Deliver data

This web page contains information on how to format and deliver data to the Swedish archive for oceanographic data. In the provided table below we present reporting templates covering multiple sampling approaches.

Follow these steps:

1.) Choose the appropriate template in the provided table below. We regularly make changes so always make sure to download the latest version.

2.) Fill in the template. Instructions and examples are embedded.

3.) Send data with e-mail to shark@smhi.se.

We notify the deliverer upon receival with copy to orderer of data. We then perform quality controls and when necessary consult the deliverer concerning the data. After approved quality control data is packaged with potential changes made and published on SHARKweb and SHARKdata.
