| Abstract | The EDIOS directory provides a new internet-based tool for searching information on observing systems operating repeatedly, regularly and routinely in European waters. The EDIOS directory contains metadata on European observing systems such as platforms, repeated ship-borne measurements, buoys, remote imagery, etc. EDIOS is an initiative of the European Global Ocean Observing System (EuroGOOS). The directory was developed during the EDIOS project, co-funded by the European Commission Research Directorate General.
The EDIOS directory currently holds well over 8,500 data entries, which are regularly updated. The directory is maintained with contributions from national institutes, coordinated by BODC. The website and user interface have been developed by MARIS and are operated under a service contract with EuroGOOS. |
