Amazing marine life, colorful coral reef ... Do you want to watch the live broadcast of the underwater world? In the future, on the "digital South China Sea" platform built by the South China Sea Oceanic Data Center of the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology (hereinafter referred to as the South China Sea Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences), the public may have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the ocean online.
"Digital South China Sea-New Ocean Data Management and Sharing Platform" page of South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Recently, "Digital South China Sea-New Ocean Data Management and Sharing Platform" was selected as "Excellent Cases of Informatization Application of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2020".
Tang Shilin, deputy director (in charge of the work) of the Marine Information Service Center of the South China Sea Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced that marine science is a discipline that studies the natural phenomena, nature and changes of the ocean, and the development and utilization of the ocean. Based research methods. The data obtained through observation is the focus of the study of this subject.
"However, there are still many shortcomings in my country's marine science-related data sharing, which are not conducive to scientists to conduct further research on the ocean." Tang Shilin said that in this context, the South China Sea Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences established the South China Sea Marine Data Center in 2010. , And then started the construction of the "Digital South China Sea" platform.
"The'Digital South China Sea' platform currently integrates the South China Sea marine scientific data from 1958 to the present. The early data is in paper version. We need to integrate and integrate these data that is on the verge of loss, convert it into an electronic version, and upload it to In the database." said Xu Chao, the person in charge of the "Digital South China Sea" project.

To use the "Digital South China Sea" platform, you need to register first, but this does not mean that it shuts the public out-even if it is not a scientific researcher,Ordinary people can also easily complete registration and data retrieval. Of course, the current "Digital South China Sea" platform mainly faces researchers. The developer hopes that through this platform, researchers can query and call the required data, or publish the data obtained from the research on the platform.
Take the recent Japan’s decision to discharge nuclear wastewater to the sea, which has attracted great attention from the international community, as an example. Currently, the platform is integrating relevant research data to provide support for scientists to study the possible impact of the sea discharge event.

Previously, during the construction of Colombo Port City , with the help of the "Digital South China Sea" platform, relevant personnel have carried out 6 years of observations on the marine water quality and environment around the port. The two indicators of chlorophyll have comprehensively analyzed the water environment of the sea area near the port city of Colombo. The data proves that the port construction has not affected the water quality.
Tang Shilin revealed that in the future, in addition to providing services for scientific researchers, the "Digital South China Sea" will also display corresponding popular science content for people at different levels. One of the important content is to strive to promote the access of some ocean observation facilities to the platform, so as to help The public provides marine live broadcasts and other content.
