Kansai Environmental Engineering Center (KEEC) establishes this Home Page to open the Environmental Data, especially Oceanic Data obtained in the project consigned from the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) under financial supports of the Ministry of International Trades and Industry (MITI) and required to open public under the Information Disclosure. Among them,well-controlled oceanic data will be expected to use world-widely.

The Hydrographic Data of Northwest Pacific Carbon Cycle Study (NOPACCS),which was commenced in the fiscal year 1990 for a period of seven years, was partially (up to 1995 cruise) opened as a CD-ROM by JODC in 1999.This Home Page has started from the Hydrographic DataSet of NOPACCS, including one mentioned above.

The up-to-date and revised Hydrographic Data and other oceanic data, and also revisions and refreshments will be gradually appeared in this Home Page.

We deeply thank NEDO and JODC for giving us a permission to use the Hydrographic Data of NOPACCS and to link them.
