Hello, Woods Hole Data Mongers,<br>
Many of you may be aware that OOI data went "live" last week. I am
fwd'ing the announcement below.<br>
I attended the <a
href="https://www.unols.org/event/meeting/unols-ooi-coastal-arrays-workshop">UNOLS
OOI Coastal Arrays Workshop</a> last week and learned about OOI
data access:<br>
<a href="http://oceanobservatories.org/data/">http://oceanobservatories.org/data/</a><br>
I would like to share some of what I learned last week from the OOI
data team.<br>
If you are interested, please <b>join me for a one-hour, hands-on
session in Smith Conf. Room on Weds., Jan. 20, noon to 1pm</b>.<br>
Please bring your laptop or tablet.<br>
I am thinking that I will organize this session as follows: start
with a 15-min overview, then 15-min for you to explore on your own
their Data Portal or work with data from their THREDDS server, then
we will re-group for 15-min to answer questions and have some
discussion, and then I will stay for the remaining 15-min to help
with individual questions. <br>
See you then,<br>
best regards,<br>
Stace Beaulieu<br>
<br>
