This is done to offer good solutions for data management and dissemination of various types of research data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Collecting and analyzing field observations requires a lot of resources, especially in the Arctic where icebreakers often have to be used to carry out research expeditions. In addition, measurements from advanced instruments will be complex, and need specially adapted software to extract important information. There is also a great need for powerful computers and large storage space to analyze data from satellites and models. We therefore have a focus on efficient delivery chains for the research data so that they can be reused by researchers and contribute to societal needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Standardization of formats and interfaces for data and metadata is central to the development of modern systems for good data management. An important part of the work is the standardization of field observations from underwater observing systems, including documentation of procedures for data collection, processing, and quality assurance. Standardized formats make it easier for other researchers to use data produced at the Nansen Center. By offering data through a standard interface, the data can be more easily shared between different users and areas of application.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"spacer\" style=\"--space-sm: 15px;--space-md: 15px;--space-lg: 15px;--space-xl: 15px;\"><\/div><div class=\"infobox teal\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For more information, contact <a href=\"https:\/\/nersc.no\/en\/ansatt\/torill-hamre\/\"><strong>research leader Torill Hamre<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"spacer\" style=\"--space-sm: 15px;--space-md: 15px;--space-lg: 15px;--space-xl: 15px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"spacer\" style=\"--space-sm: 30px;--space-md: 30px;--space-lg: 30px;--space-xl: 30px;\"><\/div><div class=\"header left  \"><h2 class=\"heading-3\" title=\"Products and services\">Products and services<\/h2><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<div class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\"><p>[vc_row][vc_column]<a class=\"entrance-image primary\" href=\"https:\/\/nersc.no\/en\/products-and-services\/research-data\/access-to-data\/\" title=\"\">\n                    <figure class=\"image\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-img-md size-img-md\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1-1024x346.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1-768x259.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1-1536x518.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1-520x176.jpg 520w, https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1-800x270.jpg 800w, https:\/\/nersc.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/header_tilgang_data-1-1600x540.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\n                    <\/figure><div class=\"text\"><strong>Access to data<\/strong>Through our research, large amounts of data are produced.
