▶ Institute of Marine Research - Data policy
MAIN PRINCIPLE
(15th May 2007)
The research data originated by the
Institute of Marine Research are freely
available for use by own researchers,
national and international researchers,
government officials and society in
general if nothing else is devised.
The institute manage data by adopting
best data management practices in
accordance with established data type
guidelines, quality assurance routines
and data availability.

▶ Norwegian Marine Data centre - NMD
Vision: NMD acts as national coordinator for marine
data and manage research data from the Institute of
Marine Research and other institutions. Responsible
as ”National Oceanographic Data Centre”, NODC
since 1971.
3 MAIN ACTIVITIES

▶ Operational data handling- daily updates
INCOMING
Automatic daily or
weekly data stream
from research
vessels, buoys and
external sources.
EXCHANGE
Selected data have
automatic exchange
– Norwegian Navy,
University of Bergen
and met.no.

▶ Operational data handling- (daily)– vessels, buoys, floats
▶ Coastal monitoring – every 10-15 days
Between 1935 and 1947 Institute
of marine Research established8
fixed oceanographic stations
from Lista in South to Ingøy in
North.
The main purpose was to
establish long time series on
monitoring the coast and ocean
climate in general.

▶ Coastal monitoring – every 10-15 days
▶ Coastal monitoring– Ferry box – Thermograph services
Institute of Marine Research has monitored water
temperature at the coastal steamer M/S Vesterålen and M/S
Lofoten since 1950 on 22 fixed places.
From 1998 to 2006 temperature was measured sensors. In
2006 a ”ferry box” concept was established measuring
temperature, salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll.

IMR
To set up a real time synchronization of databases at
research vessels, ships of opportunity, onshore
databases
SHIP
To implement a national infrastructure on marine data
management, proposal to the Norwegian Research
Council. Includes15 national institutions.
MyOcean in-situ TAC Arctic
EMODNET chemical data
SOOP
▶ Summary
The research data at the Institute of
Marine Research are available for
external users.
The complexity of the different
datasets encourages cooperation
opposed to being a data source.
Large data repositories and
complex datasets makes it time
consuming to develop user friendly
applications on Internet.
External users demands
aggregated products integrated in
geographic maps or in interactive
web map services.
OECD principles and guidelines
will improve data availability and
imposes more cooperation.
Referencing data source is crucial.
