16. 3 October 2006Chandler, WHOI OCB16 of 18 What can you do ? contribute data to VERTIGO project office metadata metadata metadata »spatial and temporal »methodology (acquisition and processing) »quality control procedures »any publications associated with the data use the database, provide feedback

17. 3 October 2006Chandler, WHOI OCB17 of 18 What next ? continued ingestion of VERTIGO data into online OCB database synthesis of data from Niskin bottle samples Niskin bottle summary data product (e.g. full cruise merged Niskin bottle data) BCO DMO funding will support development of an enhanced data system interface (data discovery: map and improved search)
