Multiple Stages of Data Submission

Data can be submitted on multiple stages (shown as green boxes in the figure below).
Data providers can provide data in multiple batches by stages (e.g. after completion of Survey (Cruise), after Laboratory analysis, publication of a research paper. They may also choose to provide the full data after the paper is published.
Information on research status is particularly useful for survey planning of AOMI users. For this reason, provision of Field survey data immediately after completion of Survey (cruise) is greatly appreciated. Provided data on Field survey will be reflected in Survey Point Map or Survey Frequency Grid Map.
