Evolution of JGOFS/GLOBEC Data Management System for Ocean Observation

This presentation details the history and evolution of the JGOFS/GLOBEC Data Management System, originally developed for the US GLOBEC Georges Bank Program. The system is designed to serve oceanographic data online from multiple sites, ensuring data is readily accessible as soon as it becomes useful. Key features include web-based access, multiple data servers, and user-friendly downloading options. Although the system excels in serving tabular data and is easily accessible, it lacks a graphical user interface and advanced plotting tools. Serving as an invaluable resource for scientific investigators, it continues to evolve.

  1. Coastal Ocean Observation and Analysis JGOFS/GLOBEC Data Management System Presented at the COOA Monthly Meeting Robert C. Groman May 5, 2004 1

  2. Some History • US GLOBEC Georges Bank Program wanted to serve data, on-line, from multiple sites, as soon as the data were useful. • Selected the JGOFS Data Management System developed for the US JGOFS Program • Public domain software developed by G. Flierl et al. 2

  3. Software Evolution • New features added to make it easier to serve and download data • Key features Web-based, multiple data servers, data driven, ASCII/tabular data, simple plotting options, download capabilities. • Data policy very important, i.e. how implemented 3

  14. Displaying Plots • Serving satellite images within the system works well 14

  15. JGOFS/GLOBEC System Strengths • Easily serves tabular data • Easy to access data via the web • Simple protocol makes it relatively easy to become a data server • Data are always up to date – data driven • Extensible architecture • Fits well within web environment 15

  16. JGOFS/GLOBEC System Weaknesses • User interface is list-based, not graphical • User plotting tools are simple (not publication quality) • Integrated analysis tools not yet available • Target audience is mainly scientific investigators 16
