DISCOVERY 2010 Project oceanographic dataset

This dataset comprises water column measurements of water temperature, conductivity, pressure, chlorophyll, currents, sound velocity as well as meteorology measurements of air temperature, pressure, relative humidity, Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), Total Irradiance (TIR) and navigation data as platform orientation, position, bathymetry from instruments deployed during several cruises that took place from September 2006 to March 2009. These data were collected as part of wider Bristish Antarctic Survey (BAS) science programme, Global Science in the Antarctic Context. The main objectives of DISCOVERY 2010 are to investigate the response of an ocean ecosystem to climate variability, climate change and commercial exploitation by identifying, quantifying and modeling the interactions and processes on different scales (from microscopic life to higher predators) and regions (local to circumpolar). The project was led by Eugene Murphy from BAS and involves different scientists from the BAS Ecosystems team.

Title

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services

Explanation

BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.
