. (2011).

Baltic Sea Region Integrated Maritime Cultural Heritage Management Data Portal
The cultural heritage (CH) of the Baltic Sea is exceptionally versatile and well preserved even in a global comparison. To date, these cultural assets are barely included in Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Baltic Sea. The BalticRIM project aims to integrate cultural heritage resource management into MSP in the Baltic Sea, using the opportunity of the ongoing processes driven by the MSP Directive across all Baltic Sea Region (BSR) countries. It will contribute to some lacking dimension of sustainability in the MSP processes in the BSR, thereby closing gaps to support regional efforts and to become an international model of MSP implementation. BalticRIM aims to improve the capacity of regional and maritime cultural heritage (MCH) planning agencies by developing, testing and implementing new planning solutions, innovative ways of public participation as well as sectoral MCH concepts throughout the BSR.

Bimodal Seas around the English Coastline - Channel Coastal Observatory (ODIS id: 1570)
Bimodal Seas around the English Coastline - Channel Coastal Observatory
A sea state is typically composed of either wind-sea, swell-sea, or a combination of the two. Wind-seas are generated by local winds, while swell-seas generally have been generated in a distant storm and dispersed out of the generating area. A combination of sea and swell can produce bimodal sea conditions.
Data from Datawell directional Waverider buoys deployed by the National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes of England, plus data from 3 industry buoys kindly provided by RWE Innogy and Wave Hub Limited, together provide an opportunity to assess the extent of bimodal seas both spatially and temporally.
The monthly percentage of occurrence of bimodal sea conditions are given in the following spreadsheet, together with summary statistics for monthly, seasonal and annual occurrence. This document will be updated annually.
The method for deriving statistics for bimodal seas and an assessment of their occurrence around the English coastline are described in:

Biological Information System for Marine Life (ODIS id: 278)
The Biological Information System for Marine Life, in short BISMaL, is a web-based data system for biodiversity information, particularly in biogeographic data of marine organisms. BISMaL was constructed by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and is operated in the Global Oceanographic Data Center (GODAC) of JAMSTEC. BISMaL mainly collects information on marine organisms around Japan. And its aim is to open information of marine organisms to the public and to contribute to a better understanding of marine biodiversity.
BISMaL is an integrated data system including photographs, movies, distribution records, references, and brief descriptions of morphology/ecology of each species or its higher taxon. Although BISMaL is a data system of JAMSTEC, it also works as the system of the Japan Ocean Biodiversity Information System Center (J-OBIS), the Japan node of the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS). Data and information collected and integrated by J-OBIS are opened to the public and provided to OBIS through BISMaL. BISMaL is contributing to global data sharing and information exchange as well as working as a data system of JAMSTEC.

In the framework of EU-MC project SIMSEA, a modelling study has been initiated to validate the General Estuarine Transport Model (GETM) for Black Sea’s simulations. The model is forced with atmospheric data from the European Regional Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX), river runoff from Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) and is initialised with temperature and salinity 3D fields coming from the project MEDAR/MEDATLAS II. Simulations are performed in a closed basin configuration with boundary conditions at the Bosphorus strait ensuring a net zero water flux balance in the Black Sea. An accurate method to calculate the optical depth estimated from satellite data has been involved. The model has been validated against measured/calculated temperature and salinity fields. The simulations with our hydrodynamic model correctly capture the Black Sea’s hydrodynamics – the strong halocline at 70-150 m, the Cold Intermediate Layer (CIL) at ~70 m, the doming of the isohalines due to the cyclonic Rim current, sea surface temperature variation, etc. A new Black Sea Ecosystem Model (BSSM) is linked via the Framework for Aquatic Biogeochemical Models (FABM,) with our hydrodynamic model. The coupled physical-ecosystem modelling system has been also calibrated and validated for the Black Sea runs. The numerical experiments indicate that the biogeochemical components of the model rather successfully reproduce the main features and state variable evolution in the Black Sea ecosystem: the growth in phytoplankton biomass and changes in seasonal cycles of the main ecosystem components. It is concluded that the physical processes are important for a reliable reproduction of seasonal and inter-annual changes in the ecosystem.

