Project Overview This dataset is a catalog of oceans data science initiatives (ODSIs). We define an ODSI as an initiative that mobilizes (often geospatial and temporal) big data and/or novel data sources about the oceans with an express goal of informing or improving conditions in the oceans. ODSI identification began in Jan 2020. Additional ODSIs will continue to be added. We identified more than 150 ODSIs and populated the catalog with data gathered from ODSI websites describing key features of their work including 1) the data infrastructure 2) their organizational structure, 3) the ocean worlds, or ontologies, they create, and 4) the (explicit or implicit) policy and governance ‘solutions’ and relations they promote. The ODSIs in the catalog are global and regional in scope and aim to enhance understanding around three topical concerns: fisheries extraction, biodiversity conservation, and enhancing basic scientific knowledge. Data overview For 100 ODSIs, we created metadata about the data architecture, organizational governance, and world-making practices such as their stated purpose, theory of change, and problem/solution framing. For a subset of 30 ODSIs, we created metadata about their policy and governance stances and practices. All metadata was created based on a textual analysis of their websites and public communications. Data collection overview Sampling strategy: We began with a purposive sample of ODSIs based on the research team’s prior knowledge of and participation in global and regional ODSIs. This sample allowed us to pilot and refine our metadata catalog approach. We then used a combination of keyword searches on Google using search terms such as ‘ocean data’ ‘marine data’ and ‘fisheries data’. Adopting a snowball sampling method, we reviewed the websites of ODSIs that came up in our initial search to find references to additional ODSIs. To determine if an entity was an ODSI, we reviewed web pages for information on purpose, goals, objectives, mission, values (usually in tabs labeled ‘About’ ‘Goals’ or ‘Objectives’) and we looked for links to ‘data’ or ‘data products.’ Entities were selected for our catalog based on two criteria: 1) their stated purpose, goals, objectives, mission, values indicated a commitment to advancing ocean science and data and 2) if they focused on regional or global scales. We selected and categorized ODSIs according to three broad focal areas in global and regional oceans governance: fisheries extraction, biodiversity conservation, and basic ocean science development. Shared data organization This catalog is comprised of three files. 'Havice_ODSIC.pdf' provides a list of each ODSI included in the catalog, and a permalink to the webpage used to populate catalog metadata categories. 'Havice_ODSIC-CodingScheme.pdf' provides a list of code description for the catalog metadata. 'Havice_ODSIC-Metadata.xlsx' is the full catalog with populated metadata.

NCEI Accession 0157036 contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from an automated shore station with a suite of sensors that are attached to Stearns Wharf along the nearshore California coast. These automated sensors measure CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION, CONDUCTIVITY, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE, SALINITY, WATER DENSITY and WATER TEMPERATURE at frequent intervals in the nearshore coastal ocean. These data can provide local and regional information on mixing and upwelling, land run-off, and algal blooms. Marine Science Institute at University of California, Santa Barbara, collected the data and provided the data to SCCOOS, which assembles data from Marine Science Institute at University of California, Santa Barbara, and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Southern California Coastal United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program.The data are made available in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Each quarter, NCEI adds to this accession the data collected or updated during the previous quarter.

Temperature, salinity, and other data were collected from CTD casts in the mouth of Resurrection Bay, near Seward, Alaska. Data were collected from the R/V Little Dipper from 1970 to 1997. Data were collected as part of the Gulf of Alaska (GAK) time series. Data include profiles of water temperature, salinity, sigma-theta, and delta.

