Sammendrag
Since 1935 Institute of Marine Research (IMR) in Bergen has run an operational system
for acquisition of temperature and salinity data from passenger and cargo lines operating
in the North Sea and on the Norwegian coast and from fixed hydrographic monitoring
stations on the Norwegian coast. Presently temperature and salinity data from three
ships of opportunity and temperature I salinity profiles from eight hydrographic stations
are regulary collected and transmitted to IMR for quality check, processing,automatic
loading into a database and immediate presentation on Internet.
The acquired information is used for climatic references, short and long term climatic
forecasting, location planning,remote sensor calibration and ge ral information to the
public. ?
The paper describes history, instrumentation strategy ,IMR's data quality procedures for
operational data and how the data are presented on Internet. Plans for future
development based on more sensors and two way satellite communication are also
described.