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).

Cefas WaveNet interactive map
WaveNet, Cefas’ strategic wave monitoring network for the United Kingdom, provides a single source of real-time wave data from a network of wave buoys located in areas at risk from flooding.
In operation since 2002, WaveNet collects and processes data from the Cefas-operated Datawell Directional Waverider buoys, tethered at strategic locations around the UK coastline. The WaveNet system also gathers wave data from a variety of third party platforms and programmes (industry and public sector-funded), all of which are freely available for visualisation on the WaveNet website.
Cefas sends the wave data to the Met Office (to help improve the wave and tidal surge model) and the National Flood Forecasting Service for access by the UK Coastal Flood Forecasting Service (UKCFF). Regional flood forecasters, local authorities and other stakeholders use the near-real time data from the buoys and the model predictions to provide better advice, guidance and warnings to emergency responders and communities about imminent coastal flood risk.
On a longer timescale, the data can provide coastal engineers and scientists with a better understanding of the wave climate when designing coastal flood defences and as evidence for climate change studies.
Some data are available for download from the WaveNet website; the procedure to access the data archive is available below. Please also see the Data Policy page for guidance on any restrictions on the use of the data.

CEOS International Directory Network IDN
The CEOS International Directory Network (IDN) is a Gateway to the world of Earth Science data. The CEOS IDN is an international effort developed to assist researchers in locating information on available datasets. The directory is sponsored as a service to the Earth science community.
CEOS was established in September, 1984 in response to a recommendation from a Panel of Experts on Remote Sensing from Space and set up under the aegis of the G7 Economic Summit of Industrial Nations Working Group on Growth, Technology, and Employment. This Panel recognized the multidisciplinary nature of space-based Earth observations and the value of coordinating international Earth observation efforts to benefit society.
Accordingly, the original function of CEOS was to coordinate and harmonize Earth observations to make it easier for the user community to access and use data. CEOS initially focused on interoperability, common data formats, the inter-calibration of instruments, and common validation and inter-comparison of products. However, over time, the circumstances surrounding the collection and use of space-based Earth observations have changed.
The number of Earth-observing satellites has vastly increased.
Onboard instruments are more complex and are capable of collecting new types of data in ever-growing volumes.
The user community has expanded and become more diverse as different data types become available and new applications for Earth observations are developed.
Users have become more organized, forming several international bodies that coordinate and levy Earth observation requirements.
In response to this changing environment, CEOS has evolved, becoming more complex and expanding the number and scope of its activities. In addition to its original charge, CEOS now focuses on validated requirements levied by external organizations, works closely with other satellite coordinating bodies (e.g. the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites, CGMS), and continues its role as the primary forum for international coordination of space-based Earth observations.
Over the past three decades, CEOS has significantly contributed to the advancement of space-based Earth observation community efforts. CEOS Agencies communicate, collaborate, and exchange information on Earth observation activities, spurring useful partnerships such as the Integrated Global Observing Strategy (IGOS). CEOS played an influential role in the establishment and ongoing development of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). CEOS, through the major investments made by CEOS Agencies in developing the space segment of GEOSS, continues to provide space-based Earth observations in support of GEOSS implementation.
CEOS Agencies work together to launch multi-agency collaborative missions, and such cooperative efforts have highly benefited users all around the world. CEOS also provides an established means of communicating with external organizations, enabling CEOS to understand and act upon these organizations’ Earth observation needs and requirements.

