Data Compilation of the Research Vessel METEOR (1964)@en

In 2008, the 50th anniversary of the IGY (International Geophysical Year), WDCMARE presents with this CD publication 3632 data sets in Open Access as part of the most important results from 73 cruises of the research vessel METEOR between 1964 and 1985. The archive is a coherent organized collection of published and unpublished data sets produced by scientists of all marine research disciplines who participated in Meteor expeditions, measured environmental parameters during cruises and investigated sample material post cruise in the labs of the participating institutions. In most cases, the data was gathered from the Meteor Forschungsergebnisse, published by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). A second important data source are time series and radiosonde ascensions of more than 20 years of ships weather observations, which were provided by the Deutscher Wetterdienst, Hamburg. The final inclusion of all data into the PANGAEA information system ensures secure archiving, future updates, widespread distribution in electronic, machine-readable form with longterm access via the Internet. To produce this publication, all data sets with metadata were extracted from PANGAEA and organized in a directory structure on a CD together with a search capability.2008年正值国际地球物理年（International Geophysical Year，IGY）创立50周年，世界海洋环境数据中心（WDCMARE）本次通过光盘出版物，以开放获取（Open Access）形式发布了3632套数据集，这些数据是1964年至1985年间“流星号”（METEOR）科考船73次科考航次的核心成果之一。 该存档库为系统化整理的馆藏集合，收录了参与“流星号”科考航次的各海洋研究学科科研人员产出的已发表与未发表数据集：这些科研人员在航次中完成了环境参数测量，并在参与机构的实验室中对航次采集的样品开展了后续实验分析。 绝大多数数据源自德国研究基金会（Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft，DFG）出版的《流星号研究成果》（Meteor Forschungsergebnisse）。第二大重要数据源为汉堡德国气象局（Deutscher Wetterdienst）提供的、累计时长超20年的船舶气象观测时序数据与无线电探空仪升空观测数据。 所有数据最终均纳入PANGAEA信息系统，此举可保障数据的安全归档、后续更新，并以电子化、机器可读的形式实现广泛分发，同时支持通过互联网进行长期访问。 为制作本次光盘出版物，所有附带元数据（metadata）的数据集均从PANGAEA系统中导出，并按照目录结构存储于光盘中，同时配备了检索功能。
