UTM-CSIC Data Centre

The UTM 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 Catalogue 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.

UTM数据中心承担着管理在CSIC科研船（RV Sarmiento de Gamboa、RV García del Cid）及RV Hespérides上进行的海洋学航次所获取的空间数据的职责。其目的在于一方面传播现有数据的存档情况及其获取的地点、方式与时间；另一方面，遵循FAIR原则，尽可能提供可互操作的数据，以便于数据的利用与重复使用。为此，UTM拥有一个国家级的空间数据基础设施，该设施由多个服务构成：包括自1991年以来执行超过600次航次所产生元数据的海洋学航次与数据目录，并提供与航次相关的文档、航行图和数据集的链接；地理门户网站，提供地理空间数据映射界面；进行中的绘图与质量控制，对气象数据、海水温度和盐度进行可视化、质量控制和标准化格式转换。在国际层面上，UTM是分布式欧洲海洋数据基础设施SeaDataNet的国家级海洋数据中心（NODC），并向其提供在航次总结报告目录和数据目录中发布的元数据，以及用于共享的公共数据。
