Who are we?

OGS is recognised as the Italian National Oceanographic Data Centre (OGS-NODC) within the International Oceanographic Data Exchange System of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) since 27/6/2002.

OGS is also listed in EurOcean (Marine Research Infrastructures Database) and in EDMO (European Directory of Marine Organisations).

OGS is part of the IOC's network of national oceanographic data centres and has designated responsibility for marine data. The oceanographic data base covers the fields of marine physics, chemical, biological, underway geophysics and general information on Italian oceanographic cruises and data sets.

NODC's mission is to operate a world class data center in support of Italian marine science by:

• providing data management support for Italian marine science projects maintaining and developing the national oceanographic database
• developing innovative marine data products and digital atlases collaborating in the international exchange and management of oceanographic data
• making high quality oceanographic data readily available to Italian research scientists in academia, government and industry

All OGS-NODC projects can be found in the homepage.
