The CarboEurope Regional Experiment dedicated web site will allow the data management and provide access to the relevant informations for all the teams involved in the project.

As a commitment in the European “Regional Experiment” programme, CNRM is in charge of the Database management. The various tools relative to this Database, as well as the corresponding web site are developed and maintained by Medias-France, a French company under the umbrella of public Institutes (the French space agency (CNES), Météo-France, CNRS and IRD).

The principal objectives of these tools are :

• To collect, structure and standardize the various data sets, in a hierarchical way and metadata bank
• To build simple, ergonomics and distributed interfaces to facilitate datasets and metadatasets access
• To archive and secure  datasets
• To provide technical support to CarboEurope Regional Experiment (Hardware and Software)

The web site (URL : http://carboregional.mediasfrance.org/) dedicated to CarboEurope Component 3 provides data access, data and metadata upload, focus point for community (news, documents), advertising (partners, organisations) for a simple and fast access to datasets, centralized in a single site.

To upload and download data, two secured ftp sites are available (with login/password) :

• One uploading site:  http://carboregional.mediasfrance.org/data/depot (Upload data files in specified directory +  README file + welcome message, metadata input using specific forms, E-mail to [email protected] after downloading)
• Access site :  http://carboregional.mediasfrance.org//data/acces/index

A dedicated mailing list: [email protected], archived, secured (Virus), classified (Spam). This is an open mailing-list (without administrator). To subscribe, http://carboregional.mediasfrance.org/mailinglist/index.en.php .
All e-mails are archived.

A special web page is dedicated to the field campaign
(http://carboregional.mediasfrance.org/campagne/index) containing all information of a given day :

• Weather forecasting
• Forecast trajectories of STILT model
• Forecast trajectories of ALADIN model
• Quick look of measurements of the previous days (time series of meteorological parameters, CO2, fluxes for surface stations,  aircraft measurements, etc.
• A message sent by the scientific secretary of the Head Quarter on the news of the campaign (information about the status of the campaign: stand-by, alert, IOP day; the operations planned for the present and next days; etc.