Chilean Wave Atlas
Welcome to the wave information website of the School of Oceanic Civil Engineering of the University of Valparaíso .
On this site you will find statistical and forecast information for waves generated within the framework of the Fondef-Idea IT13I20006 project "A Wave Atlas for Chile".
The statistical information presented in the section "Atlas de Oleaje de Chile" was generated with the Wavewatch III v.4.18 model calibrated from satellite and buoy altimetry measurements, which was later corrected for systematic errors. This information corresponds to the best available on the project completion date and meets the main objective and motivation, which is to make the statistical behavior of the waves off the coast of Chile freely available.
The swell information from the Atlas was analyzed with a level of detail rarely seen. Thus, it was possible to characterize the operational and extreme wave climate, also including advanced technical aspects such as storm surge duration, storm trajectory, spectral shape, multimodality and uncertainty, among others.
The wave forecast is generated with the Wavewatch III model from NOAA operational forecast wind fields . Information is delivered in deep waters and in front of the mouth of the most important ports. Climate change projections were generated from global climate models whose bias was corrected using information from the Wave Atlas. The information on historical swells was compiled from bibliographic sources, press archives, and records of the Chilean Navy.
Degree memories , technical reports and publications in conferences and magazines support and complement the content presented in this document.

This information corresponds to the best available on the project completion date and meets the main objective and motivation, which is to make the statistical behavior of the waves off the coast of Chile freely available.
The swell information from the Atlas was analyzed with a level of detail rarely seen. Thus, it was possible to characterize the operational and extreme wave climate, also including advanced technical aspects such as storm surge duration, storm trajectory, spectral shape, multimodality and uncertainty, among others.
The wave forecast is generated with the Wavewatch III model from NOAA operational forecast wind fields . Information is delivered in deep waters and in front of the mouth of the most important ports. Climate change projections were generated from global climate models whose bias was corrected using information from the Wave Atlas. The information on historical swells was compiled from bibliographic sources, press archives, and records of the Chilean Navy.
Degree memories , technical reports and publications in conferences and magazines support and complement the content presented in this document.

CoastAdapt is an information delivery and decision support framework. It is for anyone with an interest in Australia’s coast, the risks it faces from climate change and sea-level rise, and what can be done to respond to those risks.
CoastAdapt contains information and guidance to help people from all walks of life understand climate change and the responses available to manage the impacts. Although there is a focus on Australia’s coastal regions, CoastAdapt also links the user to climate change resources on the NCCARF website and beyond that are relevant to Australia more broadly.
There are three datasets in Shoreline Explorer:
Sediment compartments (Section 1 in this document). This summarises the available
information on physical (i.e., ocean currents, geomorphology etc.) coastal risks for each
coastal compartment in Australia.
Smartline (Section 2). This comes in a basic version and an advanced version. It is by far the most complex of the datasets in CoastAdapt, so you may wish to try the basic version first. It provides information on erodibility of the coastline based on geology.
Water Observations from Space (Section 3). This provides information on present-day flood risk using satellite data.
Local government boundaries are also provided. You can look at more than one dataset at once. Each dataset has a horizontal slider bar below its name – this controls the transparency and opacity of the dataset. Sliding it to the left makes the data more transparent, and to the right more opaque.

Coastal Behavior - European Geological Data Infrastructure
The public availability of satellite data and new analytical tools for processing big data, such as the Google Earth Engine, enable us to look at coastline migration in a new way. Scripts for automated detection of the land-water boundary generate numerous data points for each part of the European coastline. When averaged by year and analyzed for a decadal period, these data points form the basis for a new pan-European coastline-migration map that covers a consistent time period relevant for present-day coastal-zone management, eliminates data gaps, and portrays a single coastline indicator that is assumed to correspond to the mid-tide land-water boundary. As part of EMODnet-Geology, Gerben Hagenaars at Deltares performed an analysis for tens of thousands of transects with a spacing of 500 meters, giving a map resolution of 1:1,000,000.

