About Ireland's National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC)
The Marine Institute hosts Ireland's National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC). The Marine Institute obtained international accreditation of its Data Management Quality Management Framework by the UNESCO International Oceanographic Commission's IODE programme in 2019.
The IODE (International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange) programme designates national oceanographic data centres and has a central coordinating role internationally. The main purpose of the IODE is to enhance marine research, exploitation and development, by facilitating the exchange of oceanographic data and information between participating Member States, and by meeting the needs of users for data and information products.
