Abstract

With funding from the General Maritime Directorate (Dimar), the Colombian Oceanographic Data Center (NODC-Colombia, Latin America) was working for two years on publishing open data compatible with the international exchange: 9,000 salinity profiles, 9,000 temperature profiles, 1,000 annual time series of marine meteorology, five historical time series of official country statistics and 1000 geographic positions with measurements obtained by largest ocean observation network in the country (RedMpomm), in 127 oceanographic cruises since 1969 and scientific expeditions (including Colombian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica) and in 116 projects in the Colombian Pacific and Caribbean. The main challenge was the integration of Cecoldo's capabilities with RedMpomm and Colombian Maritime Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI), around a quality missionary process called ´Oceanographic and marine meteorological information management’, as well and get the resources to develop the Project due to the amount of data available to standardize and document. The project was strategically supported on 'Dimar Oceanographic and Marine Meteorology Open Data Plan (2022-2024)' which is part of the country's public policy on disaster risk reduction and climate variability; on the other hand, the servers were modernized, the data policy was updated, the datasets was structured and documented using open file formats and applying good practices recommended by IODE, the ArcMarine model was implemented in a custom-developed geographic application, the metadata catalog tool was updated, 600 metadata were published under an ISO 19115 profile, 450 DOIs were assigned for citation and data quality control manuals were documented.
