Databases < About JAMSTEC

Allows keyword searches of JAMSTEC's research results and achievements based on various criteria.

Earth Simulator Research Results Repository

The results of Earth Simulator projects are made available through this academic repository.

JAMSTEC Repository centrally provides open access to the JAMSTEC's research results of the contents of three existing databases, Research Results Report System, Document Database of Earth's Environment Portal and Earth Simulator Research Results Repository.

JAMSTEC Data Search Portal

Helps users to find data/samples by choosing area of interest on a map. Links to the data publication pages are also provided.

Earth's Environment Portal
(operated by the Global Oceanographic Data Center (GODAC))

Deep-sea Video Database

Provides streaming of the valuable deep-sea research videos maintained by JAMSTEC, along with various detailed information (metadata) including research location, purpose, video content (organism names and phenomena recorded), and panoramic images.

Document Database

Provides access to public relations publications, as well as reports and research papers issued by JAMSTEC.

JAMSTEC Data Site for Research Cruises

Provides data from JAMSTEC's research cruises.

Deep Sea Image Database

Provides access to images of the deep seafloor, deep-sea creatures, and other phenomena obtained from deep-sea research.

BISMaL (Biological Information System for Marine Life)

You can search marine species around Japan and browse photographs,
descriptions on morphology/ecology, videos, sample records, and references
of each species.

Marine Biological Sample Database

Provides information of marine biological samples obtained from JAMSTEC's research cruises.

GANSEKI Database

Provides access to metadata and chemical analysis data for rock samples obtained from deep-sea research.

JAMSTEC Core Data Site

Provides information and data on sediment core sample obtained from JAMSTEC's research cruises.

Submarine Cable Data Center

Provides access to observational data from the systems in place off Muroto Cape and off Kushiro and Tokachi, which were established as part of a plan to establish long-term deep seafloor earthquake observation networks in Japan.

Pacific 21

Provides access to geophysical data obtained from JAMSTEC and other research institutions along the Pacific Rim. (Institute for Research on Earth Evolution)

Crustal Structural Database Site

Provides access to Multi-Channel Seismic reflection data (MCS), refraction and wide-angle seismic reflection data from Ocean Bottom Seismographs (OBS), and marine gravity and magnetic data obtained as part of JAMSTEC's research themes. (Institute for Research on Earth Evolution)

Extremo Base
(Extremobiosphere Genome Database)

Provides data on the genome structure of organisms that inhabit in the extreme environments.

Argo Delayed-mode(High-Quality) Database

Provides delayed mode high quality data along with detailed information on the Argo floats deployed by Japan, operated by Argo Group, IORGC. Visitors to the site can also view the results of objective analyses of water temperature, salinity, and current velocity based on Argo float data.. The site also allows data from Argo floats deployed worldwide to be downloaded in real-time.

TRITON Buoy Data

Is the public web site of the TRITON Buoy Project. All data transmitted by the buoys can be viewed in real-time, and the data is also downloadable.

JAMSTEC Compact Arctic Drifter
(J-CAD, POPS)

Provides access to water temperature, salinity, current direction and velocity, and meteorological data received from sensors mounted on Arctic drifter buoys. These sensors are also used to calculate the distribution of water temperature and salinity beneath the Arctic ice.

Okinotorishima Island Observations (Japanese only)

Provides meteorological and oceanographic observational data collected at Okinotorishima Island since 1993. The latest data is added in around April each year.

Ocean Acoustic Tomography Data (Japanese only)

Provides downloads of observational and experimental ocean acoustic tomography data obtained between 1997 and 2001.

Hydrographic Data at Station K2 between 2001 and 2006

Provides hydrographic data set at station K2 in northwestern Pacific obtained by Mutsu Institute for Oceanography since 2001.

JAMSTEC OceanSITES

Provides access to data on JAMSTEC's projects contributing to OceanSITES, international network of time-series observations as reference sites.

Global Chemical Weather Forecast System

Visitors to the site can view how atmospheric pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and ozone, spread around the globe. This is made possible through the use of model systems developed to enable global chemical weather forecasts.

Japan Coastal Ocean Predictability Experiment (JCOPE) System
(ocean weather forecasts)

Provides access to predicted data and results such as ocean surface temperature and sea surface height around Japan, calculated by near-operational ocean forcasting model combined with satellite and in-situ data.

ALERA

AFES-LETKF experimental reanalysis of atmospheric data. This dataset is produced under the collaboration among the Japan Meteorological Agency, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, and Chiba Institute of Science.

General Ocean Circulation Model for the Earth Simulator Center (OFES)

Provides downloads of data from global eddy-resolving simulations conducted using OFES, a high-resolution general ocean circulation model.