Want to know what the Australian coastline may look like in 2100? Coastal Risk Australia (CRA) has been developed to show you just that. It is an interactive map tool designed to communicate coastal inundation associated with sea level rise to the year 2100. Using Google Earth Engine technology, CRA allows you to investigate the extent of coastal inundation using the latest 3D models of the Australian coastline. Data have been captured using airborne LiDAR technology to create detailed digital elevation models (DEMs), which are then combined with ‘bucket-fill’ inundation modelling to create the map-based visualisations. This capability has been developed through long term investments and partnerships between FrontierSI and NGIS Australia. The DEMs which underpin the inundation models are now available for download from Geoscience Australia at http://www.ga.gov.au/elvis/.

Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis (CORA) (ODIS id: 801)
The CORA dataset (Coriolis Ocean Dataset for Reanalysis) aims to diffuse all types of in-situ temperature and salinity measurements with a maximal sampling, including high frequency profilers (ARGO, CTD, etc...) surface and sub-surface timeseries (Thermosalinographs and surface drifters, etc...). The current version of the CORA dataset (CORA5.0) stands out from the previous version by the intake of millions profiles from the historical period (1950-1990) and the intake of year 2015 profiles from Coriolis. A very careful validation process is performed on the CORA measurements since the probably erroneous profiles are individually checked by an oceanographer which changes the data quality flags if necessary. This work flow reduces the amount of unnecessary flags leading to a better estimation of the ocean variability. Last, a correction is applied on the XBT measurement depth following the method bu Hamon et al. 2012. The CORA dataset is distributed by the Copernicus Marine and Environement Service online catalogue: Product User Manual and Documentation are also distributed by Copernicus.

Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the most important places in the world for species and their habitats. Faced with a global environmental crisis we need to focus our collective efforts on conserving the places that matter most. The KBA Programme supports the identification, mapping, monitoring and conservation of KBAs to help safeguard the most critical sites for nature on our planet – from rainforests to reefs, mountains to marshes, deserts to grasslands and to the deepest parts of the oceans.

Data Portal - Global Earth Observation System of Systems' Platform
The Global Earth Observation System of Systems’ Platform (former GEOSS Common Infrastructure, or GCI) proactively links existing and planned observing systems around the world and supports the development of new systems where there are gaps. The GEOSS Platform promotes the use of common technical standards so that data from thousands of different instruments can be combined into coherent data sets.
The GEOSS Portal offers a single Internet access point to Earth observation data, information and knowledge from all over the world for users with different backgrounds and from different disciplines. The Portal has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface to discover, access and use the ever-growing quantities of GEO resources. Through the Portal, the GEOSS Platform connects the users to the wealth of heterogeneous collections of databases and other portals and provides reliable, up-to-date and user-friendly (current and historical) information – vital for the work of decision/policymakers, planners and emergency managers. Both the public and private sectors but as well citizens are served.
Users can discover data considering temporal, thematic and geographic search criteria, and apply progressive filtering to retrieve, quickly and accurately, the resources they need. Information regarding the data can be inspected either via an information window or visually on different background maps if enabled before download.
For users with limited or no access to the Internet, there are regions making similar information available via the satellite service, GEONETCast. The GEOSS Platform is a brokering infrastructure.
The GEO Discovery and Access Broker (GEO DAB) is the primary mechanism by which all data and information is discovered and accessed. The GEO DAB implements the necessary mediation and harmonization services through Application Program Interfaces (APIs). These APIs allow data providers to share resources without having to make major changes to their technology or standards.
Presently GEOSS Platform brokers more than 150 autonomous data catalogs and information systems, useful for the different GEO Societal Benefit Areas including data from: CAFF, Data.gov, Data.uk, EEA, GBIF, Iris, JRC Open Data catalog, NASA, NCAR, NOAA, OCHA HDX, RCMRD, UNEP, UNOSAT, USGS, Web Energy Services, WMO WIS and many more.
Data providers are constantly being added and brokered, according to user needs, the thematic and geographic balance of the data and relevance of resources shared.

