COSYNA Data Management
COSYNA Data Management
COSYNA data management organises the data streams between observational and central storage systems at HZG and partner sites, the data documentation and the user interfaces for data retrieval and presentation. Monitoring the actual status of the systems and subsequent pre-operational state reconstructions and forecasts require fast transmission, automatic quality check and data assimilation. The metadata based on the German NOKIS standard and are used for data retrieval and display.
The compliance with national and international standards or guidelines for data management and quality assurance ensures interoperability with otther marine / coastal data centres regarding information sources, exchange of data, and metadata including data quality.
In this way COSYNA is prepared to contribute to a European-wide network of coastal observatories. Together, meta, observational and model data will grow into a long-term searchable archive that can be used to detect patterns in the North Sea systems' development over a broad range of temporal and spatial scales.
COSYNA follwos an open data policy for users from the scientific community, coastal managers or interested lay persons.
The COSYNA data portal presents all COSYNA data and metadata in a comprehensive way. The user can select favoured parameter, data sources, time range and presentation type (overlay raster map or time series diagram). The actual data retrieval is controlled exclusively by the metadata. The user can download the selected data.
