IODE Data Centres
IODE National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODC) and Designated National Agencies (DNA) have been established in around 80 member states of the IOC [1].
The Guide for Establishing a National Oceanographic Data Centre, (IOC Manuals and Guides No. 5, 2nd. rev. ed.) [2] provides guidelines for the establishment of national facilities for the management of oceanographic data. This manual is also intended to be a reference document for national organizations involved in, or planning to be involved in, oceanographic data and information management.
IODE National Coordinators
Each IOC Member States that has established an IODE NODC or DNA has also nominated an IODE National Coordinator for ocean data management. The IODE national coordinators are the representatives of a country's data and information centre on the IODE Committee. They participate in Sessions of the Committee and as such determine the strategy and work plan of the IODE Programme [3]