Datasets - Map of Life
Geographic information about biodiversity is vital for understanding the many services nature provides and their potential changes, yet remains unreliable and often insufficient. Built on a scalable web platform geared for large biodiversity and environmental data, Map of Life endeavors to provide ‘best-possible’ species range information and species lists for any geographic area. Map of Life aims to support effective and global biodiversity education, monitoring, research and decision-making by assembling and integrating a wide range of knowledge about species distributions and their dynamics over time.
Data: the Map of Life assembles and integrates different sources of data describing species distributions worldwide. These data include expert species range maps, species occurrence points, ecoregions, and protected areas from providers like IUCN, WWF, GBIF, and more. All data assets are stored, managed, backed up, and accessed using a hosted cloud instance.

ReefBase is the official database of the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN), as well as the International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN). The ReefBase Project is housed at the WorldFish Center in Penang, Malaysia, with funding through ICRAN from the United Nations Foundation (UNF).
ReefBase's Online Geographic Information System (ReefGIS) allows you to display coral reef related data and information on interactive maps. You can zoom, search and query data layers, and save or bookmark the map. Selected datasets in ReefBase can be downloaded here.

Geographic Information Systems have become indispensable tools in managing and displaying marine data and information. However, a unique georeferenced standard of marine place names and areas was not available, hampering several marine geographic applications, for example the linking of these locations to databases to integrate data. The purpose of Marine Regions is therefore to create a standard, relational list of geographic names, coupled with information and maps of the geographic location of these features. This will improve access and clarity of the different geographic, marine names such as seas, sandbanks, ridges and bays and display univocally the boundaries of marine biogeographic or managerial marine areas.
Marine Regions is an integration of the VLIMAR Gazetteer and the VLIZ Maritime Boundaries Geodatabase. The VLIMAR Gazetteer is a database with geographic, mainly marine names such as seas, sandbanks, seamounts, ridges, bays or even standard sampling stations used in marine research. The geographic cover of the VLIMAR gazetteer is global but initially focused on the Belgian Continental Shelf and the Scheldt Estuary and the Southern Bight of the North Sea. Gradually more regional and global geographic information was added to VLIMAR and combining this information with the Maritime Boundaries database, representing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the world, led to the creation of marineregions.org.
Marine Regions is managed by the Flanders Marine Institute. Funding for the creation of the VLIMAR gazetteer was provided initially through the EU Network of Excellence MarBEF, but also other European initiatives such as Lifewatch provide the necessary funding for the maintenance and management of Marine Regions.
Marine Regions depends on data and knowledge sharing from global, European, regional and national data providers and relevant experts. By setting up Collaboration Agreements, data providers will benefit from belonging to the Marine Regions partnership as they would get increased visibility, gain access to a variety of data analysis services which will benefit from integration of several distributed spatial datasets, as well as enjoying the benefit of the creation of stable unique identifiers. An example template of a Collaboration Agreement can be found here. Please contact info@marineregions.org if your organisation is interested to explore this collaboration.

EarthData - Observing System Data and Information System
The Oceans discipline encompasses geophysical parameters that characterize the oceans (e.g., temperature, salinity, sea surface topography, chemistry/biology optics) as well as those physical processes operating within the Earth’s oceans and at its surface. Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) hold ocean data products describing many ocean processes including ocean circulations, winds, heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere and the interaction of solar radiation with the ocean. Sea ice products also are included in the discipline (in addition to being within the Cryosphere discipline). The primary DAACs for ocean products are the Physical Oceanography DAAC (PO.DAAC) and Ocean Biology DAAC (OB.DAAC). Sea ice products are provided by the Alaska Satellite Facility DAAC (ASF DAAC) and National Snow and Ice Data Center DAAC (NSIDC DAAC). Several other DAACs also hold Oceans data as they relate to their respective disciplines.

