Oceanographical researches and Data management on Far East of Russia Dmitry D. Kaplunenko, V.I. Ilyichev Pacific Oceanological Institute, Vladivostok, Russia

Introduction Description of organizations maintaining oceanographic databases on the Far East. Current state of data distribution and management Technology of merging datasets of GOOS(NEAR-GOOS) and ARGO using the Virtual Database (VDB-technology) The sample of merging datasets for the Japan Sea basin Future plans and applications for obtained data products

Current scientific activity Oceanographic researches at the Far East now is making by: Pacific Oceanological Institute: Far Eastern Regional Hydrometeorological Research Institute: TINRO-Centre: Institute of Marine Biology FEB RAS: Institute of Marine Geology FEB RAS: Institute of Marine Technology Problems FEB RAS: Scientific Fleet (FEB RAS):Scientific Fleet (FEB RAS): Department of Marine Research Fleet: vessels with unlimited range of cruise 8 vessels with unlimited range of cruise 5 vessels with the limited range of cruise5 vessels with the limited range of cruise 7 Coastal ships support research in a coastal area7 Coastal ships support research in a coastal area The TINRO-Centre and Far Eastern Regional Hydrometeorological Research Institute have their own fleetsThe TINRO-Centre and Far Eastern Regional Hydrometeorological Research Institute have their own fleets

Administration Russian National Working Group on GOOS confirmed that participation of Russian in NEAR-GOOS is of high priority. GOOS related activity has been developing under the national program “Integrated System of Information on the World Ocean” (ESIMO), Far Eastern segment/module of ESIMO is under development at FERHRI

Real-time Data Base maintained by FERHRI -data from some coastal stations since 1998 data from research vessels and ships of opportunity

Current situation of Institutions/Organizations 1. Far Eastern Regional Hydrometeorological Research Institute (FERHRI) For the period from 1959 till the present time, the Institute has carried out about 600 cruises aboard the large-capacity research vessels. It has been done up to hydrological stations in various parts of the World Ocean. Main Data/Metadata Bases related to NOWPAP maintained by RODC of FERHRI ( TITLE NAMEOBS. PARAMETERSTIME PERIODUPGR.

Development of oceanographic data assimilation technology for making comprehensive dataset of Japan Sea historical observations. Making quick selection of data sample from different databases/archives distributed worldwide have been a reason of using VDB- technology in the developing of comprehensive dataset.
