International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange

The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) is a global initiative that promotes the sharing and management of oceanographic data. It aims to improve the availability of ocean data for research, environmental monitoring, and decision-making. This exchange involves various countries and organizations working together to collect, archive, and distribute information about the ocean, such as temperature, salinity, and biological data. By cooperating in this way, IODE helps enhance our understanding of marine environments, supports sustainable development, and aids in addressing challenges like climate change and natural disasters.
