At
its 28th session (Paris, November 1995),the General conference of UNESCO adopted Resolution 138 which calls on
Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission ( IOC ) to
continue its effort to establish North-East Asian Regional-Global Ocean Observing System (NEAR-GOOS).
In accordance with the resolution , the NEAR-GOOS Implementation Plan was revised
and completed by the ad hoc Group Meeting(Bangkok,January 1996) and the
First Session of Co-ordinating Committee for NEAR-GOOS (Bangkok, September 1996 ). In the
light of the objectives of the NEAR-GOOS Implementation Plan ,an efficient data
exchange scheme should be established for the existing observing system in the region at
the initial phase. For this purpose, National Marine Data and Information Service of China
( NMDIS ) has developed and maintained
China Delayed Mode Data Base for NEAR-GOOS ( CDMDB ) to offer basic data service
to NEAR-GOOS and GOOS communities.
