Abstract
An ocean observation data management and providing system has been developed with the
Special Coordination Funds provided by the Science and Technology Agency of the Japanese
Government since FY 1993. This system enables to manage efficiently ocean observation data as
a database. User can easily search necessary data from the database, and display figures interactively.
We designed that the system will be managed by a system manager, and many users will
utilize this system for scientific purpose. The characteristics of the system are as follows: 1)
various kinds of data obtained with ocean observing instruments can be treated. 2) Various type
of oceanographic figures can be easily derived.
We plan to enhance the system for dealing the data obtained with new type of instruments
developed by other institutions with the same Special Coordination Funds. It will also be up
graded taking account of the concept of Geographic Information System (GIS).
