The Indian Ocean CO2 and other data collection was created for the Ocean Data View (ODV) users.
This collection consists of 13 WOCE Indian Ocean sections: I01E, I01W, I02E, I02W, I03, I04I05W, I06Sa, I07N,
I08NI05E, I08SI09S, I09N, I10, and S04I. Please, copy all files to your system in order to use the ODV Collection.

If you do not have the ODV multi-platform software (ODVmp-V1.4) you can copy one from the ODV web site at:
http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/GEO/ODV/ Use the ODV web site instructions to download the ODV program.
ODV is a software package for the interactive exploration and visualization of oceanographic and other geo-referenced
profile or sequence data. ODV runs on Windows (9x, Me, NT, 2000, XP), UNIX (Solaris, Irix), Linux and Mac OS-X systems.
The data and configuration files are platform-independent and can be exchanged between different systems
(Schlitzer, R. 2002. Ocean Data View mp-Version-1.4).

The import of the CDIAC Indian Ocean ODV Collection could be done using one of the following two instructions:

I. Use the ODV Spread Sheet (indian_cdiac_woce_odv.txt) file:

	1-Copy the indian_cdiac_woce_odv.Z.txt file
        2-Uncompress the indian_cdiac_woce_odv.Z.txt file using UNIX command "uncompress file.name" or Windows
	  compress software;
	3-Open ODVmp program;
	4-create new directory for the Indian_CDIAC_WOCE collection;
	5-in ODVmp window click "File", in "Create New Collection" write a collection name
	  (for example Indian_CDIAC_WOCE) and click "save";
	6-in "Definition of Collection Variables window" choose "WOCE WHP Bottle Variables" - OK
	7-click "import" and "ODV SpreadSheet", find the indian_cdiac_woce_odv.txt and click "open";
	8- in "Import Options" window click "OK" and "OK" again after Importing Station Data window appears.

If you only need to add the CDIAC Indian Ocean ODV Collection to any existing collection use steps 7 and 8
of the instructions.

II. Use ODV Collection files:

   1. Copy indian_cdiac_woce_odv_coll.tar file (you do not need the indian_cdiac_woce_odv.txt.Z file in this case);
   2. Use command "tar xvf indian_cdiac_woce_odv_coll.tar ." or MS Windows software to untar the file;
   2. Open ODVmp program;
   3. Click "File" - "Open Collection" - in Open Collection window find the indian_cdiac_woce.var file
