Online request

Deploying a CTD ©

The ‘online request’ tools allow you to search inventories and select data of interest (by ticking a box). This will automatically request the data (charges may apply). BODC will supply the data requested via email or in the case of large requests/files via our ftp site. Clear instructions will be provided whatever the method of supply.

User registration

You will be required to register as a ‘BODC web user’ prior to requesting these data. This is an important, yet quick and easy, process. The information you provide will enable us to inform you of the progress of your request and incorporate your details into the data licence agreement.
