| The NODC Town Hall at the 2008 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Orlando, FL was a great success. Dr. Margarita Conkright Gregg, Director of NODC, held the Town Hall meeting. See her presentation here: Powerpoint Presentation (18.4 mb) The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) is the national repository and dissemination facility for global oceanographic data and information which acquires and preserves a historical record of the Earth's changing environment to be used for operational applications and ocean climate research. The mission of NODC is data stewardship to ensure that global oceanographic data sets, collected at great cost, are maintained in a permanent archive that is easily accessible to the world science community and other users. NODC maintains and updates a national ocean archive with environmental data acquired from domestic and foreign activities and produces products and research from these data which help monitor global environmental changes. These data include physical, biological and chemical measurements derived from in situ oceanographic observations, satellite remote sensing of the oceans, and ocean model simulations. A key requirement for meeting NODC’s responsibility is to understand the requirements of its data customers. The purposes of this meeting are to develop the requirements for NODC’s data and information products, to begin work with the scientific community on how to meet increasing demands for open access to data, and to receive community input as NODC reviews its strategic priorities.
