The data centre for French coastal operational oceanography (CDOCO) has been developed in the frame of PREVIMER, the coastal operational system for the French marine environment. The main objective of a coastal oceanography data centre is to provide in a timely fashion the data needed by modellers for assimilation, forcing and validation purposes. The goals of this data centre are: •� to provide operational services to the actors and users of coastal operational oceanography, •� to develop partnerships with the data producers and the data users, •� to develop the operational services for data collection, quality checks, archiving and distribution. The data are received as much as possible in real time or near real time and the data centre delivers it to the modelling processes for several daily runs. In order to feed the models, the data centre collects: •� in situ oceanographic measurements, •� meteorological data (wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure, rainfalls, radiation)
