SADCO SADCO Southern African Data Centre for Oceanography: regional facility for storing and sharing marine environmental data Marten Grundlingh

SADCO: Target Area, data load 2001 Africa SADCO

SADCO: Target Area; all data

SADCO: data administration ORACLE DBMS, UNIX workstations Data can be flagged for security Daily backups for safety Quality control checks on all incoming data (IODE, WMO customised)

Vertical profiles (> stations): temperature salinity Nutrients, chemistry Currents Surface weather observations (6m reports, 45m observations) SADCO: data types (1)

Time series data: Currents Temperature AWS (land-based or buoy) Other Plankton (database may be remobilised for BCLME) SADCO: data types (2)

Web-enabled raw data extraction (standard & customised, off-line) Extractions by geographic area, cruise or deployment SADCO: products

Means, statistics Graphs, downloadable

Scout for data (insight into regional data) Existing public inventory of surveys sadco.csir.co.za SADCO: inventory

Examples of data use Climate changes, rainfall indices Maritime accidents Oceanographic research Environmental impact assessments School projects (outreach) Maritime consultancy

Quarterly newsletter Liaison visits, presentations Web site sadco.csir.co.za SADCO: communication

Stakeholders comprising all southern African marine organisations [MCM, SAN, CSIR, NRF (universities), NMFMR, SAWS, IMT, UCT] Stakeholders serve on Steering Committee to oversee data centre, and decide policy SADCO: management model

Manager DBA DBA2 Data proc1 Data proc2 SADCO configuration

SADCO IT Network Hardware FinancesHR Contracting Admin SADCO infrastructure (CSIR) (on site in Stellenbosch)

SADCO: development OBIS OBIS node for sub-Sahara Entrance into biodiversity domain Same management model (no full-time staff) Four main data providers (to date) Other data providers invited afrobis.csir.co.za:8000

2. Trace metal data Regenerating chemical database Load data from CSIR Durban

3. Regular data loading: Surface weather data CTD data (Namibia, MCM, France, Germany) GODAR data (WDC-Oceanography) AWS data (MCM) ADCP (ACEP) Ship-borne currents (CSIR)

4. Possible expansions: Plankton data (BCLME) Involvement with SAEON Satellite data of suitable format (BCLME/SAEON) Production of environmental indices (BCLME) – indices to indicate the status of certain parameters (within a geographical area, depth interval, using algorithms defined by a user community) – Can be computed at given time intervals (e.g. quarterly), or for given cruises, etc.

Web access to Inventory Web access to data bases Downloadable data & products Off-line requests SADCO: access

Open on-line web access to Inventory Open web access to SADCO data bases only for funding organisations Off-line access to data Open access to OBIS Free data access

SADCO: Learning points Core data Cost efficiency Consistency Commitment

SADCO: Summary Existing, functional, web-enabled small data centre Cost-efficiency through collective funding, no full-time staff Range of services and data Stakeholder representation on Steering Committee Invitation to contribute data to OBIS
