IOC-ICSU-NlO-NOAA Regional Workshop for Member States of the Indian Ocean - GODAR-Ill (Global Oceanographic Data Archeology and Rescue Project), Indian National Oceanographic Data Centre National Institute of Oceanography Dona Paula, Goa, India 6-9 December 1994.
The GODAR Workshop at INODC/NIO,D ona Paula, Goa,I ndia is the third in the series after the two held at Obninsk, Russian Federation (17-20 May 1993) and Tianjin, China (8-11 March 1994). The Workshop, sponsored by IOC, ICSU, NOAA, DOD and CSIR was held following the decision taken at the first regional Workshop in Obninsk for the development of GODAR in the Indian Ocean region and in facilitating exchange of data under the IODE umbrella. Though the Indian Ocean is still least studied, yet a large amount of data have been collected but not all documented. The purpose of the Workshop was to unearth the data and make available to the wide international community in order to build global oceanographic databases for different fields of application, including global change and climate studies, world ocean research and global ocean monitoring, and to help in the capacity building of national, regional and global infrastructures. The desired outcome was to assess the state of data holdings in the region, to identify common goals and problems with data preservation and to recommend implementation steps and approaches to solve these problems. The Workshop was also considered as a start for laying the groundwork for a major upgrading of the entire regional ocean data management system, a major step in the development of a region-wise ocean data' system modernization programme. The present report contains a summary of the scientific papers and national reports presented at the sessions, software demonstration at Indian NODC, as well as recommendations and conclusions formulated by the Workshop.
