SUBMIT DATA TO THE OBSERVATION FACILITY CATALOGUE

Submission of data to the SIOS Data Management System (SDMS)

The SIOS Data Management System relies on the principles of distributed data management. Datasets that are relevant for SIOS, as well as their associated metadata, are managed by several physically distributed data centres and the information from these is collected in a unified catalogue. If you are associated with one of the institutions listed below, please contact the relevant data manager to submit your data. These data will be automatically made accessible through the SIOS Data Access Portal.
