MOSAiC Data Management

Concepts of the MOSAiC Data Management are described in detail under MOSAiC Data Management Concepts. 

(<--See also the navigation on the left side of the page)

The metadata flow of MOSAiC is based on the O2A framework:

General Data Flow

Data annotated with metadata regarding device description and device operation will be stored in the onboard MOSAiC Central Storage (MCS) and transferred to the AWI storage (land MCS) after each leg. The land MCS will be accessible only to MOSAiC Consortium members prior to the data public release date 1.1.2023.

Data flow onboard Polarstern in MOSAiC

From left to right: Metadata of every instrument is registered in SENSOR. Data acquisition is logged with DSHIP Actionlog. Data is ingested into the MOSAiC Central Storage (MCS). Ingested data can be monitored with different tools providing that it is converted accordingly and registered appropriately with the monitoring tools. Data analysis onboard is supported with virtual workspaces. Eventually all data shall be published in an appropriate data repository, e.g. PANGAEA.

Data Flow onshore in MOSAiC

Detailed instructions how to access and work with the MOSAiC Data on land are found under  Accessing the MOSAiC (Data) Services

(check also the navigation bar on the left side of the page).

SENSOR

All devices used in MOSAiC must be registered in the SENSORWeb!!!
