The SAMOS Data Assembly Center (DAC) has developed a new metadata specification for SAMOS data. The specification was developed with input from members of the Voluntary Observing Ship Climate project (VOSClim), the Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM), the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), and other programs involved with metadata standards for marine observations. Upon recruitment to the SAMOS initiative, each vessel will be required to complete a series of metadata forms and all pertinent metadata will be stored in a ship profile database at the DAC.

The SAMOS Attribute Search Tool is a tool that allows a user to search any SAMOS attribute for certain values.

Additional search tools will be added in the future and suggestions are welcome. Please contact us if you have any questions.
