Oceanographic Data Standards

Oceanographic Data Standards are agreed-upon rules and formats for collecting, recording, and sharing ocean-related information, such as water temperature, salinity, and currents. These standards ensure that data from different sources and studies are consistent, accurate, and comparable. By using common formats and procedures, scientists and researchers can easily share findings, combine datasets, and advance our understanding of the oceans. This cooperation improves data quality and ensures reliable communication across the global ocean community.
