Data submission

It is the responsibility of the data originators to supply fully processed, quality-controlled data sets with comprehensive supporting metadata. The goal is to distribute data to others without recourse to the originator.

Information on data file formats, parameters and basic metadata are provided in our 'General guide to data submission'. We have also prepared a series of guides detailing metadata requirements for various data types. These may be accessed from the 'Submitting data to BODC' section of our web site.

When data processing has been completed and the data are ready for submission, please contact either your designated BODC project manager or our Enquiries officer.
