Marine Geoscience Data System: Ridge 2000 Data Portal

MGDS: Goals• Scientific data access for a diverse community of

users (specialists and non-specialists)– Data repository – Cruise catalog– Data access services

• Preserve data for future use– Metadata – Quality control

• Facilitate data visualization, integration and exploration– GeoMapApp, Virtual Ocean, Google Earth, Web Services

What this lets us do…

GeoMapApp

• Live access to MGDS, PetDB, and other databases

• Import data (grids, tables)• Live access to Alvin/Jason

images in map view• Export data

– Tables– Grids (NetCDF, ArcGIS,

Fledermaus)– Bathy profiles

• At-sea on several ships(Knorr, Healy, Palmer,

Resolution, Langseth, Oceanus)

JdF Field Data• Metadata: samples, stations, dives, ship-based data, vent locations• ADCP: TN114, AT11-14• Alvin bathy: AT11-13 • CTD data: AT11-14*, AT11-31*, AT15-09*, JPT2004-22*, TN114,

TN115, TN144, TN146, TN177B, TN209*• Eh AT11-14 (ABE)• Ship-based multibeam: AT03-53, AT03-56, TN144, TN146, TN177B • Magnetics: AT11-14 (ABE)• MAPR: TN177B• Submersible/ROV nav: AT11-13, AT15-09, TN183, TN209, WF2983• Optical Backscatter AT11-14 (ABE)• Seismic: EW0207• TowCam: TN177B (CTD, Photos)
