Third In-Region Capacity Building Workshop of the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel for countries of the Western Indian Ocean
16-20 April 2012, Mombasa, Kenya
A resolution undertaken from the above-mentioned workshop was to collate information on the existing capacity within institutions and countries participating in the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) Capacity Building workshops, with particular reference to instrumentation, data, usage thereof and modelling. We therefore request that the form outlined below, for Oceanography, be completed by someone from your institution (if not yourself as a former DBCP workshop participant) to the best of your capabilities. Some basic guidelines:
Where a question has no reference to your institutions work, please indicate with a n/a to show a not applicable answer.
We would like to get as much information as possible, so please extend the questionnaire as long as you need to by adding extra lines when completing the form electronically. Should there not be sufficient space, please provide us with the necessary information on a separate page.
Please consult fellow colleagues within your institution for additional information to ensure we create as accurate as possible an idea of your institutions capacity.
It is preferable that the form be filled in electronically. However, should this be difficult, please print it out and complete in English (if possible) and fax back to the details listed below.
Should you have any queries, please contact:
