Custom data processing
We are able to offer a variety of datasets through the NEODAAS request processing service, including delivery of data in near-real time to support research cruises. For examples of some products please see our
products page.
There are two main routes to apply for custom data processing through NEODAAS depending on if the project is funded by a NERC research grant or not. In both cases you should contact NEODAAS first to discuss your requirements, providing the following information:
- The geographic area you are interested in (ideally coordinates of bounding box).
- Time period you are interested in (can be in the future for NRT support is required).
- Datasets you would like or details about your intended use if you would like recommendations from us.
NERC grant applications
If you are applying for a NERC research grant where you are likely to require NEODAAS support, please contact us so we can discuss your requirements and provide a technical assessment to include when submitting the grant proposal. If the grant is successful then NEODAAS support will be provided through this.
Other (free at point of delivery)
NEODAAS data processing services are available to anyone whose work is eligible for a NERC research grant or training award. The eligibility guidelines are available from the
UKRI website. To ensure cost effective use of the limited resources available, all other applications for data processing are peer-reviewed and graded using procedures and criteria that are consistent with those used elsewhere in NERC. The highest quality proposals are given the highest priority, with those less highly graded being accommodated where possible.
After contacting us to discuss your requirements the application form for custom NEODAAS data processing is available here:
