Hi there, I work for OceanOPS/GOOS/WMO as technical coordinator for the Argo program.

OceanOPS is delivering routinely, metadata to the OSCAR system. OSCAR is the WIGOS Monitoring tool used by WMO to monitor earth observations, including ocean. See OSCAR. Information related to the Ocean (green dots) are provided by OceanOPS following the requierments of WIGOS. The format to transfer information is xml. I will share with you a file to show you what we do.

I have suggested to Argo Steering Team that following this work we are doing for OSCAR/WIGOS/WMO we could the similar work for ODIS/GOOS. This is exactly our mandate and we have some kind of experience with this tasks.

I will share with you a file to show you what we do.

In fact I can not share this file as it is produced and grab by WMO through our API. There is not physical copy of this file available.
