Background
In this section of OceanTeacher, we attempt to provide an organized view of the software programs ("tools") available for marine data. The sections are self-explanatory.
Windows/PC Bias
The OceanTeacher training program is principally concerned with the advance of marine data management skills among a global community of scientists who rely mainly on the Windows operating system on a personal computer. Our bias toward these resources is quite obvious, particularly in the materials presented here (and also in the <a href="Marine_Data_Format_Types" title="Marine Data Format Types">Marine Data Format Types</a> articles. If you are fortunate enough to have more advanced resources, then we also usually find that the materials presented here do not target you. Where truly good training or explanatory materials exist, we aim to include UNIX/LINUX applications that can be installed in "X-augmented" Windows systems, but only when no comparable native Windows application exists. Also, in many articles you will find that the views expressed are completely based on the Windows/PC paradigm, without any reference to UNIX/LINUX options or other higher-level systems. We apologize beforehand for this myopia, but by means of this paragraph we've tried to warn you.
