Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Data Portal
收藏资源简介:
The Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Portal is a service to allow users, through a single point of access, to find information on marine datasets held at the Data Archive Centres and at other public and private sector bodies. Marine data are expensive to collect and always unique in relation to time and geographical position. There are wide benefits to be gained from working together to share and properly manage the data. Marine data are held by many organisations in the UK and are collected for many different purposes: for the timing of tides; to determine the position of submerged obstacles; for marine conservation; to monitor and forecast weather and ocean states; to site marine structures; and for scientific research to understand marine processes.
海洋环境数据与信息网络(Marine Environmental Data and Information Network,简称MEDIN)数据门户是一项服务,允许用户通过单一访问入口,检索存储于数据档案中心及其他公共、私营部门机构的海洋数据集相关信息。海洋数据的采集成本高昂,且在时间与地理位置维度上始终具备唯一性。通过协同共享并妥善管理此类数据,可获得广泛效益。英国境内诸多机构均持有海洋数据,这些数据的采集服务于多种不同目的:用于潮汐计时、确定水下障碍物位置、开展海洋保护工作、监测并预报天气与海洋状况、为海洋工程设施选址,以及开展旨在理解海洋运行机制的科学研究。
