OOI Science Plan: Exciting Opportunities using OOI Data
E. Data Explorer
Version 1.1
The tool takes advantage of two primary ERDDAP servers, one containing the data at its most granular level and one where the data is combined and processed into a single set. This architecture allows Data Explorer to generate graphs faster and show multiple data sets at a time on one page. The ability to search and combine search terms is a core strength of the tool. Users have the ability to create (and share) their own data view across platforms, instruments and measurements.
Data Explorer (Fig. 3.26) is a new web based graphical user interface (GUI) tool for OOI data exploration. The first iteration was recently made available and has primarily been driven by user feedback to the current Data Portal and Beta version of the Data Explorer. Data Explorer combines the responsiveness of the pre-calculated data of an ERDDAP server with the advantages of GUI based data exploration.
