ODINAFRICA II Remedial Training Course in Marine Data Management (Data Short Course), Accra, Ghana 14-18 April 2003.

Abstract

A special workshop has been held in Accra, Ghana from 14-18 April 2003 as part of the ODINAFRICAII program for ocean data management. This report describes the content and accomplishments of that special workshop. The workshop programme was based on the IOC OceanTeacher capacity building tool - an extensive collation of documents on marine data, formats, software, program and data management procedures, manuals, protocols, and associated tutorials. A set of intersessional assignments was formulated that included a wide range of specific dataset measures and products that will be assigned regularly through the recently established ODINAFRICA.net communication network.
