3. Effective data dissemination to various users
Unfortunately, the goal was not quite met. Each of the workshop’s topics required more in-depth discussions and debate than time allowed. Yet, the workshop made significant progress. The participants approved a concise set of quality control parameters for
salinity. They narrowed the vast list of metadata p.....
