organisation profile
- The Data Centre is a central assembly and management point for much of the vessel-collected (ship) data collected over the past 25+ years, plus related datasets such as those collected via moored instrument arrays (moorings) in the Australasian region. We also administer and maintain a range of data management systems and tools which include a central "Data Warehouse", accessed via a custom Data Trawler application; "MarLIN" (Marine Laboratories Information Network), the Divisional data directory (metadatabase), which contains descriptions of many of the Division's datasets (not just those held by the Data Centre); "CAAB" (Codes for Australian Aquatic Biota), a master species database which provides names and codes for some 25,000 marine species which occur in Australian waters; and the "C-squares" Concise Spatial Query and Representation System, used within data Centre applications and also accessible as a data indexing system and web mapping service to external users. The Data Centre also curates marine datasets collected by the (former) Franklin and (current) Southern Surveyor National Facility research vessels, which are integrated with our Divisional holdings for the purpose of data description, curation, access, and dissemination. The Oceans & Atmosphere organisation was known initially as "CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere Flagship", however in 2015 "Flagship" was removed from the name.
