Abstract
Colombian Oceanic Data and Information Coordination Committee (CTN Diocean) of the Colombian Ocean Commission (CCO) presents the second issue of its digital publication 'Newsletter CTN Diocean'. On this occasion, the inter-institutional articulation around the planning and execution of the 'CTN Diocean Webinar: Access and management of oceanic data' that was part of the 'Ocean Decade Laboratories: An accessible ocean' is highlighted, as an unprecedented activity in which the capabilities of the country's oceanic information systems were revealed. Initiatives related to ocean data and information developed in 2022 by members and guests of the committee are also described, such as seminars, training courses, the development of geographic and mobile phone applications that contribute to ocean data for decision-making. The experiences in data management, standards and good practices focused on the production of marine-coastal official statistics and the implementation of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recommendations for weather observers. Likewise, the document shows metrics of 2021 about colombian ocean data and information access for different disciplines, and the position of the country in the international catalogs Aquadocs, OceanExpert and ODISCat.
