This catalogue has been developed to provide an overview of the observation facilities which collect SIOS data. An observation facility can be one instrument or a collection of instruments, e.g. a weather station, and is a term used by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The annotation is standardised following the WMO standards as far as possible, in order to make entries unambiguous and interoperable internationally.
To enter data in the Observation Facility Catalogue, you must be logged in and have assigned the role "RI responsible" by the administrator. Please contact the Observing Network Infrastructure Officer to have this role assigned to your account.
How to enter data into the Observation Facility Catalogue (pdf)
The purpose of the catalogue is to make better use of the existing research infrastructure by facilitating the search for given parameters and their location. In this way, duplication can be avoided and new measurements can be co-located with existing ones. The catalogue may also be used to gain a simple overview of collected parameters and how to access the data. The search interface allows users to search for GCMD keywords or to filter by status, type or observatory. The map interface may be used to search in a particular area.
The catalogue was developed by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, with input from a task force consisting of representatives from the Norwegian Polar Institute and the Alfred Wegener Institute. NySMAC members and RICC gave valuable input on the test version.

Landing Page:
Type: land platform (fixed) Status: Operational SIOS project: RIS ids: 12246 Site info: 9 km of DAS cable from the Hornsund stations (0m elevation) up to the Hansbreen (200m elevation). The line on the map provides a simplified representation of the real cable geometry. In addition 44 geophones (SmartSolo, Digos data cubes) have been installed nearby the Hornsund station and on Hansbreen. Project and installation were made in collaboration among the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences (IG PAS), University of Tromsø and NORSAR. Core data: No |
