NEW PARTICIPANTS

Represent new centralised multidisciplinary data management activities in the main marine institute of their countries

Data are collected from research vessels and quasi-permanent coastal stations

In addition to physical and chemical oceanography, biology and geology-geophysics are frequently managed; access to remote sensing data is provided over areas of interest

Participate to several national and international projects

Established in 1946, it is one of the largest research institute in Russia. It is multi-profiles institute studied sciences connected with problems of the World Ocean and seas. There are three branches: in Sant-Peterburg's branch (Sant-Peterburg), Atlantic branch (Kaliningrad) and Southern branch (Gelendzhik).Analyzes of interannual and climatic variability of the hydrophysical, hydrochemical and biological parameters, processes in ecosystems, and monitoring of complex investigations of the Black, Azov, Caspian Seas and Artic Seas to predict their state.

TURKEY

A National Oceanographic Data Management Committee (NODMC) of 10 main national marine institutes has been formed to establish National Oceanographic Information Centers (NOICs) and a NODC

The NODC detains multidisciplinary data (60 variables) collected since 1954 in the Black Sea and East Mediterranean; it includes 13 permanent coastal stations

A web interface to submit data request is provided: www.ims.metu.edu.tr/inventory

The ISRAEL NODC was established in 2001

I provides on line data access (MEDACC) and services for projects such as interactive map included in the Web interface of the MedGLOSS information system www.medgloss.ocean.org.il/imdc