Electronic guide to the natural environment of the Caspian Sea (ODIS id: 266)
Electronic guide to the natural environment of the Caspian Sea
The Caspian Sea is inland and is located in an extensive continental depression on the border of Europe and Asia. The Caspian Sea has no connection with the ocean, which formally allows us to call it a lake, but it has all the features of the sea. It is elongated in the meridional direction and is located between 47 degrees. 07 minutes and 36 degrees. 33 minutes s.sh. and 45 degrees. 43 minutes and 54 degrees. 03 minutes v.d. The length of the sea along the meridian is about 1200 km, the average width is 310 km. The sea area at a level mark of 27.5 m BS is 386.4 thousand km.
textPhysically and geographically and according to the nature of the underwater relief, the sea is divided into three parts: northern, middle, and southern. The conditional border between the northern and middle parts runs along the line of Chechen Island - Cape Tyub-Karagan, between the middle and southern parts - along the line of Chechen Island. Residential - M. Kuuli.
The northern part of the sea is shallow, its average depth is 5 - 6 m, maximum depths of 15 - 20 m are located on the border with the middle part of the sea. The bottom relief is complicated by the presence of banks, islands, Borozdin.
The middle part of the sea is a separate basin, the area of the maximum depths of which - the Derbent depression - is shifted to the western coast. The average depth of this part of the sea is 190 m, the greatest is 788 m. The western slope of the Derbent depression is narrow and steep, the eastern slope is strongly stretched. The bottom of the depression is a slightly sloping plain with depths mainly from 400 to 600 m.
The southern part of the sea is separated from the middle Absheron threshold, which is a continuation of the Main Caucasian ridge. The depths above this underwater ridge do not exceed 180 m. The deepest part of the South Caspian Basin with a maximum depth of 1025 m for the sea is located east of the Kura delta. Several underwater ridges up to 500 m high rise above the bottom of the basin.
Meteorological conditions in different parts of the Caspian Sea are not the same due to its large meridional length. The northern part of the sea is characterized by the prevalence of east and south-east winds for most of the year. In the middle part, winds of the northwestern and southeastern directions prevail, in the area of the Absheron Peninsula due to the orographic effect - the winds of the northern and southern directions. In the southern part of the sea, north and north-east winds prevail in the south-west, north-west winds prevail in the extreme south-east in winter, and south-east in summer.
Strong and stormy winds, mainly of northwestern and southeastern directions, are observed most often in spring and winter near the western coast of the Middle Caspian, especially in the area of the Absheron Peninsula.
Average annual air temperatures vary from 10 degrees C in the northern part of the sea to 17 degrees C in the south. The coldest month is January, the warmest are July and August.
The distribution of precipitation over the sea area is extremely uneven. At the western coast of the southern part of the sea, it ranges from 65 (Oil Rocks) to 1250 mm per year (Lankaran zone). North of the Absheron Peninsula, the amount of precipitation is 400 - 430 mm. The eastern coast is dry, the maximum amount of precipitation does not exceed 15 - 20 mm.
Ice appears in the northern part of the sea every November. In severe winters, the entire water area of the northern part is covered with ice; in mild winters, the ice stays in shallow water within the 2 - 3 meter isobath. The appearance of ice in the middle and southern parts of the sea occurs in December - January.
The water temperature is subject to latitudinal changes, most pronounced in winter, when the temperature changes from 0 - 0.5 degrees C at the ice edge in the north of the sea to 10 - 11 degrees C in the south, i.e. the difference in water temperature is about 10 degrees C. The summer period is characterized by horizontal uniformity in the temperature distribution in the surface layer: in the middle part of the sea 24 - 25 degrees C, in the southern part 25 - 26 degrees C, in the southeast up to 27 - 28 degrees. C. The maximum water temperature is observed in August. Seasonal changes in water temperature are noticeable in the upper 100-meter layer. In the bottom layers of the sea, the temperature during the year is about 4.5 degrees C in the middle part and 5.8 - 5.9 degrees. From the south.
The salinity of water changes especially sharply in the northern part of the sea: from 0.1 ‰ in the mouth areas of the Volga and the Urals to 10 -11 ‰ on the border with the Middle Caspian. In the middle and southern parts of the sea, salinity fluctuations are small. Basically, it is 12.6 - 13.0 ‰, increasing from north to south and from west to east. Salinity increases insignificantly with depth (by 0.1 - 0.2.).
The level of the Caspian Sea is subject to significant fluctuations due to changes in the water balance and, above all, in the Volga runoff. During the historical time, sea level has undergone significant fluctuations, continuing in modern conditions. The annual course of the level is characterized by a maximum in June - July and a minimum in February. The range of intra-annual fluctuations is 30 - 35 cm. Surge fluctuations of the level are manifested throughout the sea, but they are most significant in the shallow northern part, where, with maximum surges, the level can increase by 2.0 - 4.5 m, with surges, decrease by 1, 0 - 2.5 m.

