The Oceanographic Centre of A Coruña (COAC) has been conducting the RADIALES sampling program in the Artabro Gulf since 1994, characterizing the spatio-temporal variability of physical and biogeochemical processes. The COAC has also implemented additional monitoring systems, including a thermosalinograph on the B.O. Lura, a bucket sampling system, and a SBE53 temperature mooring. Furthermore, the centre has collaborated with other organizations to integrate data from various sources, including Intecmar CTDs, Langosteira buoy, Sisargas ocean buoy, and Copernicus Satellite. To harmonize and disseminate this wealth of information, a data ecosystem has been established, utilizing Python, PostgreSQL, Geoserver and Geonetwork to store, process, and share data through standard OGC services. The ecosystem also includes web applications for data exploration, visualization, and downloading. Ongoing efforts focus on implementing standards for data, metadata, and services, as well as exploring the use of vocabularies, ontologies, and the Observations, Measurements and Samples (OMS) data model to facilitate machine-readable data and enhance data discoverability.
