MAIN PRINCIPLE (15th May 2007)
The research data originated by the Institute of Marine Research are freely available for use by own researchers, national and international researchers, government officials and society in general if nothing else is devised.
The institute manage data by adopting best data management practices in accordance with established data type guidelines, quality assurance routines and data availability.

Between 1935 and 1947 Institute of marine Research established8 fixed oceanographic stations from Lista in South to Ingøy in North. The main purpose was to establish long time series on monitoring the coast and ocean climate in general.
▶ Coastal monitoring – every 10-15 days
▶ Coastal monitoring – every 10-15 days

▶ Coastal monitoring– Ferry box – Thermograph services
Institute of Marine Research has monitored water temperature at the coastal steamer M/S Vesterålen and M/S Lofoten since 1950 on 22 fixed places. From 1998 to 2006 temperature was measured sensors. In 2006 a ”ferry box” concept was established measuring temperature, salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll.

▶ Resent developments
▶ Summary
The research data at the Institute of Marine Research are available for external users.
The complexity of the different datasets encourages cooperation opposed to being a data source.
Large data repositories and complex datasets makes it time consuming to develop user friendly applications on Internet.
External users demands aggregated products integrated in geographic maps or in interactive web map services.
OECD principles and guidelines will improve data availability and imposes more cooperation.
Referencing data source is crucial.Photo: MAREANO
