NASA SST Meeting Nov. 2-4, 2011Courtyard Marriott, Miami, Florida
Outline
• Facet Search and Discovery• State of the Ocean• Dataminer• POET• THREDDS
PO.DAAC dataset discovery
Facet “drilling”
State of the Ocean (SOTO)
• Google Earth based web interface• Visualizations of near real-time parameters
– SST (MODIS + blended)– SSTA– SSHA– chlorophyll (MODIS)– ocean winds (ASCAT)
• Additional overlays– ocean storms from last 30 days– NDBC buoy data– Aquarius salinity
• http://podaac-tools.jpl.nasa.gov/soto
SOTO: SST + NDBC Buoy Data
SOTO: SSTA + Recent Storms
Dataminer
• Level 2 swath subsetting web interface facilitating sub-granule queries based upon regional, temporal, and data summary constraints
• Growing number of data products from PO.DAAC and other data centers– GHRSST MODIS Aqua and Terra *– GHRSST AMSR-E – Quikscat– Jason-2*– AIRS CO2*
• http://podaac-tools.jpl.nasa.gov/dataminer
Dataminer: Search Results
Dataminer: Quicklook
POET 2.0
• Level 3 & 4 subsetting web interface facilitating annotated imaging based upon product, spatial and temporal constraints
• http://poet.jpl.nasa.gov• Customized outputs:• 14 possible formats• Multiple plot types (map, time series,
animation, lon-time profile)
POET 2.0: Selecting a Product
POET 2.0: Request Result
THREDDS Data Server (TDS)• Simplifies the discovery and use of scientific data.• Subsetting via OPeNDAP• Viewers via (Client Applications)
– IDV (integrated data viewer), NetCDF Java Tools, Godiva2
• AGGREGATION• PO.DAAC TDS (SST Datasets)–MODIS AQUA L3 SST 4KM MONTHLY (4um/11um) (4km)– GHRSST L2P Gridded Global Subskin SST AMSRE (25km)– GHRSST L4 AVHRR_OI Global Blended SST Analysis (25km)– GHRSST L4 G1SST Global Foundation SST (1km)– GHRSST L4 MUR Global Foundation SST (1km)
GHRSST/SST forum
• Easy to use• One time registration
(http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/forum/forum)• Maintains complete thread of all
conversations on a particular topic
Future Plans
• Improved PO.DAAC Subsetter– Combines Dataminer and POET functionality into a
single tool• Search, imaging, and subsetting for L2/L3/L4 data
products
– Revamped interface, efficient/fast search– Beta version to be unveiled at 2012 Ocean
