FreeSIS (Free Ship Information System)

While out on a cruise Dana is continuosly collecting various kinds of data i.e. water temperature, salinity, oxygen and algae, which is collected within a database onboard.

FreeSIS (Free Ship Information System) is an extension of the SIS DP (Ship Information System Data Presentation) application that is used internally at DTU Aqua. FreeSIS is a freely available application that allows for the visualization and analysis of data being collected during a research cruise or historical data from previous cruises made by the institutes research vessel Dana.

See more about the types of data, which is collected on Dana  

Data is synchronized via satellite 

FreeSIS allows for the visualization and analysis of this data in a near real-time manner. This is achieved as the onboard database is synchronized, via satellite, with a land based instance of the database located within DTU Aqua once an hour. The FreeSIS application uses a secure web-service in order to review the required data.

Access to raw data

It is possible to extract the raw data collected during a specific research cruise through FreeSIS. This however requires access rights to this data to be granted by the cruise leader of the specific cruise in question. It is then possible to log on to the data extraction module within FreeSIS and retrieve the desired data.

The name of the cruise leader of a specific cruise is displayed in FreeSIS. The e-mail and telephone number can then be found in DTU Aqua phonebook.