Oceanographic measurements were collected aboard Aurora Australis cruise au1603, voyage 3 2015/2016, from 11th January to ~24th February 2016. The cruise commenced with the K-AXIS project, the major marine science component of the cruise. This was the Australian component (P.I.’s Andrew Constable, Steve Rintoul and others) of a combined biological and oceanographic study in the vicinity of the Kerguelen Axis. After conclusion of marine science work the ship went to Mawson for a resupply. During a storm on 24th February the ship broke free of its mooring lines and ran aground on the rocks at West Arm in Horseshoe Harbour, thus ending the cruise. Expeditioners were eventually taken to Casey on the Shirase, then flown home. Meanwhile the Aurora Australis was refloated and sailed to Fremantle, then on to Singapore for repairs. This report discusses the oceanographic data from CTD operations on the cruise. A total of 47 CTD vertical profile stations were taken on the cruise (Table 1). Over 850 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite and silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon (i.e. TCO2), alkalinity, POC and PN, and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. A UVP particle counter/camera system was attached to the CTD package (P.I. Emmanuel Laurenceau). A separate trace metal rosette system was deployed from the trawl deck (P.I. Andrew Bowie). Upper water column current profile data were collected by a ship mounted ADCP, and meteorological and water property data were collected by the array of ship's underway sensors. Eight drifting floats were deployed over the course of the cruise. Processing/calibration and data quality for the main CTD data are described in this report. Underway sea surface temperature and salinity data are compared to near surface CTD data. CTD station positions are shown in Figure 1, while CTD station information is summarised in Table 1. Float deployments (5 x Argo/Apex, 2 x SOCCOM and 1 x Provor) are summarised in Table 10. Further cruise itinerary/summary details can be found in the voyage leader report (Australian Antarctic Division unpublished report: Voyage 3 2015-2016, RSV Aurora Australis, Voyage Leader’s report - see the metadata record "Aurora Australis Voyage 3 2015/16 Track and Underway Data" for access to the Voyage Report).

This dataset includes measurements of marine microbial respiration and associated environmental variables contributed before July 2025 and collated within the UK research project MicroRESPIRE and the international working group Respiration in the Mesopelagic Ocean (ReMO). The dataset includes respiration rates estimated from oxygen consumption in incubations measured with optodes, membrane inlet mass spectrometry, or Winkler analytical chemistry with optical, potentiometric or spectrophotometric detection. Rates were also estimated from the formation of formazan during incubations of water samples (INT technique) or in samples captured on filters (ETS technique). Estimates of respiration rates were also calculated from the difference between net community production and gross primary production derived from the production of oxygen during an incubation of a water sample spiked with 18O labelled water. Other incubation-based estimates were derived from the fluorescence of the redox dye RedoxSensor Green (RSG) and the production of 14CO2 during the incubation of a water sample spiked with 14C-leucine. In situ respiration was estimated from changes in oxygen concentration measured by oxygen sensors deployed on platforms such BGC Argo floats or CTDs. Measurements of prokaryote production and abundance are also included.
Environmental variables include dissolved oxygen, temperature, phytoplankton chlorophyll, inorganic nutrients and dissolved and particulate carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. The data are available in ASCII, Excel and Ocean Data View formats and accompanied by a machine-readable JSON-LD description file. Standard deviation or standard error uncertainty values are provided where available. Metadata include details of the methods used such as volume sampled, incubation time and temperature, equations used to derive oxygen consumption at in situ temperature and details of any filtration step. Data providers (with ORCID), links to the data centre where the original data are held and publications describing the data and methods are also included. The aim is for the dataset to be as easy to use as possible by field going scientists and modellers investigating the flux of carbon from the surface to the deep ocean, with a particular focus on the mesopelagic zone between 200 and 1000 m.
This data collation was supported by funding from the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) project MicroRESPIRE NE/X008630/1 as part of the BioCarbon programme and by funding to the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) working group #161 (Respiration in the Mesopelagic Ocean: ReMO) provided by the national committees of SCOR and from a grant to SCOR from the U.S. National Science Foundation (OCE-2513154).

Temperature and salinity profiles were collected from CTD casts from the Alpha Helix from 02 October 1998 to 13 May 1999. These 6 CTD data sets are from two projects, the first being from the DENSE WATER project (Bering Sea, mixed ocean) and the second 5 data sets result from the GLOBal oceans ECosystems dynamics research (GLOBEC) program, Gulf of Alaska, Resurrection Bay and PWS coastal ocean data.

Oceanographic measurements were collected aboard New Zealand’s National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) research vessel RV Tangaroa, cruise ta1302 (i.e. NIWA cruise tan1302), from 3rd February to 13th March 2013, sailing from and returning to Wellington. The cruise commenced with a series of stations at the southern end of CLIVAR/WOCE meridional section SR3, followed by work around and offshore of the former Mertz Glacier ice tongue and the Mertz Depression. A series of stations were then taken along 150E and CLIVAR/WOCE zonal section S4, followed by a series of stations on the Campbell Plateau on the transit back to New Zealand. Details of all programs on the cruise, including lowered ADCP data, carbon sampling, geological coring and grabs, bottom camera footage, multibeam data, Argo float deployments and cruise participants, can be found in the voyage report (“RV Tangaroa Voyage Report, Tan1302 – Mertz Polynya Voyage”, unpublished NIWA report, authored by voyage participants). This report discusses the oceanographic data from CTD operations on the cruise.

The original primary aim of the cruise was recovery and redeployment of an array of Australian (ACECRC) and French (LOCEAN) moorings in the Mertz region, along with CTD data collection on the shelf. Sea ice cover prevented access by Tangaroa (for the most part) to the shelf, and to any of the mooring sites, and so a secondary project was undertaken - collecting CTD’s on the slope and in canyons offshore of the sea ice.

A total of 86 CTD vertical profile stations were taken on the cruise, most to within 12 metres of the bottom. Over 1400 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (silicate and nitrate+nitrite), dissolved inorganic carbon (i.e. TCO2), alkalinity, and isotopes (oxygen, hydrogen and carbon), using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Full depth current profiles were collected by an LADCP attached to the CTD package. Meteorological and water property data were collected by the array of ship's underway sensors. The vessel mounted ADCP, rigged to a pole in the ship’s moonpool, was lost on the transit south. This report describes the processing/calibration of the CTD data, and details the data quality.

CTD 2 dbar averaged data, and associated Niskin bottle water sample data.

Current meter components data were collected from FIXED PLATFORMS in the Auke Bay from 31 March 1989 to 01 July 1989. Data were collected by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015 Current Meter Components format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/f015.html.

The F015 format contains time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent the Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor. Position, bottom depth, sensor depth and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record includes values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10 - 15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments.

The Shelf Sea Biogeochemistry (SSB) data set comprises hydrographic data, including measurements of temperature, salinity and currents, complemented by bathymetric and meteorological data. The study area is located in the Celtic Sea, shelf seas and shelf-edges around the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. The data were collected by a combination of research cruises that spanned from March 2014 to September 2015. Shipboard data collection involved the deployment of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) packages in the study area. Continuous measurements of current velocities (using vessel mounted ADCPs, VMADCPs), bathymetry and surface ocean and meteorological properties were collected throughout each cruise. Moorings were deployed in the Celtic Sea in early 2014 and provided approximately two years worth of hydrographic time series data. The SSB programme aims to increase the understanding of the cycling of nutrients and carbon and the controls on primary and secondary production, and their role in wider biogeochemical cycles, which in turn will significantly improve predictive marine biogeochemical and ecosystem models over a range of scales. SSB brings together UK researchers from Bangor University, Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS), Meteorological Office, National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML), Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), University of Aberdeen, University of East Anglia (UEA), University of Edinburgh, University of Liverpool, University of Oxford, University of Portsmouth and University of Southampton. It also has UK and Irish partners, as Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI), Marine Institute and Marine Scotland Science. The programme was divided into five work packages, having Jonathan Sharples as the Principal Investigator for work package 1 (CANDYFLOSS), Martin Solan as Principal Investigator for work package 2 (Biogeochemistry, macronutrient and carbon cycling in the benthic layer), Peter J. Statham as Principal Investigator for work package 3 (Supply of iron from shelf sediments to the ocean), Icarus Allen as Principal Investigator for work package 4 (Integrative Modelling for Shelf Seas Biogeochemistry) and Keith Weston as Principal Investigator for work package 5 (Blue Carbon – How much carbon is stored in UK shelf seas, what influences storage and could it be used in carbon trading?). All data will be managed by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC).
