Information Resources of Marine Hydrophysical Institute, RAS: Current State and Development Prospects

In Marine Hydrophysical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences (MHI) the work on the development of oceanographic databases has been conducted for a long time. In recent years, a number of databases of model calculation results have been created in MHI along with databases of observed data. The article deals with some of the databases formed in MHI and some other MHI information resources, as well as with the problems of providing database access. The questions of developing a distributed information system with a single access point (MHI BOD) via local network are also under consideration in order to provide users with the access to the available information.
