OCEAN ICE data catalogue system (Deliverable D7.8)
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The OCEAN ICE project aims to assess the impacts of key Antarctic Ice Sheet and Southern Ocean processes on sea-level rise, deep-water formation and global ocean circulation, thereby improving predictions of how changes in the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets affect the Earth’s climate. To achieve this, the project integrates historical datasets, new observations and advanced numerical models, including the development of coupled ice sheet–ocean and ice sheet–ocean–climate models.Within this framework, the WP7 Data Management team builds on the legacy of the EU Horizon 2020 SO-CHIC project, ensuring that Southern Ocean data are made findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) for the long term. As outlined in the OCEAN ICE Data Management Plan version 2 (https://zenodo.org/records/11096250), WP7 focuses primarily on in situ data. Going beyond open access, OCEAN ICE actively implements open science practices. Its infrastructure is designed to guarantee immediate, free access to interoperable data, utilising open-source management tools such as ERDDAP™, GeoServer and GeoNetwork. All OCEAN ICE datasets are seamlessly integrated into EU public data repositories to maximise visibility and usability.This document provides an updated inventory of data collections and products currently accessible through the OCEAN ICE catalogue. For completeness and to support the Southern Ocean Observing System community, it also includes a reference list of datasets available via SOOSmap2.
