Metadata Database

The metadata database contains the information about the datasets we make accessible, including how the data were collected and processed, the types of data parameters collected, information about the instruments used, who collected the data, etc. Forms for contributing metadata to BCO-DMO are available in the left-hand column of this website (scroll down to the "Metadata Forms" heading).
