Description
SEDOO, the Data Service of the OMP, has the mission to develop applications for the management, processing and dissemination of scientific environmental data. To be usable by the scientific community, observations must not only be calibrated and qualitatively controlled by their authors, but also “managed” by teams combining computer and thematic skills.
Composed of about ten people, the SEDOO conducts its activities at the regional level through data management requests from OMP or Météo-France laboratories; at the national level within the framework of data centres and observation services aimed at monitoring the evolution of environmental parameters over the long term; and at the international level with its participation in international programmes including large multidisciplinary measurement campaigns.
