Abstract :
This paper describes a PC-based system that allows the ocean scientist to process, manage and present data collected from instrument platforms equipped with ARGOS satellite transmitters. The system accepts data either by hand entry or via modem in near real time during an experiment and also has the capability to import data received on magnetic tape from a mainframe. The data management, translation, analysis and presentation capabilities of the database system are also addressed.
