IODE

Introduction

The IOC’s International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) was established in 1961 to enhance marine research, exploitation and development by facilitating the exchange of oceanographic data and information between participating Member States and by meeting the needs of users for data and information products.

The work of IODE has resulted in a good number of guidelines, manuals and procedures concerning datamanagement and quality control.
Please view the "howto..." pages to read more on how to set up a centre, how to format data, or how to control quality. Or use the shortcuts to downloadable documents below.
