OVERVIEW
The UTM Data Centre is responsible for managing spatial data acquired during oceanographic cruises on board Spanish CSIC research vessels and RV Hespérides.
The aim is, on the one hand, to disseminate which data exist and where, how and when they have been acquired. And on the other hand, to provide access to as much of the interoperable data as possible, following the FAIR principles, so that they can be used and reused.
For this purpose, the UTM has a Spatial Data Infrastructure at a national level that consists of several services.
At an international level, the UTM is a National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) of the Distributed European Marine Data Infrastructure SeaDataNet, to which the UTM provides metadata published in the Cruise Summary Report Inventory and in the data catalog Common Data Index Catalogue, as well as open data to be shared.
Search & Access Data
Including metadata from more than 800 cruises carried out since 1979, with links to documentation associated to the cruise, navigation maps and datasets
Geospatial data mapping interface
data viewers
Underway Viewer: meteorological data and temperature and salinity of sea surface
SVP Viewer: Sound Velocity Profiles
Real Time Fleet: RT position and data from research vessels
Processing
The UTM Data Processing aims to offer a national service in the processing and analysis of oceanographic data, in addition to performing quality control of the data acquired in the vessels managed by the UTM.

Data Policy
The UTM Data Policy seeks to promote access to its data archives, subject to conditions under which data has been collected. In this context, we are working to make as much data open and available online as possible.
