organisation profile
The most important activity of SRINH is to develop the bank of oceanographic and hydrometeorological information and to provide services to users. Oceanographic reports from the units of the Navy Hydrographic Service and marine-related agencies of the country serve as the basis for updating the bank. In recent years it has been increasingly updated by the information from the international oceanographic data exchange. At present the total number of oceanographic reports in the SRINH archive amounts to 12 000, information on more than 21 000 Russian and foreign cruises is also available. In addition to the specific defense-related tasks the information provided by SRINH to users in a delayed mode is used to:
- develop and compile manuals and guides for public navigation;
- conduct the application-oriented research (information systems on the state of the World Ocean, special software modules for calculating the state of the ocean and considering impacts of the environment on marine objects);
- assess the available information of the World Ocean and plan specific works for the ocean and climate study;
- to provide safety for public navigation and economic activities.
