National Users Meta Data NMDC (Ocean.) IOC / IODE IOCINDIO Non classified Classified RNODC - INDO Other OCEAN databases International Users Data Flow Structure
Biological Databases for Indian Ocean at IODC • Primary Productivity • Chlorophyll a • Zooplankton Biomass and Species • Zoo-benthos Biomass and Density • Microbiological Parameters (Bacterial Analysis)
Major Sources of Biological Data Set • International Indian Ocean Expedition (1960-65) • National Oceanographic Programmes (1973 – cont.) • INS Darshak Cruises (1973 –78) • RV Gaveshini Cruises (1976 –93) • FORV Sagar Sampada Cruises (1985 –cont.) • ORV Sagar Kanya Cruises (1983 –cont.)
QCS for Biological Parameters • Primary Productivity (PP) • Chlorophyll a (chl ) PP measured by 14C uptake rate in PP by • G – M Counter • Gas Flow Counters • Liquid Scintillation System (LSS) Chl measured by • Spectrophotometer • Fluorometer
QCS Checks • M - Meta Data Information • V - Visual Inspection • R - Maximum value of specific Production • T - Tailend Increase • S - Statistical Check
M – Metadata Information • Inventory level information, • Validate date, time, latitude, longitude, sounding (depth), • Duplicates, etc.
V – Visual Inspection Chlorophyll (chl ) Primary Productivity (PP)
S – Statistical check • Mean +5 SD ( Coastal and Observed Depth < 50 m) • Mean +3 SD ( All Others)
