Public Distributuion Moratorium Pediods for data and samples
Data and samples obtained by research cruises are made available at online databases and other suitable methods. Durations of Public Distributuion Moratorium Periods may vary depending on applicable handling policies, and data or sample types. On the other hand, no moratorium period is applied to the Routine Observation Data which are acquired routinely by selected onboard-equipped instuments.
Routine Observation
(Japanese)
Document on acquiring Routine Observation Data
Routine Observations are operated independently from individual cruises' needs of research projects. In general, no moratorium period is applied to Routine Observation Data, but onboard researchers can set appropreate moratorium periods if needed. Different sets of onboard-equipped instruments are selected for individual vessels, for operating Routine Observations.
