Data sources

SESAME Cast Database

      The bulk of historical data is the data from MEDATLAS 2002 and MATER databases. Recently accumulated data from WODB05, , CORIOLIS and ICES databases (which is not included in MEDATALAS 2002 and MATER) is added to SESAME-Cast database. All these data is appointed as “public available data” and can be downloaded by any registrated visitor.

      In addition to “public available data”, SESAME partners carried out efforts for rescue of unpublished historical data and acquisition of new data. This data added in the SESAME-Cast database and appointed as “partner available data”. Until the end of SESAME project this data can be downloaded by SESAME partners only. Part of the unpublished data is appointed by data providers as “available to data originator only”. These data can be obtained via personal communication with data provider.

      Data from the SESAME-Cast database can be downloaded in two different forms:

SESAME Bio Database

        The bulk of historical data is the data provided by SESAME partners in EurOcean format. Most of these data is appointed as “partner available data” and can be downloaded by any SESAME partner visitor. Some unpublished datasets are appointed by data providers as “available to data originator only”. These data can be obtained via personal communication with data provider. There are several SESAME partners who have unlimited download right to all data. List of these partners includes all SESAME WP leaders

          Data from the SESAME-Bio database can be downloaded in EurOcean format. However datasets usually are edited by WP9 experts. In cases where the editing was significant the editing was coordinated with data providers.