Environmental Mapping and Data - Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
BOEM’s Office of Environmental Programs (OEP) assesses resource information for over 1.7 million acres of Federal waters, encompassing energy resources (conventional oil and gas and wind) and vast mineral deposits, including valuable sand and gravel and other seabed minerals. Maps and other spatial visualization tools help BOEM scientists consider geographic data and information (e.g., location and distance) to effectively conduct thorough, timely, and effective environmental assessments. For example, integrating whale sighting locations and distances from industry infrastructure into a map of other natural resources makes it easier for scientists to perform accurate impact analyses, recommend effective mitigations, and present this information to decision makers.

ERSP on hydrometeorological regime of the Laptev Sea
The electronic regime reference manual (ERS) on the hydrometeorological regime of the Laptev Sea is a reference book containing information on the climatic characteristics of the marine environment of the sea.
The ERSP was prepared on the basis of the initial domestic and foreign data of hydrometeorological observations accumulated in the State Fund of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "VNIIGMI-MCD" for a long time period.
The ERA is aimed at a wide range of users associated with the study and practical use of the natural resources of the oceans and seas. It contains extensive tabular and cartographic materials without their textual scientific analysis and does not replace other climatic publications of similar topics. It also presents a general climatic description of the region under study, prepared based on materials.
The ERSP is based on the calculated data of operating characteristics in the coastal zone of the sea, obtained from the results of urgent observations at the network of coastal hydrometeorological stations (GMR) and posts (GMP), and data from oceanographic and marine hydrometeorological observations in the open part of the Laptev Sea, including secular stations. cuts. As design parameters of the marine environment, we used such characteristics as water and air temperature, salinity, conditional water density, sea level, wind and wave characteristics, oxygen content, and sound speed.
In terms of structure, the ERSP consists of three parts. Its first part provides general background information on the sources of information that forms the basis of calculations. For the coastal zone of the sea, a map is given with the location of coastal observation points, as well as passport data on the GMR (names of stations, their code numbers, coordinates, and observation periods). For the open sea, maps of the water area illumination by observations and reference tables, respectively, for ship hydrometeorological and deep-sea oceanographic observations with the number and period of observations for individual one-degree squares of Marsden and stations of secular sections are provided.
In the second part of the ERSP, tabular and graphic materials with the climatic characteristics of the coastal zone of the Laptev Sea are given, containing the calculated data of the average and extreme values of the parameters and their recurrence over long-term months, as well as characteristics of the interannual variability of the parameters.
The third part of the ERSP contains the results of calculations of the climatic characteristics of the marine environment of the open sea with the presentation of maps of the calculated hydrometeorological and oceanographic fields on the sea surface and on individual observation horizons. In a tabular form, for all one-degree squares and stations of secular sections, statistics of monthly average and extreme values of parameters at standard horizons are given. In general, for the entire water area of the sea, the recurrences of parameter values for multiyear months and their annual variation were calculated.
The ERSP has a laser disk with the results of climatic data processing and a software application for accessing them and is supplemented by an NTML version oriented to a standard Internet browser.
